Wonderful

Great place to stay! We didn't use the hot tub and pool, but the condo was great. Comfortable, stocked with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels. We will stay again!
The place is clean and well kept. Proximity to the mountain is also good. The beds were uncomfortable. Parking was confusing and the unit itself was super hard to find and multiple stories up which made it hard to unload, especially after a long day on the mountain.
It was nice! It would be helpful if there were dish towels and a sponge or scrubber in the kitchen. Also the entry code is way too long and you have to do it really fast. 4 numbers would be easier. We would stay again!

Beautiful convenient condo in Elkhorn with easy access to summertime activities!
Location was quiet, well appointed, and made for a great getaway.
Love having a kitchen with all the needed items to prepare home cooked meals for our family. Beds were comfortable and really like the room heaters for self regulation.
Property is pretty much advertised as is. Make sure you pay attention to the comments on the parking garage size as parking is extremely limited if you can’t use the garage. Property is within 10 minutes of downtown Ketchum and onsite amenities are great. Only issue we had was difficulty with the upstairs fan remotes. Otherwise, would highly recommend this property.

Perfect Hideaway!
This unit had everything I needed to be comfortable for an extended weekend. I felt safe there as a woman traveling alone. All amenities functioned as advertised. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

great place but property management not the best
This was a great place for a family of 4. We had everything we needed. The upstairs bedrooms were a little hot mid-summer but there are ceiling fans which helped. It did take us awhile to find where to take out the garbage so perhaps a informational book in the room would help that gave information on the condo complex and also recommended places to eat, etc. Our only complaint really was the parking. We had a mid-size truck which was difficult to fit in the small garage. The signage outside the garage actually said compact cars only which makes sense. This should be listed in the home description. Vacasa management was very unhelpful when we called to get the garage code and informed them the garage was too small for our vehicle. Instead of helping us, the woman on the phone simply hung up on us. Very poor customer service. Nothing wrong with the home, but we expect better customer service from management.

Elkorn village Idaho condo
Property was excellent and comfortable and the area is so well appointed for hiking and biking and golf if you want to spend the money. We didn't receive a vode to access the pool although wasn't a game changer. The condo was very hard to find..took me 30 minutes along a totally dsrk obscure corridor. Then day 2 the house code didn't work. Called the vacasa agent in south america? She tried forb20 minutes to reset code. No luck.Again it is pitch dark even in the day. She said a vacasa agent would contact me..2 hours later i called vacasa again. This gentleman was very helpful and called the local vacasa agent who wasn't available but his associate came in his place in 20 minutes. He could not use the ket code either. Opened lock box.No key. Ultimately i.guess used a master to open the door. And he was aghast at the lack of lighting at the door. Changed one bulb. Tried to chane the overhead bulb..didn't work.Called the homeowner associates who did fix the light the next day. He also gave us a workable key which we used instead of the code pad for the remainder of our stsy. I don't fault the owners but i think they need to have a strong chat with vacasa phone response obviously out of the country. Otherwise well situated and comfortable condo and beyond the 1st 2 day's has was great!

Perfect base to explore Sun Valley
This is a beautiful property, perfectly situated in the shade of tall Aspens and with a close view of the pond. We loved the 3 different porches, 2 large balconies on the first 2 floors and a small balcony from the King bedroom on the top floor. The ceiling fans were much appreciated as Idaho in July is warm! Really liked the personal touches of novels to choose from and board games to play in the 2nd floor living room and all of the Idaho paraphernalia and artwork throughout the property. We had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The nearest pool is just a couple min walk away and was quiet and uncrowded, even in the middle of high season. Sun Valley and Ketchum are easy to get to from here by the local free shuttle bus, which picks up right outside the property or by bike or car. Highly recommend this rental to others visiting the Sun Valley area! We will definitely be back.
Beautiful place, as advertised, but furniture very uncomfortable.
The place is lovely. Very clean. All is as advertised. We have stayed at many of the places in the same complex over the last ten years. We usually come up about 10-12 times per year. The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars, the lowest I've ever given any condo in this complex, is because the beds/couches/dining room chairs were hands down the worst we've all experienced. They look beautiful, but we all woke up with backaches. Our king bed was the softest bed we've ever slept on, very uncomfortable. The couch in the living room, very pretty, extremely soft and very deep. The dining room chairs also uncomfortable. Hands down the worst furniture all of us had ever experienced, could not wait to come home to get a decent night's sleep. I don't think a pillow topper can help this bed! Not sure there is anything that can be done to salvage that couch!!! Again beautiful, but when the entire family has difficulty standing up after 15 minutes you know it's not a good situation. The other thing for me personally was the number of stairs to get to the condo carrying your luggage, and then another steep stairway to get to the bedrooms. I'll always look for something on VRBO, just not this condo. Thank you. Marta
