| I stayed here with my three fishing buddies. We've been coming to Ketchum once a year for over 15 years....fishing the Big Wood, Silver Creek and the South Fork. Our time in Ketchum is special; we look forward to it every year. We were fortunate to find Bruce's condo on VRBO. We had a great stay. The condo is roomy, modern, well-appointed, clean, and very accessible. Everything was just as advertised. We pulled into the garage fairly late on our first night, and made ourselves at home. We'll be back next year. |

We spent 10 days in this splendid Ketchum townhome. The experience was so positive that I wanted to relay some of our experience to others who might be looking for just the right spot in Ketchum. First of all, the location was superb. Unless you want to be out in the mountains with lots of open space, THIS is where you want to be. Our stay was in summer, but I can see that what we experienced would be even more true of winter. Everything is right out the door, and in winter everything will include the brand new base-to-Roundhouse gondola. You can't stay in a quality place any closer to the lift base and gondola than this Townhome at River Run. In summer, with the incredible weather for which SV is famous, you will have no hesitation in walking to whatever - groceries, movies, restaurants, parades, concerts. Of course, you don't have to walk - this place has a double garage and there's also the free area bus that stops nearby. Before I leave the subject of location, consider also that the Bigwood River is virtually across the street, and I saw people taking good-sized fish right below the bridge to the lifts.
The other thing that makes this townhome so great is the quality of its construction. If anything, it's overbuilt according to details. The doors, for example, feel like they belong in one of those Sun Valley mega-mansions. All the surfaces are superb and make you feel rich. Then there's the layout. We were traveling with another couple. How many times have you wished that each of two couples could have a master suite of equal and excellent quality? This townhome not only has that, but the suites are so private that they are accessed by totally separate staircases from the great room! The great room itself is really really the right design. It has the living room/TV settup (with good seating) on one end, the kitchen (with very ample counterspace and storage plus counterseating) in the middle, and the dining area on the opposite end. Everything is open, everyone is together and able to help with dinner! Equipment and appliances are as good as we have at home, and eating in just feels like what you want to do.
Really, I can't imagine a better value than this townhome for an extended Ketchum stay. The owners are the managers. Their rates are super reasonable, I guess because they don't pay commissions to property managers, and they are caring local people who were there for us when we needed something as simple as some advice on dining. Dealing with VERY nice people makes a difference to us.
I can't recommend strongly enough that you talk to Bruce before checking on other, more anonymous sources for your lodging! |
