Photos and Description of the Ketchum vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4-5)

Escape to Sun Valley and this soul pad retreat with character. Nestled away near a park so it's quiet (birds sing even in the winter!), yet walking distance to town. Beautiful new maple hardwood floors, granite counter tops, accented with art and treasures from over 20 years of globetrotting.

There is nothing better than your own private hot tub on the upper deck, right off the master bedroom. Your white robes are waiting. You can see the milky way and the Sun Valley firework shows. When was the last time you slept in a waterbed? This ain't your college waterbed, though, as this has waveless baffles and a support floatation mattress on top, and Egyptian cotton 500 ct sheets. Warm and snuggly in the winter, and so comfortable, you won't be able to get out in the morning.

Ok, for a hot tub and morning coffee maybe? There is grass cloth on the ceiling to give the feeling of being in a tropical jungle treehouse. Watch the snow fall on the trees without getting out of bed.

The downstairs bedroom has a private patio for snow entry and covered gear storage if you like. I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do.

About Thia

I grew up in California, but I fell in love with Ketchum 18 years ago. Living in a place where there are more stars in the sky than city lights, and you can walk/bike everywhere feeds my soul. I live to snowboard and now ski in powder, and in between enjoy hiking, cross country skiing, paragliding, mountain biking, and rollerblading. I'm a world traveling artist/photographer, and have a photography studio/gallery in town where I show my personal work, called Photos Do Not Bend. I also shoot weddings, kids, and family portraits. I love hot springs and hot tubs (who doesn't?), live music, and laughing with friends.

Thia purchased this condo in 2003
Why Thia chose Ketchum

The biggest patch of wilderness right out the back door! So many things I can do without ever getting in a car..... mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking, rollerblading on the bike path, summer symphonies & jazz picnics, walk to town, and even close down the bars on a blue moon. Not too many places you can land a para-glider in your back yard. Ketchum has the most amazing sense of community, too. It just takes one person getting hurt, for the whole town to pull together and hold a concert/bake sale/auction to help. I've never seen anything like it.

What makes this condo unique

Enjoy your own private hot tub on the upper deck after skiing! (or maybe with a cup of coffee in the morning?) Great location! Walk to town, but right next door to the large park and the flagship YMCA. Even though it's a condo complex this is a very private unit. Great front yard for the kids to play in the snow, and a private patio on the lower floor for snow entry/gear storage if you like. Beautiful new hardwood floors, granite counter tops, sharp knives, fluffy towels, 600 ct cotton linens, and oversized down comforters. When was the last time you slept in a waterbed? This ain't no college waterbed, as this has waveless baffles and a support flotation mattress on top, with Egyptian cotton linens. Warm and snuggly in the winter - so comfy you won't be able to get out of bed. Ok, maybe for coffee in the hot tub 20 ft away. Plenty of closets, dressers, shelves and hooks for all your things. Hook your computer or ipod up to the surround sound, or go wireless and stream with my Aiport. Free internet and extended cable. My home has treasures from over 20 years of globetrotting - not your run-of-the-mill sun valley rental. I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do.

Relaxing Stay in Ketchum

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 23, 2011
  • Stayed: Feb 2011
My wife and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay in the Soul Pad back in February and found the condo to be ornately decorated and very clean. The owner sees to every little detail, and even goes the extra mile by leaving a nice welcome gift of wine and chocolate. The central location is nice; very close to the Warm Springs lifts and downtown. The hot tub on the second floor balcony is a wonderful way to recover after a long day of winter activities. To avoid the crowds on Baldy we spent both days up a Galena Lodge snowshoeing and trying our hand at classic Nordic. In the evenings, after a big dinner at The Pioneer, it was nice to escape back to the Soul Pad to just sit near the hearty pellet stove, listen to some music and watch the lava lamps.

The Soul Pad comes highly recommended; we look forward to our next stay there!

My hubby and I so enjoyed the condo. Very comfortable, cool vibe, perfect walk to stretch the legs for groceries, a movie in town, to catch the shuttle for a lift to the lifts or just for fun! Clean, comfy, fun, great music selection, cool art, and superb landlord. Not only would I suggest this rental to others - we will be back!

Owner's Response: Thanks Rachael and Michael! You are welcome in my home anytime! Thanks for leaving the place so clean and all the treats you left for me in the fridge. Go organics! Yum! Next time you come I'll score my friends' accoustic guitar again for you, too. Mountain biking through the wildflowers in the spring and summer!! Cheers, Thia xxoo

Perfect location for a fantastic vacation!

My husband and I recently stayed here and were very happy. The location can't be beat as it is a few blocks from downtown and a block from the most fabulous YMCA I have ever seen (climbing wall, giant pool with a slide along with the usual amenities and classes for a low fee guest pass). The condo was quiet, clean, and quaint. We enjoyed viewing Thia's photography and cultural acquisitions from around the world...it made me want to spend some time with her to hear about her travels!! The hot tub was a special treat! On top of all this, she had a little welcome packet upon our arrival featuring information about the area, a bottle of wine, and a bag of great coffee. She checked in on us to see if we needed anything. All in all, a perfect experience...we'll be back!!

Do not look any further for a place to stay. This was by far the best condo I have ever stayed in. I have been traveling out west for over 15 years to ski/snowboard at various mountains and have stayed in every kind of facility. My husband and two children (age 3 and 5) stayed here for 4 nights in March 2010. I immediately felt at home and was welcomed. Thia went above and beyond to make us feel at home (dining gift certificate, bottle of wine, coffee and organic creamer...etc...) We had everything we needed and more. The kids loved the place and it had so much more to offer than just a place to stay. The lightup globe was a huge hit along with the beautiful photographs (they tell amazing stories) and many fun artifacts. Also, the music selection and sound system is superb (upstairs and downstairs) The hot tub was perfect as was the cable and wifi access. Easy walk to main street and dining. Even our kids walked and loved the playground yards away. We wished we were there longer...
