About this property
Ideally Located, Sun Valley Ski Chalet
Welcome to our Sun Valley Chalet! This beautiful home is our cozy winter retreat for snow activities, and our summer vacation home base to explore just about every outdoor activity. Please enjoy our home and all the beauty and adventure that Sun Valley and Ketchum have to offer. We are located conveniently right in the center of it all. Enjoy the quaint eateries and browse the unique shops of Ketchum, visit the Sun Valley Lodge, take a spin around the outdoor Ice Rink or see a concert at the Pavilion. All of this, and multiple ski areas are only minutes away, and most within walking and/or biking distance in warmer weather. The 21 mile paved Wood River Bike Trail linking it all is less than a block from the home. In the winter, drop your novice skiers off at Dollar Mountain and enjoy a spectacular day at the River Run and Warm Springs Ski areas, then maybe take a dip in the hot springs! Return home to a memorable dinner with family and friends or a cozy night in front of the fireplace. This home will fulfill your dreams of the perfect vacation.
