About this apartment rental
So cozy, you could fall in love with yourself. Great location. Great vibe. Private Hot Tub on upper deck. Waterbed. Apple TV. Surround sound. Groovy WiFi. Desks in both bedrooms to accommodate remote workers. Games. Walk to town, free shuttle to skiing.
Please check in with me to see about availability - .... sorry, there is a 31 day minimum stay (but also enjoy 1/3 off the total price! with that)
Escape to Sun Valley and this soul pad retreat with character. Nestled away near a park so it's quiet (birds sing even in the winter!), yet walking distance to town. Beautiful (relatively) new maple hardwood floors, granite counter tops, accented with art and treasures from over 20 years of globetrotting.
The Soul Pad is going to take a bit of a break from short term rentals in the future. We will, however, entertain stays longer than 31 days, or for the entire ski season. Please inquire and let's start a chat. Additional discounts for stays 4 months or more. Now available for booking throughout 2024.
There is nothing better than your own private hot tub on the upper deck, right off the master bedroom. Your white robes are waiting. You can see the milky way and the Sun Valley firework shows from the hot tub. When was the last time you slept in a waterbed? This ain't your college waterbed, though, as this has waveless baffles and a support floatation mattress on top, and soft bamboo sheets. Warm and snuggly in the winter, and so comfortable, you won't be able to get out in the morning.
Perhaps, though, for a hot tub and morning coffee? There is grass cloth on the ceiling to give the feeling of being in a tropical jungle treehouse. Watch the snow fall on the trees without getting out of bed. Trees by slider window create privacy screen. New additions: an electric fireplace above the bed, and a bluetooth speaker lamp.
The downstairs bedroom has a private patio for a snow entry, and covered gear and bike storage if you like. Washer dryer.
Long couch is great for napping. Coffee table is on wheels, so you can easily move and do yoga by the fire. Walk to the free shuttle ( 2/3 min) that will whisk you right to the bottom of Warm Springs lift. The walk to the bus near the condo is way less than the walk from the River Run parking lot to the River Run lifts!
I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do.
Sorry, no pets. There has been so much damage from "well behaved pets", that I can no longer absorb all the damage, and can't handle the stress of worry with the new leather furniture.
There is strict cancellation policy. This is not a hotel with multiple rooms. If you book it, it's blocked off on the calendar, and thus I'm turning multiple people away. Thanks for understanding. If there is a chance that you might have to cancel, then it's best not to block it out on the calendar, because then I'm left high and dry.
No parties. No sublets. No overnight visitors without mention during booking. Thank you.

This was our second month long stay in Sun Valley and it was fantastic. The host was super and very responsive. Her lovely condo was extremely clean and had everything we could possibly want. Luxury towels, excellent kitchen supplies and you can’t beat the location. Walking distance to the bus. The best part—a hot tub right outside your bedroom door. Highly recommend

Our stay was fabulous. The condo is well-appointed, quiet, unique, and in a great location for walking to downtown. Communication with Thia was excellent. We were able to work remotely, and then reach spectacular trails in under half an hour. The hiking to remote alpine lakes was some of the best of our lives. Hard to beat the Ketchum lifestyle in the summer!

The soul pad is a cumulation of beautiful travel artifacts and tells the story of Thea’s life. This is not your normal boring VRBO. It is cozy, comfortable and has everything you may need (and more). This was our first experience sleeping on a water bed… and don’t know if we’d do that again, but everything else was amazing! Thank you Thea for being flexible and being very easy to communicate with!!

The last night, one of our travel buddies said that Thia's place was the nicest place they'd rented during work travel. I had thought the same thing, so I scrolled through all my AirB history. Concur! Thia's collections, all her thoughtful extras, the home community and location are superb. We were greeting by energetic and inspiring Thia, who beyond all the lovely things posted, graced the home with excellent fresh local K&K coffee, photo books detailing her amazing travels, a perky gerber daisy, magnetic word games and others, a filled window bird feeder for entertainment while lounging on the sofa, ridiculously cozy fuzzy pillow shams that also served as pet substitutes--so many treats and so much help! Thanks, Thia!!!!!!!

