Beautiful fully outfitted cabin

We had the best time at the cabin - a great jump off to alpine, Nordic, snowshoeing, hot springs and the rest Sun Valley has to offer. Thank you for hosting and offering as pet-friendly!

Stayed for five nights with my dog and husband. Cozy, quiet and private. Property has “the best” of everything- plush towels, three options for making coffee, all the cooking supplies you could want, wood ready for the stove, and dog dishes!

Great place

Spouse and I took our first 2 week vacation in years and could not have found a better place to stay. While "small", it was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. Great place to return to after snowshoeing or great place to just sit and read a book. Would definitely stay here again, and in a different season.

A retreat in the woods

The Emerald Gem is a sweet cottage in a quiet location. It is meticulously maintained and warmly appointed. It has great access to Warm Springs Creek for anyone interested in fishing. The owners are considerate and responsive. We hope to be back soon!

Great location just 15 minutes out of Ketchum. House had all the comforts and beds very comfortable. Books, darts, games, pet bowls, outdoor seating and several firepits. Very relaxing which is exactly what we were looking for. Never found the land line phone but wifi worked great.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.

Perfect Secluded get away close to adventure

This place was fantastic. The perfect combination of rustic seclusion with nice creature comforts. All appliances, furniture, kitchen supplies, etc were all top notch. Service or having fires set and ready to go was great.Exceeded our expectations.One piece of advice for other travelers - you drive down about 3 miles of dirt road to reach cabin. It is well maintained but there are many potholes and therefore I would encourage you to arrive before dark. We arrived after dark on our first night and got surprised by a few of them!We saw a heard of Elk each day which was very cool. Again, highly recommend this property.

Idyllic

Simply a perfect mountain retreat. Twenty minute drive out of Ketchum and you really get away from it all. The cabin is amazing and extremely well laid out. The beds are very comfortable—I slept incredibly well!! I especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which is important when you’re up in in the mountains. The cabin was warm and cozy and that’s even before you light the wood stove. Truly a great great place and I’d happily stay again.

Peaceful Get Away

Amazing cabin tucked away in a beautiful canyon. Big trees surround the cabin so it has amazing shade, and keeps the cabin so cool. Its in a peaceful neighborhood and you can have the windows open and just hear the river running and the cool mountain air coming in. There are lots of hikes, fishing, places to eat, and beautiful scenery to explore. This is an amazing place to stay and you are close to a lot of different places. They have fun activities to do at the cabin as well they had 2 bikes and we enjoyed going on rides!

Perfect Winter Getaway

My husband, two dogs and I came to Ketchum for a 5 day (4 night) weekend to cross country ski. This cabin was the perfect base camp. It is quiet and peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful and the cabin was the perfect size for us. It has a rustic feel but has all the amenities and luxuries (hot shower, kitchen to cook dinner and a wonderfully comfortable bed) that you could want. I love that this is dog friendly - being able to bring our dogs enhanced our experience immensely. One of our favorite parts was making a fire every night and listening to the crackle as we unwound on the couch. Highly recommend this place and hope to come again!

a gem in the woods

spent 9 delightful nights in a rustic cabin. very comfortable, cozy and spacious for 2 people. was not lacking for anything. we would either bike or hike for several hours (not from there) and come back and hang out and relax. never went out for a meal as didn't feel like driving 18-20 minutes back to town. would definitely stay again. also, the owner's were quick to respond to any questions if I had any.
