"The hosts could not have been more accommodating for our Men's retreat. They bent over backwards to accommodate all of our needs. Personally checked us in and showed us the ropes. The Ketchum Inn is perfect for larger groups and between all of our planned activities, sitting out by the pond was heavenly. Large space but very comfortable. Added benefit is getting access to pickle ball and tennis courts as well as the pools. We cooked some dinners and breakfast each morning out on the grill which made it feel like home. Not to be missed when visiting Sun Valley for an upscale home away from home!"

"The condo is very nice. We loved the property as well. The only drawback was the fan in the loft. It is noisy but is needed to stay cool. The basement twin beds seemed to be possibly temporary. The beds are on wheels and if you put any weight on the end of the bed, you will flip the bed over. Almost fell off the bed."
