About this apartment rental
We look forward to making you feel at home in our completely remodeled 3BR/2BA condo that uses elegant European furnishings, and tasteful Alpine architectural details that set off the beautiful mature trees facing the living room. The soft honey-colored Fir/Larch wood paneling seen throughout the house and the wide-plank bleached pine wood floors give you a cozy mountain chalet feel while letting in the bright sunlight so famous for Sun Valley.
Our upstairs private cozy master suite with ensuite bath/shower offers soft wood paneling, pine floors, and sophisticated Italian black-out drapes. A 55' wall-mounted LG smart HDTV can be viewed from your queen-size Euro pillow top bed. A portable AC unit and a ceiling fan are provided during the summer.
Downstairs is a twin-bed guest room wrapped in red French toile wallpaper and matching blackout curtains. Our second twin bedroom is a charming built-in wood-paneled children's bunk bedroom with black-out curtains. Fans are provided for downstairs bedrooms during the summer months.
The downstairs bathroom has an ample, modern glassed-in shower area with a large hydro-massaging shower head, a custom built-in sink, and an Italian white marble countertop. There is also a discrete but spacious, fully functional laundry closet equipped with a large stack Bosch washer and dryer.
The kitchen is compact but well-equipped. There is a five-burner gas stove, a complete set of gourmet Al Clad pots, a microwave, a dishwasher, full dinner service for 12, and a Nespresso coffee maker.
The living room is a cozy well-appointed room with a fireplace. A backlit built-in bookcase has a 42' wall-mounted swiveling Smart LG and iPhone dock speaker (good for most devices.)
Additional amenities include a 570-square-foot wrap-around deck with Adirondack seating and a dining table for up to six; a heated storage room with a private locker for ski equipment and an outside bike area.
While we pride ourselves on the quality of our interiors, we recognize that our condo building, built way back in the 1970s, needs some cosmetic TLC exterior stucco care and paint. We are working with our HOA annually to upgrade our roof, exterior, and landscaping. Please excuse the look of our outside until it is finished.
Our property has met all regulations for a 2023 Ketchum Short-Term Rental Permit.

Nicely appointed with great amenities. We appreciate these well stocked places.

Had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was incredibly charming and clearly intentional in guest comfort. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect with easy walking distance to cafes, shops, and restaurants in Ketchum and short drive to the mountain. Hope to visit again!

We stayed a week and the place was wonderful. It was fully renovated and impeccably clean. The location was perfect for us in that we were there for a wedding and were close to the hotel where most of our friends and family stayed and also walking distance to town center and near Bald Mountain. It was a great experience.

We got married skiing 15+ years ago and have planned ski trips with groups ever since. We had 5 Adults and this was perfect. Great views of River Run, walk to everything in town, great details, amenities and well stocked kitchen. Notes were thorough on how to utilize everything (rarity). It's a cozy condo, can't really fit more than 2 in the kitchen at a time but we loved it. We had some small hiccups but the Owner & Property Manager were very accommodating and got back to us right away. Had to do with snow....18" overbite on day 1...which was the best day of skiing on the whole trip so definitely not complaining. Would definitely VRBO this unit again!! Hope to be back soon :)

What a fantastic stay in a wonderful condo. Everything about Sun Valley was truly special including the stay in this condo. It is perfectly located for easy access to the slopes and the town. I highly recommend a stay here.
4.7
Well decorated but dimly lit. Great location to town, but a bit to far to walk to slopes (with gear). Wrap around balcony, but given specific instructions not to use the balcony in the winter. Nice fireplace, but told not to use ( and when operational it required extra $35 cleaning fee and bring your own fire wood). Beautiful wood floors that were very creaky. Rooms are cute but small (can’t stand up in upstairs shower). Carpet runners warmed the place up, but downstairs bathroom carpet with bleach stains. VRBO directions say East River and owner directions say West. Info says sleeps 6, but instructions from owner said the top bunk was “broken.”
That said, I would stay again, but first, I would look for other options.

Condominium is part of a small 2 building group that needs maintenance outside. However, once inside, the owner has done a wonderful job decorating and making it comfortable and well-equipped.

The pictures are accurate: this is a clean, quiet, beautiful, well appointed rental!
The wrap-around deck among the trees was a favorite place to relax.
We will be coming back!

This well located condo is very well supplied and clean. It is probably best for a couple or small family because it is small and only has one comfortable shower. The second shower has a very low ceiling and not comfortable for adults (we are a tall family). Despite the tiny shower and cozy quarters, we loved it and would welcome another chance to stay there.

This worked out well for us and it was handy to be able to walk into town. The living area is very nice and the kitchen was generally well-equipped, though a coffee-maker would have been useful. The two downstairs bedrooms are adequate, but the bunk beds are a tight fit for anyone over 6' tall. Very hot during our stay and some fans for the bedrooms would have been much appreciated as they are not well-ventilated. In all, however, a most pleasant stay.

Great location. Charming condo.
Thanks for an easy stay. The boys loved it.

Relaxing vacation rental
We really enjoyed our stay. Check in was easy. The condo was a bit more lived in than I was expecting, but in a delightful well kept home kind of way. Location can’t be beat.

Wonderful!
We had a lovely experience at this property! It is spotless, well-decorated, and the location can’t be beat. Communication was excellent. We did find the master a bit warm for sleeping but bought a fan and the problem was quickly solved. And we left it for the next guest. Cannot wait to return!

We had a wonderful week in the Ketchum area. The property was clean and cozy, great location for walking downtown and to River Run. The kitchen is well equipped. The condo was a great size for our group of five. The ski/gear storage locker was nice to have.