The Soul Pad is right in the heart of everything! We hardly ever drove: walked and took the (free) bus service. Thia is a wonderful person and a wonderful host. We enjoyed our stay!

Thia is such a generous host! Left us all the ingredients for cookie baking - from a local mix to the egg and butter. So thoughtful. Her home is like a curated museum full of beautiful art and items from around the world.
The location was perfect - walking distance to good food, river, running paths.
The hot tub was a great amenity and the waterbed was awesome. The kitchen is so well stocked - all the spices and pans, oil, you need to cook.
I’d highly recommend the stay if you need something in Ketchum.

Zen Retreat
The soul pad was awesome! Thia was an amazing host and so fast at responding if we needed anything. It felt like our own private zen retreat. Thia has made the soul pad feel like a home away from home. It is so cozy and relaxing and with all her special touches, you really don't need to do anything except enjoy and relax. The water bed upstairs was so comfortable. The upstairs master felt like our own private retreat. Thia has a great welcome packet with tons of information on the town.
The location is perfect as it's just a short walk into town to shops and restaurants and not far at all from the lifts. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Sun Valley. Highly recommend. Thank you, Thia!

The space worked perfectly for our family of four. The hot tub was a huge perk. Can’t beat the location - access to park, town, Y, and mountain. Thia was an excellent host - lots of thoughtful touches like robes and cozy bedding. She was always available and easy to communicate with. We’d love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Overall a Nice Pad
We were in Ketchum to alpine and cross country ski and did so each of our four days in town. The Soul Pad is quite cozy. It is well adorned and mostly up to date, although a good detailed dusting would help matters. We weren't too fond of the water bed, as it takes some tactical effort to get out of and our aging backs rebelled some. Overall though we had a very comfortable stay. The private hot tub made a difference!

Convenient, Accomodating and Homey
We had a great visit. The place was cozy and comfortable. Great location with quick access to everything both in town and out to recreate. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Our week at the Soul Pad was delightful, comfortable and uniquely relaxing. The thoughtful details in the decorating made our stay an exploration in world travel, with my young daughters fascinated by the many cool items Thia has collected in her globe trotting. The quality of bedding and towels kept us truly comfortable. Sleeping in a waterbed and having an en suite private outdoor Jacuzzi available at any moment made the stay feel like a true get away - I especially appreciated evening star gazing from the Jacuzzi. The home is well located for accessing the many activities on offer, while also being tucked into a quiet and green part of town. A wonderful place to stay when visiting Sun Valley/Ketchum!

Comfortable and great location.
The Soul Pad was exactly what we were hoping for, comfortable and a great location in a quiet neighborhood. There was a nice spot to relax outside after a day of cycling and a covered patio to store the bikes.
Thia could not have been more accommodating , quick to reply and the special touches to welcome us...flowers on the table, coffee and even a special ipa. We would not hesitate to stay at the Soul Pad again. Thank you Thia!

We had a great time staying at the Soul Pad. Our hostess was responsive, accommodating, informative, and gracious. The kitchen is well appointed so we were able to easily cook the meals or go out as we chose. Loved the Jacuzzi after skiing!

Very cool condo ...
This is a fun, funky condo. Lots of art, lots of culture and abundant character. I was in town for a MTB race and it was the perfect base. Close to downtown, close to the mountains, very close if you're there to ski. I highly recommend it for anyone that is looking for a something out of the ordinary. This is not a bland, cookie cutter condo. If you want the standard boring IKEA furniture populated condo and sameness as your neighbors then you might want to look else where. If you want an excellent host, a cool place to relax and chill this is the place.

Great location with all the amenities
Thia, Thank you for opening your Sole Pad to us. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyed walking to town or hoping on the bus to ski warm springs. Thank you for the hospitality, can't wait to get back there for the summer fun.

Perfect Vacation
Spent a week at the soul pad with my girlfriend... soon to be wife and my best friend. We had a great time relaxing, skiing, and cooking for a week which was exactly what we needed. My best friend and I love to cook so having the full kitchen and all the necessary gadgets and utensils was a huge plus. Relaxed nightly in the hot tub after a day of skiing and location is in a very convenient spot. Super close to downtown and right in the middle of all the skiing access. The condo had every amenity that we could possibly need, including towels specifically for the hot spring that is just a few miles down the road; we took advantage of that. Thia was very helpful in recommending places to visit during our stay and if I am ever in the Sun Valley area again I would definitely stay at her condo again.

