Red Elephant | 4BR - Fire Pit - River & Downtown
Nestled among mature aspens and cottonwoods in a quiet Hailey neighborhood, Red Elephant Retreat is a warm, character-filled cedar home with a personality of its own. Tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a river rock gas wood stove, and a gorgeous paver patio with string lights and a fire pit create a space you'll settle into immediately. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home puts you half a mile from downtown Hailey and 400 feet from the Big Wood River - your perfect Wood River Valley base camp, whatever your adventure.
Inside, the open-concept great room flows from a fully equipped kitchen, with new appliances and granite counters, through to the dining area and living room, where the sectional sofa and warm wood stove invite you to stay a while. The dining table seats six, with four bar stools at the counter for extra guests. Sliding doors open directly onto the patio, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Stream your favorites on the Roku TV, fire up the BBQ grill, or gather around the fire pit as the aspens rustle overhead. A hot tub is coming soon (September 2026), making this retreat even harder to leave.
4 Bedrooms – 3 Bathrooms – Sleeps 8 Guests
Red Elephant Retreat comfortably accommodates 8 guests in four bedrooms, all with hotel-style linens and Smart TVs. The main-level primary suite offers a queen bed, ceiling fan, a custom walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed spacious ensuite with a glass walk-in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with full beds and ceiling fans share a charming bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower combo. Downstairs, a cozy fourth bedroom with a full bed is perfect for kids, with an adjacent bathroom with a walk-in shower and stacked washer/dryer.
Like most homes in the valley, Red Elephant Retreat does not have AC - but the mature tree canopy keeps things naturally cool, and ceiling fans and bug screens on every window ensure comfortable evenings all summer long.
What's Nearby
Just 400 feet from your door, Heagle Park offers public pickleball courts, a playground, and direct access to the Big Wood River for summer fishing and swimming.
