bed and breakfast inns in Sun Vallley/ketchum

Does any one have information about the River Street Inn in Ketchum or the Idaho Country Inn? The Knob Hill inn looks fantastic but a bit pricey. We really do want to stay at a wonderful place with marvelous linens to feel warm and cozy after a day of skiing and a place that offers a great breakfast. Any feedback would be appreciated.

i know where all of those b and b are located, but have only been in river street and knob hill. i didn%26#39;t even know that the ici still existed. tried the websites, but no avail. knob hill just has a small type breakfast, and i know that the river street inn, USED to have great breakfasts. knob hill is on the highway, and the others are on less busier streets.

would have no idea about the linens, i have stayed at wonderful hotels, and the linens weren%26#39;t anything to write home about.

I know what you mean, but without websites, can%26#39;t tell.

have you thought about sun valley lodge...very romantic, views to die for, and a resturant downstairs...ice skating, bowling...all kinds of warm pools. and they give you lift tickets in the room price

Hey Charlie. Thanks for all your feedback. I have narrowed it down to the Knob Hill Inn or the Sun Valley Lodge. Knob Hill is much pricer but their one package includes 2 dinners at their restaurant. Could not find much feed back except for one person who said it was very good.

I love the look of the Knob Hill but the Lodge seems to have a better apres ski ambience plus not on a main street. My only concern about the lodge is that the place looks old and outdated, typical hotel room covers and bathroom is not top notch.

Would you rec the River Street inn over these 2 places?

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks A.

ONe of the reasons that dinner is included in the price, is, i feel, that the restaurant is so high priced, and that the owners also own it, that they are using it for attraction. I worked there for a few days, yes, the food was great, but new cook. i don%26#39;t hear anyone going there, but i am a bit out of the loop. it is on the main street, a bit north. Maybe the linens are better there than the SVL, but the charm of the lodge is the winner in my book.

There are many more amenities at SV (and i am not a fan of the Sv Co.). The lobby is very cool, looking right outside to the skating rink. There is a great bar, the Duchin Room (we have called it the Wrinkle Room forever), with live music, a decent restuarant for breakfast, 2 hot pools, spa services, a fun bowling alley . I am not much of a bowler, but when the grand kids come, we hit that place first. it has ';bumpers'; so the balls never go into the alley. The ambience of the lodge can%26#39;t be beat and the sunday brunch, is one to write home about. A piano player, view of the rink and the mountain. Have you ever read anything about the history of SV??? The lodge was built in %26#39;36 and is made to look like wood, actually it is concrete. The halls are lined with thousands of pictures of the movie stars (and other important people, who made this place what it is.The Railroad used to come up here and the lodge would send the sleight, and cover the people with furs...rent Sun Valley Seranade for fun.

My family stays at the lodge and never complains, unusual.

the rooms are smallish, but you are paying for the killer charm.

There is the SV mall, just a few shops of higher class, and candy store, ect.

The KHI has a VERY small place to sit and drink the owners wine (eeekkk)and a very small pool.

Thanks Charley. You have been a great help. I think we will stay at the Lodge. It certainly does have the charm and history. We%26#39;ll save quite a bit with their march madness special and since we have to meet our son and daughter in law in Snowbasin, Utah (they live inSLC, but can%26#39;t get away til the weekend) we%26#39;ll have more $ to spend and hopefully treat them. Thanks. Arlynn

If you can rec. any great rest. in SV, Ketchum or Hailey, that would be great. Arlynn.

Hi Charley....another quick question. Would you rec. the lodge vs the inn? Looks like the inn has much new upgraded bathrooms, but of course we won%26#39;t have the grandeur of the Lodge. Also, do you know of any condo that you would recommended over the lodge? thanks for your time and trouble. arlynn

rbaby, i am going to send you a PM, so check it out.

Today (April 27 %26#39;09) I received the following information from the Sun Valley Ketchum Chamber and Visitors Bureau:

';The River Street Inn is no longer in operation. They are now individual condos with individual owners. The property management company ResortQuest does manage several of those units and most of them are available of rent. Their number is 208-726-5601 or online at www.resortquestsunvalley.com.';
