About this property

Hot Tub Time Machine! - The Soul Pad of Sun Valley

So cozy, you could fall in love with yourself. Great location. Great vibe. Private Hot Tub on upper deck. Waterbed. Apple TV. Surround sound. Groovy WiFi. Desks in both bedrooms to accommodate remote workers. Games. Walk to town, free shuttle to skiing.
Please check in with me to see about availability - .... sorry, there is a 31 day minimum stay (but also enjoy 1/3 off the total price! with that)

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 (relatively) new maple hardwood floors, granite counter tops, accented with art and treasures from over 20 years of globetrotting.

The Soul Pad is going to take a bit of a break from short term rentals in the future. We will, however, entertain stays longer than 31 days, or for the entire ski season. Please inquire and let's start a chat. Additional discounts for stays 4 months or more. Now available for booking throughout 2024.

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 from the hot tub. 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 soft bamboo sheets. Warm and snuggly in the winter, and so comfortable, you won't be able to get out in the morning.

Perhaps, though, for a hot tub and morning coffee? 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. Trees by slider window create privacy screen. New additions: an electric fireplace above the bed, and a bluetooth speaker lamp.

The downstairs bedroom has a private patio for a snow entry, and covered gear and bike storage if you like. Washer dryer.

Long couch is great for napping. Coffee table is on wheels, so you can easily move and do yoga by the fire. Walk to the free shuttle ( 2/3 min) that will whisk you right to the bottom of Warm Springs lift. The walk to the bus near the condo is way less than the walk from the River Run parking lot to the River Run lifts!

I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do.

Sorry, no pets. There has been so much damage from "well behaved pets", that I can no longer absorb all the damage, and can't handle the stress of worry with the new leather furniture.

There is strict cancellation policy. This is not a hotel with multiple rooms. If you book it, it's blocked off on the calendar, and thus I'm turning multiple people away. Thanks for understanding. If there is a chance that you might have to cancel, then it's best not to block it out on the calendar, because then I'm left high and dry.

No parties. No sublets. No overnight visitors without mention during booking. Thank you.

Fantastic!
This was our second month long stay in Sun Valley and it was fantastic. The host was super and very responsive. Her lovely condo was extremely clean and had everything we could possibly want. Luxury towels, excellent kitchen supplies and you can’t beat the location. Walking distance to the bus. The best part—a hot tub right outside your bedroom door. Highly recommend

An idyllic five week stay
Our stay was fabulous. The condo is well-appointed, quiet, unique, and in a great location for walking to downtown. Communication with Thia was excellent. We were able to work remotely, and then reach spectacular trails in under half an hour. The hiking to remote alpine lakes was some of the best of our lives. Hard to beat the Ketchum lifestyle in the summer!

True to its name
The soul pad is a cumulation of beautiful travel artifacts and tells the story of Thea’s life. This is not your normal boring VRBO. It is cozy, comfortable and has everything you may need (and more). This was our first experience sleeping on a water bed… and don’t know if we’d do that again, but everything else was amazing! Thank you Thea for being flexible and being very easy to communicate with!!

Winner out of 100+ home rentals!
The last night, one of our travel buddies said that Thia's place was the nicest place they'd rented during work travel. I had thought the same thing, so I scrolled through all my AirB history. Concur! Thia's collections, all her thoughtful extras, the home community and location are superb. We were greeting by energetic and inspiring Thia, who beyond all the lovely things posted, graced the home with excellent fresh local K&K coffee, photo books detailing her amazing travels, a perky gerber daisy, magnetic word games and others, a filled window bird feeder for entertainment while lounging on the sofa, ridiculously cozy fuzzy pillow shams that also served as pet substitutes--so many treats and so much help! Thanks, Thia!!!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Thia

Host profile image
I grew up in California, but I fell in love with Ketchum 20 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 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 Gallery. I also shoot weddings, kids, and family portraits. I love hot springs and hot tubs (who doesn't?), live music, and laughing with friends.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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 newish 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 100% 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 super duper internet. Apple TV. Phone charging station. 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.
