Board's Sunset Ranch - Sawtooth National Forest

Welcome to Board's Sunset Ranch, a lovingly restored historic 1930s cabin that was once the original Lower Board Ranch homestead. Set on two private acres in the Sawtooth National Forest, this mountain retreat blends Sun Valley history with modern comfort. With open mountain views and peaceful surroundings, you'll feel worlds away, yet you're only 1.5 miles from the base area of Bald Mountain and 3.5 miles from downtown Ketchum.

Inside, the cabin is warm and welcoming with a spacious entry area to store boots and jackets, and a comfortable living room designed for gathering. Curl up by the gas woodstove, watch a movie on the Smart TV with YouTubeTV, or pick a favorite from the shelves of books provided for all ages. Large windows frame stunning views of Baldy and the surrounding peaks, creating a backdrop that's distinctly Sun Valley.

The fully equipped farmhouse-style kitchen is perfect for preparing meals together, featuring beautiful wooden countertops, plenty of prep space, and a dining table that seats six for shared meals or late-night board games. The back deck features a barbeque and a path to a small seating area, accessible only in the summer season.

3 Bedrooms – 2 Bathrooms – Sleeps 6 Guests

Board's Sunset Ranch comfortably sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. The primary suite on the main level features a king bed, Smart TV, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and large closet space. Upstairs, you'll find a second king bedroom and a guest room with two twin beds. The ceilings are low upstairs, adding to the cabin's rustic charm. While there's no central heat on this level, the heat rises from below and portable heaters keep the space warm and cozy throughout the winter months. A second bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a full washer/dryer are conveniently located downstairs for guests.

Stunning Sun Valley Setting

Step outside and enjoy the quiet privacy of your own two-acre retreat. The property is surrounded by peaceful pastures and mountain scenery, making it easy to unwind and reconnect with nature. In summer, hiking and biking trails wind through the nearby Sawtooth National Forest, and Penny Lake Pier is just up the road for fishing. In winter, you'll be only minutes from skiing and snowboarding on Baldy, snowshoeing trails, and endless alpine adventures, with all the dining, shopping, and culture of Ketchum just a short drive away.
