About this property

West Ketchum Sun Valley French Cottage - 5 Blocks to Main Street

Welcome to West Ketchum.

Our French chateau inspired cottage is close to everything and far from nothing.

Imagine being walking distance to downtown Ketchum yet peacefully removed from the bustle and noise of Main street...all in the same spot.

Step inside our Sun Valley cottage to find sandstone floors, fine hardwood details and hand plastered walls throughout the custom handmade 2 structure property.

The large backyard and garden are an oasis of foliage in the Summer and a stunning backdrop of snow covered aspen trees come Winter time. Bald mountain hovers directly behind the property.

Every corner will surprise you with quality, detail, fit and finish.

The large living room has two couches and contains an HDTV gathering area, wood fireplace and wet bar that allows everyone to spend time together and relax.

The Bose sound system pumps out rich musical backdrops while the dramatic above cabinetry lighting sets the mood for a sensational evening.

Everyone stays in the mix with kitchen, dining and living room all connected and opening directly onto the expansive back patio and side BBQ and hot tub area.

Whether enjoying the aroma of wild thyme over a glass of wine on the slate patio or a cool cocktail in the hot tub with snow falling, the seasons will delight you at our one of a kind home.

Nothing else in Sun Valley is like it!

Fabulous home in Ketchum

Our family loved staying in your house. We loved the feeling of being in a French countryside home the location was ideal. We had plenty of room and loved all of the amenities. Our host was very attentive, and appreciated all of his help with anything that came up.

sun valley french cottage

Wonderful house plus garage apartment which was well suited for our family get together and offered a place for parents of 1 year old twins a quiet place for naps, etc. Owner was very responsive to communications and check in was easy with complete guest instructions. Very nicely furnished house and beautiful yard in a quiet neighborhood of Ketchum. It is a very short walk to public tennis/pickleball courts and downtown Ketchum is easily walkable.

Perfect French Country House in West Ketchum

I hesitate to express my full opinion about this property, because I don’t want to overdrive the demand for a place that I’d rather have all to myself. The grounds and the interiors of this property are ideal in every way for a summer getaway to Ketchum…our third consecutive summer and third property here over those years, and this one was the clear best of the lot. Highly recommend!

Repeat rental!!!

This was our second time renting this property in six months & has become our favorite rental in Ketchum. This time we brought our adult children & everyone enjoyed the property. Comfy beds, great dining table for family meals & game nights and the hot tub (looks brand new) was a huge hit after long days of skiing. The house stayed toasty warm despite subzero temps outside & piles of snow! This is the quietest neighborhood in West Ketchum but close enough to walk to town for coffee or groceries. Richard is a gracious host who goes above & beyond!

About the host

Hosted by Richard Lomas

Originally purchased in 1997, our family continues to enjoy visiting the Wood River Valley for holidays, get together, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking and more. We're very excited to be able to share our wonderfully unique home with visitors!

Why they chose this property

Our family has been visiting Sun Valley since the 1960's as there's just nothing else like it. The combination of small town charm along with world class amenities and superb skiing make Ketchum & Sun Valley unbeatable!

In terms of our property in particular...Simply put, there's nothing else like our house in the Ketchum area. It's a made by hand French styled chateau/cottage with tremendous craftsmanship throughout. Beautiful natural woods & stones adorn the inside and out.

What makes this property unique

Being so close to town as well as having 2 structures on the property allows all visitors to enjoy time together as well as maintaining multiple daily itineraries. People can walk to and from town and the adjacent outdoor activities all throughout the day as they see fit.

Additionally, our home in particular is unique with its French inspiration and superb level of hand craftsmanship.

West Ketchum truly is the best of both worlds. We have full outdoor enjoyment areas yet are walking distance to Main Street. It's a real treat!
