Ketchum Mountain Retreat: Central Location!
Ketchum Mountain Retreat: Central Location!"Condo was comfortably furnished and well equipped for a pleasant stay. Location just north of downtown is excellent. The complex is undergoing a big construction project which was a little disruptive. The complex is shockingly dark at night, and the unit did not have an outside light, which I did not like. Contact person was very helpful. On the whole I recommend this property, but bring a flashlight!"

Only downsides were the size of the master shower (I'm a big guy) and the induction range top which was a bit of a pain. But I would rent this unit every time I come to Sun Valley."