Alpine Chalet in the heart of Ketchum/Sun Valley
It would be tough to find a more charming 3 bedroom apartment in this perfect location in Sun Valley: it is a minute’s walk to restaurants and shopping and a comfortable walk on the Wood River Trail (or a brief free shuttle) to the River Run lifts. At night you can sit by the fire and see the lights of the groomers on baldy. The owner, Leslie, was so kind and made us feel at home for our holiday stay. The property manager, Regina, is phenomenal and can make anything happen! We stayed with our family of five, including 3 twenty-something’s and found we had ample space and everything we needed. The master suite being upstairs provides excellent privacy. Would stay again in a heartbeat! What others have said about the slightly worn exterior of the building is true. But the condo is amazingly nestled in the trees for a downtown location, and we came to view the spotless modern condos nearby as soulless compared to our cozy alpine chalet!

Fabulous location in Ketchum
Our family of five (2 adults and 3 children 9 and under) had a fabulous stay in River Run. We loved the location. It was so easy to walk to restaurants and shopping. The condo had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. My only 4 star was because there was a picture of the dollhouse in the pink and white bedroom. My 7 year old twin girls had seen the picture and could not wait to stay in the room with the pink and white stripes and play with the doll house. The doll house was covered with a sheet and a note that said to please not touch it. I completely understand and I'm sure it is a family treasure, but maybe it should not be in the picture so there is no expectation. Otherwise everything was great, and I would highly recommend River Run. Leslie was great to rent from, and she communicated every step of the way. Thanks for a great family vacation.

Fantastic location edge of town and close to Baldy
We loved our stay at Leslie's European Alpine chalet. We are a family of 4 with teenage boys, so it was great to have our own private master suite upstairs with bathroom. Bed was super comfortable. There are 2 bedrooms downstairs so each boy had his own room. The condo was well cared for and completely updated with a Euro ski chalet feel. There is a cozy wood fireplace in the family/TV room right off the kitchen, and heated storage downstairs for skis and boots as well as parking. Most importantly, the place is on the edge of town (two blocks to restaurants/shops) so quiet but very convenient. It is a short walk to nordic trails and a short shuttle to Baldi that picks up about a block away. We will definitely stay again!

Our recent stay during ski season
The very attractive Knutson chalet perfectly fit our needs, as it is in walking distance of everything in town and parking was not a problem. The property manager was delightful and immediately responsive to all of our questions. The condo was clean, tidy, well-organized, compact - yet well-equipped, tastefully decorated, and cozy. We will look forward to our next visit!

Wonderful
Our visit to Leslie’s place over the holidays could not have been any better. Her place is clean and decorated as beautifully as her pictures show. Her local property manager was so welcoming and so helpful with many local tips on things to do. The location was fantastic and we could walk everywhere. We will definitely go back. Steve

A gem of a Alpine Chalet in Ketchum
We stayed in the apartment in four - two adults and two children - and everyone was over the moon. This property's location cannot be beat. You are a 5 minute walk to downtown Ketchum and or a 5 minute bus or car ride to River Run which means that if you don't want to you don't need to hire a car. The owner Leslie was very responsive and helpful and her property is just as beautifully decorated as you see in her photos. It is also clean, quiet and bright, like living in a tree house with the matured trees that you see from the living room. Leslie's property manager Mary is a gem as she is a long time local with tips on everything from hiking to eating. We would definitely stay here again.

My Bliss in Ketchum, Idaho
I love visiting Ketchum and this condo/home is so conveniently located to the best restaurants, shopping and of course, ice cream! But besides the stellar location, this condo is beautifully appointed, lovely to spend time in, comfortable and cozy. I look forward to breakfast in the light and bright dining area, reading in the afternoon light that fills the living space, and cocktails by the cozy fire in the evening. Beautiful trees surround. It has all you need for a spectacular summer or winter getaway. I cannot wait to book again!

Overstated description
This property is not a home or Ski Chalet, but a second floor condo in an older complex. The description and photos do not accurately reflect the property. It is not "right in downtown", but on the outskirts. The downstairs bathroom had not heat. The master bathroom does not have a fullsized shower so no heat was a problem. A request for a refund pased the min stay, as departed early, was denied. It is not a place to stay for a week. The price point inferred luxury finish and spaces, which this unit in a condo was not.
Mary the property manager was a delight.

Perfect in-town location
Great location to walk to everything in town, and the mountains. We planned to rent a car and never did! We loved the charming condo -- it's so well kept, clean and comfortable, and quiet.

little alpine retreat in the heart of ketchum
we truly had a wonderful time at the little "chalet". mary, the property manager met us upon our arrival. she could not have been more welcoming.
the place was decorated with so much charm. we were very comfortable at 4 people. the location was great. a short walk into the town. parking was a breeze.
leslie, the property owner is lovely. the only thing i will say is that if you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is a little small. we hope to be back some time in the summer.

Charming Getaway
I loved staying in your charming condo in Sun Valley. It was beautifully appointed and perfectly situated near all the great shops and restaurants in downtown Ketchum. It was wonderful to return after an active day in the cold weather to such a cozy and warm place.

Perfect summer vacation
My family and I stayed again in this charming 3-2 unit in Ketchum, ID this summer. We love the amenities that this home provides. It is very comfortable and quiet. And the location is so central to everything. We never used our car. We would stay here again and highly recommend this VRBO.

Lovely condo in Ketchum!
We had a wonderful stay here! The condo was very clean, cozy and a great home base to walk around Ketchum. Leslie was very responsive and helpful leading up to our stay and and Mary was so helpful upon our arrival and made us feel very welcome - and even helped carry our bags! She was in contact with us during our stay with tips and would definitely helped us out further if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return. I recommend Bigwood Bread in downtown Ketchum - great breakfast and chocolate chip cookies - we walked there from the condo a few mornings!
