This 4-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home packs serious amenities into a warm, Western-styled space. Charming mountain character, custom woodwork, and thoughtful amentites come together to create a masterclass in Ketchum living. Two king ensuites, a queen, and a four-twin bunk room sleep 8 comfortably, with a private sauna and hot tub waiting at the end of every day.
Some homes in Ketchum look the part. This one feels it. Abode at Frenchmans sits midway between River Run and Warm Springs lifts on Baldy, wrapped in the kind of warm, rustic character that only comes from real craftsmanship like custom woodwork, stone floors, and details that earn a second look around every corner. Two king ensuites, a queen, and a four-twin bunk room sleep 8 across two levels, while the private sauna and hot tub out back makes sure your recovery is as good as the skiing.
Push open the custom plank door and discover an entry that gives you the first hint of what this home is about, with stone floors, heavy plank doors, and a staircase with the kind of craftsmanship you stop to notice. Upstairs, the living room gathers the group naturally around a wood-burning fireplace, with the kitchen and dining area close at hand for easy meals and even easier conversation.
Downstairs, the three lower level bedrooms each have their own personality, anchored by a king ensuite that opens directly onto the back deck providing easy access to the private hot tub and sauna. The queen room is a quiet, comfortable retreat with a full bath just across the hall. The bunk room rounds out the lower level with four custom twin bunks, leather armchairs, and a TV, the kind of room that makes kids claim their spot the moment they walk in.
The back deck is where the day ends, with a private sauna and hot tub that make après feel like a well-earned reward. Ketchum’s Main Street is close enough to walk for dinner, a drink, or a slow morning coffee before the lifts open. Head the other direction and you are five minutes from river access on the Big Wood, where barbless catch and release fishing is as good a reason as any to spend a morning outside. The free Mountain Rides bus connects the home to both Warm Springs and River Run lodges, making car-free ski days entirely possible.

About the area
Ketchum, Idaho, is a gem nestled in the Wood River Valley, offering a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, arts, and culture, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking both excitement and relaxation. Known primarily as a gateway to the renowned Sun Valley ski resort, Ketchum is a year-round haven for outdoor enthusiasts.
In the winter, the area becomes a snowy wonderland, with Bald Mountain providing world-class skiing and snowboarding opportunities. The mountain's consistent pitch, lack of lift lines, and diverse terrain make it a favorite among both beginners and seasoned professionals. Cross-country skiers and snowshoers can explore the extensive trail networks of the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center.
As the snow melts, Ketchum reveals its lush summer landscape, perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing. Trails like the Adam's Gulch Loop and the Pioneer Cabin Trail offer breathtaking views and the chance to spot local wildlife. The surrounding rivers, teeming with trout, are a fly fisherman's dream, while the Sawtooth National Recreation Area provides endless opportunities for exploration.
Ketchum's cultural scene is vibrant and surprisingly robust for a town of its size. The Sun Valley Center for the Arts hosts a variety of events, including concerts, lectures, and exhibitions. The town's commitment to the arts is also evident in its numerous galleries and the annual Sun Valley Film Festival, which attracts filmmakers and enthusiasts from around the world.
The town's dining scene is equally impressive, with a range of options from cozy cafes to upscale restaurants, many of which focus on locally sourced ingredients. The region's rich agricultural heritage is celebrated at the Ketchum Farmers Market, where visitors can sample and purchase local produce, artisanal foods, and crafts.
Ketchum's history is deeply intertwined with the "American Shangri-La" mystique of Sun Valley, which has attracted celebrities and socialites since the 1930s. The area's storied past can be explored through its historical sites and museums, such as the Ernest Hemingway Memorial and the Sun Valley Museum of History.
For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the town's laid-back atmosphere is perfect for strolling through its picturesque streets, shopping in its boutiques, or simply enjoying a coffee while taking in the stunning mountain views.
