Loved staying at this cozy chalet! Spacious, warm, lovely hosts, comfortable beds, great kitchen to cook / have breakfast in the mornings. Really enjoyed the large sofa for gathering with my family after dinner, and the hot tub/sauna. Would definitely stay again!

The house is so charming and comfortable! We had a wonderful time. Loved the hot tub and sauna, and cozy fireplace. Kitchen is well appointed. We were a group of 6 adults and the space was perfect for us. The owners were super communicative and wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at Barclays home. Check-in/out was seamless. Barclay was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions or concerns during our stay. The home is located in a beautiful area and is a short walk to the Big Wood river and multiple trail heads. My family hiked and fished daily. The property is only a 10 minute drive to downtown Ketchum and is convenient to restaurants and shopping. I would highly recommend this property and gracious host.

We love everything about staying in Barclay & Zach’s home.

Everything about this property makes you feel welcome and at home instantly. We loved the new addition of the hot tub and sauna. The location is perfect for all the hiking skiing and access to Ketchum. I’d highly recommend staying here if it’s available as it’s a super special house ‘ property.

About the host

Hosted by Barclay Thompson

Host profile image
Originally from Oregon, I fell in love with the mountains and moved to Sun Valley 10 years ago. Our home is perfectly situated next to major trailheads so I spend most of my days out on the trails adventuring in nature when possible. My cousin owns a wonderful restaurant in town called The Haven and I have two old retired guide dogs that live with me named Amador and Fleetwood.

Why they chose this property

This property is next to major trailheads and so the access to the outdoors is right out our backdoor.
In the summer, you can ride your mountain bike out the backdoor to world renowned trails and spend the rest of the day fishing at the Bigwood river which is across the street.
In the winter, you can walk across the street to endless cross country skiing trails and at the same time, the home is just minutes from the mountain.
The access is unbeatable.
