Great for a family get together.
We really enjoyed the property for a great family get-together. While the property is a few minutes further from Ketchum than I was thinking, it was actually just fine for getting back and forth. The property can accommodate lots of family members, with bunk beds for the kids. The kitchen/open area is a great spot to hang out. And the yard is especially great, with various activities available. We had a great time.

Wonderful summer vacation!
During summer 2021 my family and I spend two weeks in Warms Springs and the trip was everything we hoped for. This is truly a home, not just a rental property. The house is large, clean with tons of amenities - games, books, cooking supplies, extra linens. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful during our stay. The house is in a small neighborhood beyond downtown Ketchum. This was an ideal location for us, but be aware that downtown isn't within walking distance. We look forward to our next visit to Ketchum!

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was perfect for us. Spacious lot with very nice landscaping, close to the hot springs and very convenient to town while still feeling away from it all. The kids loved the trampoline and the basement game room. They also loved fishing on Penny Lake just a minute or so up the road. The kitchen was great for cooking big meals for our multi-gen crew, and there was enough space at the dining table for all of us. Thanks for a great stay!

The best VRBO ever
We had an incredible week at Board Ranch. The property is even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures suggest. This is a really special house. It’s beautifully decorated and yet super homey and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and we were happy cooking several meals there. The basement room is fantastic for kids- ping pong, foozball, and video games made for a perfect hang out area for our kids and their cousins, ages 9-21. The master bedroom is gorgeous and peaceful, and the huge closet and master bath were a treat. The living spaces are comfortable and connected enough to feel like you’re all together, but large and separate enough to allow everyone to spread out. The outdoor space is magical- tons of space for the kids and dogs to run, surrounded by trees and hills that make you feel like you’re worlds away from the hustle and bustle of tourist season in Ketchum! Communication with the owners was easy, expectations and houses rules were totally reasonable and clear. We really hope to stay at Board Ranch again soon!

Beautiful home, perfect for extended families
Beautifully decorated home, perfect for a large group. Kitchen is stocked for cooking gourmet meals. Superb layout for an extended family (we put one couple in master, one couple in garage apartment, one couple in first floor bedroom, eight kids in the basement bunk room and/or the additional bedroom) with lots of different common spaces so we never felt as if we were in a tight space. Owner was highly responsive to all of our needs; the icing on the cake was the beautiful Christmas tree in the living room and the holiday decorations all over the house! The home is beautifully maintained and spotless with heated floors and a large fireplace for perfect wintertime vacations. Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the holidays with family. Easy access (short drive) to Warm Springs base.

A very nice house in a very nice location
We went up to Sun Valley for the first time, and met up with some friends there (none of whom had been there before). The house was expensive, but essentially we got what we paid for. The kitchen and living room are very large and open, and easily accommodated our large group. Everything was clean, tidy, and functional, as you would expect. The yard was well groomed, and large - we set up a volleyball net with space to spare, and the kids had a great time on the in-ground trampoline. The extra space above the garage was very useful as well. Bed space was good, again, accommodating our large group just fine. Outdoor grill worked well and is reasonably sized. Garage accommodates two large vehicles (ours are 7+ feet tall), and is very neat. Hot tub was very nice as well, and games, etc. ample.
House sits in the middle of two fairly tall hills (roughly 2400' elevation gain from the house), and at night the stars are really something, as light pollution is at a minimum. The house is far enough removed from town (3-4 miles) to enjoy the solitude, but near enough to run down to the grocery store in fairly short order (10-15 min). The neighborhood was quiet (well, at least before we got there...), although there was some construction going on during the day (but that was not bothersome).
A few minor nits (that do not detract from the 5 star rating):
- the land line phone didn't work at first - we informed the owner of this issue, and he stopped by with a functioning phone the next day. (By the way, the cell service at the house was poor - we have Verizon. However, we noted that if you drove down the road around half a mile or maybe a mile, the service was adequate)
- refrigerator space - we could have used more. Although the fridge in the house is pretty big, our large group needed more. There is a very small fridge in the quarters above the garage, but it is too small to be of much practical use for primary storage. A suggestion would be a supplemental fridge perhaps in the garage.
- upstairs master bedroom - great room, very spacious and beautiful, but it has no door - once you get up the stairs, you are in it. From a sound perspective, would be nice to have some sort of barrier, so the kids don't wander upstairs and disturb anyone...
- the light switches in the living room/kitchen are hard to figure out, both location and which is which - we never did get it quite figured out. Some labels (like the front entry panel) would help.

Great property for extended family summertime gathering, fun times in yard and great room
The property was perfect for our extended family gathering with adults and children of all ages. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for privacy and comfort for multiple families combined with large outdoor and great room areas for gathering together. We especially enjoyed the yard for games with the kids and the in-ground trampoline was extremely popular. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The quiet location was great for morning walks to Penny Lake but also close enough to Ketchum for early AM swims at the Wood River Community YMCA. Scott, the owner, was readily available for minor questions we had upon check-in. We found many things to enjoy in Sun Valley from relaxing in the backyard and enjoying the wind and the trees, to rafting, horseback riding, hiking and summertime figure skating. Board Ranch was a terrific place for our far-flung family to gather for a precious week of quality time and enjoyment.
