Beautiful fully outfitted cabin

We had the best time at the cabin - a great jump off to alpine, Nordic, snowshoeing, hot springs and the rest Sun Valley has to offer. Thank you for hosting and offering as pet-friendly!

Couldn’t ask for more

Stayed for five nights with my dog and husband. Cozy, quiet and private. Property has “the best” of everything- plush towels, three options for making coffee, all the cooking supplies you could want, wood ready for the stove, and dog dishes!

A retreat in the woods

The Emerald Gem is a sweet cottage in a quiet location. It is meticulously maintained and warmly appointed. It has great access to Warm Springs Creek for anyone interested in fishing. The owners are considerate and responsive. We hope to be back soon!

Great Winter Family Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our little winter get away in Sun Valley. Downhill skied, cross country skied, went sledding, dog park adventure and sitting in the hot springs!! The cabin was a great base camp!! Can’t wait to come back again!!

Great place

Spouse and I took our first 2 week vacation in years and could not have found a better place to stay. While "small", it was the perfect size for the two of us and our dog. Great place to return to after snowshoeing or great place to just sit and read a book. Would definitely stay here again, and in a different season.

Great location just 15 minutes out of Ketchum. House had all the comforts and beds very comfortable. Books, darts, games, pet bowls, outdoor seating and several firepits. Very relaxing which is exactly what we were looking for. Never found the land line phone but wifi worked great.

Peaceful

We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.

Peaceful Get Away

Amazing cabin tucked away in a beautiful canyon. Big trees surround the cabin so it has amazing shade, and keeps the cabin so cool. Its in a peaceful neighborhood and you can have the windows open and just hear the river running and the cool mountain air coming in. There are lots of hikes, fishing, places to eat, and beautiful scenery to explore. This is an amazing place to stay and you are close to a lot of different places. They have fun activities to do at the cabin as well they had 2 bikes and we enjoyed going on rides!

Idyllic

Simply a perfect mountain retreat. Twenty minute drive out of Ketchum and you really get away from it all. The cabin is amazing and extremely well laid out. The beds are very comfortable—I slept incredibly well!! I especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which is important when you’re up in in the mountains. The cabin was warm and cozy and that’s even before you light the wood stove. Truly a great great place and I’d happily stay again.

Perfect Winter Getaway

My husband, two dogs and I came to Ketchum for a 5 day (4 night) weekend to cross country ski. This cabin was the perfect base camp. It is quiet and peaceful, the surroundings are beautiful and the cabin was the perfect size for us. It has a rustic feel but has all the amenities and luxuries (hot shower, kitchen to cook dinner and a wonderfully comfortable bed) that you could want. I love that this is dog friendly - being able to bring our dogs enhanced our experience immensely. One of our favorite parts was making a fire every night and listening to the crackle as we unwound on the couch. Highly recommend this place and hope to come again!

a gem in the woods

spent 9 delightful nights in a rustic cabin. very comfortable, cozy and spacious for 2 people. was not lacking for anything. we would either bike or hike for several hours (not from there) and come back and hang out and relax. never went out for a meal as didn't feel like driving 18-20 minutes back to town. would definitely stay again. also, the owner's were quick to respond to any questions if I had any.

The perfect mountain cabin!

I feel so lucky to have discovered the Emerald Gem! My husband and I, along with our dog, stayed four wonderful days and we only have positive things to say about this cabin and its location. We loved being surrounded by gorgeous trees while enjoying the calming sounds of the nearby creek. The cabin was super clean, 100% dog-friendly, comfortable, and very well-appointed. We lacked for nothing! And we appreciated the great communication from the hosts. Needless to say, we can't wait to visit again! K.Lee & David Theel

My stay could not have been better

We found the cabin exceed all of the (already high) expectations we got from the VRBO listing. On one hand, the back wall of the cabin looks out directly into the forest -- you can sit on the couch and peer into the endless trees for hours. Foxes and elk occasionally roam by your front porch! On the other hand, the kitchen is one of the most modern ones I have seen! I loved the wooden cabinets, and some day would love to own one just like that. Finally, I appreciated all the natural cleaning products that Gabriela stocked the cabin with. I apologize for a rambling review, but there are too many great things to say about the cabin. I cannot wait to be back. Gabriela is a fantastic host and always responded to all questions promptly.
