It's so tastefully decorated as well. We absolutely loved this place. I did want to say that we arrived to the place and there was a sweet note and some goodies that we really appreciated. We can't wait to return and Suzanne is super responsive if you ever have any questions. Can't wait to return. ##### heather k. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam K. 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property is a true treasure. We have stayed in numerous short-term rentals in various states and countries, but none with the level of architectural detail or quality workmanship as this property. We have stayed in short-term rentals in the Ketchum / Sun Valley area many times and this property is our favorite by far. The hosts were very gracious and responsive and provided us with a generous welcoming package. The property is located in a quiet, wooded area offering privacy in a beautiful setting. We shall return!Bill, Pam, Chip & Sharon ##### Pam K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David W. 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had an incredible stay at the Bigwood River Retreat. Suzanne was a phenomenal communicator from the start, answering all of our questions and offering some great hiking, activity, and dining suggestions. Walking into the home was like stepping into an Architectural Digest article crossed with a Crate & Barrel / RH catalog... stunning, yet warm and cozy. On top of that, there was a thoughtful note and a wonderful basket of snacks and treats to make our stay even more special. We most enjoyed sitting outside on the back patio surrounded by the beautiful aspen trees. We also fly-fished in the stream every day after hiking, enjoying the cool water on our tired feet and legs. On our last evening, we looked out the front window to see a herd of about 20 elk, including some young ones, grazing in the front yard! We are already looking forward to our next visit and stay at Bigwood River Retreat! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49e550e0-93b3-4497-9dcc-a9732d2c0fce-1755143099244.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c9d4beea-5e82-4a10-8103-535b43589a51-1755143108021.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David W.