We had a blast and the condo was like a home away from home. Close to skiing, the town and the YMCA which our 10 year old loved for swimming. Thia was very helpful and even surprised us with a welcome gift.

Cozy Condo
My husband and I totally enjoyed staying at Thia's place. It is neat and clean and just as advertised. We were a bit concerned that the water bed might not work for us, but as it turned out we slept great and our 50 something backs were happy. Also was great to have the hot tub right off the master BR. We primarily came to Ketchum to mountain bike ride. We were delighted to find that we could ride right from the condo on numerous paths and also access the paved trail.
Thia was helpful in giving us restaurant info and checking to see that all was well with our stay. We ate in the condo for many meals, and we found the kitchen to be well stocked. We used the second bedroom for storing gear and the downstairs enclosed patio worked great to store our bikes at night. The parking was right by the condo back door so it was easy to load bikes when we wanted to go to the terrific trails at Galena Lodge.
We had a great stay here, and we are looking forward to booking again next fall.

Location, Comfort, Value!
Thia's soul pad was perfect for our recent ski vacation to Sun Valley. Best of all it snowed every day we were there and the powder was amazing. The condo location was close to all three mountain access points and also within easy walking distance to town. The condo itself is very cozy and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was great after skiing. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking and the living area was very inviting with its pellet stove. Great porches and plant hooks to dry out wet ski gear Thia was a great host too, providing information and suggestions whenever we asked. The soul pad made for a memorable family ski vacation.

Warm and charming town home in great location
Spent four days at the Soul Pad this fall with my wife and young daughter. We were looking for a location close to town so that we could walk to restaurants and stores in the evening after mountain biking and hiking. The Soul Pad was perfect for this purpose and had a park and playground just around the corner which our daughter loved. Very clean and well taken care of town home with a lot of personality. Lisa went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home while staying there. Very easy to get out of town as well if you are heading north into the Sawtooth Recreational Area and close to ski slopes as well if you come in the winter.

My family and I loved this wonderfully funky and artistic place and would happily return. If I could figure out how, I'd move to town in an instant. Great sights, dining and outdoor activities. To no fault of the owner, our stay was unfortunately interrupted by the smoke from this summer's-end wildfires. Thia was both helpful and fair with regard to our lost time.

My wife and I just left and I'm heartbroken to be home. First of all, Thia is a wonderful host. It's like staying at your friends house with hotel quality amenities. The place is very clean, comfortable and in a great location. You can walk to everything in Ketchum including Grumpy's, Lefty's, Perry's for breakfast, the River Run Ski lift, The wood river trails are literally right out the entrance to the street. And there is so much to do in the area and its all amazing. Great hikes, mountain biking, fishing, PARA-Gliding (a must do) and all of this during the summer. The ski slopes are literally right out the back door (5 min walk to River Run). I would highly recommend renting this place. Great experience.

My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay in the Soul Pad back in February and found the condo to be ornately decorated and very clean. The owner sees to every little detail, and even goes the extra mile by leaving a nice welcome gift of wine and chocolate. The central location is nice; very close to the Warm Springs lifts and downtown. The hot tub on the second floor balcony is a wonderful way to recover after a long day of winter activities. To avoid the crowds on Baldy we spent both days up a Galena Lodge snowshoeing and trying our hand at classic Nordic. In the evenings, after a big dinner at The Pioneer, it was nice to escape back to the Soul Pad to just sit near the hearty pellet stove, listen to some music and watch the lava lamps.
The Soul Pad comes highly recommended; we look forward to our next stay there!

My hubby and I so enjoyed the condo. Very comfortable, cool vibe, perfect walk to stretch the legs for groceries, a movie in town, to catch the shuttle for a lift to the lifts or just for fun! Clean, comfy, fun, great music selection, cool art, and superb landlord. Not only would I suggest this rental to others - we will be back!
