Perched on a hillside above Lake Creek and backed by public land, this three-bedroom, three-bath home is surrounded by sagebrush, aspens and wide-open Idaho views. It's rustic, quirky, cozy and full of old-school Western character. More importantly, it feels wonderfully tucked away despite being only minutes from Ketchum and Sun Valley.

Getting here is part of the experience. Park below the home and climb the covered outdoor stairway to reach the house, where a large deck opens to sweeping views across the surrounding hills and mountains.

Inside, settle into a snug Western-inspired living room filled with cowboy character, comfortable seating and a Smart TV for streaming. The kitchen has everything you need for meals at home, but this is a house where you'll probably spend just as much time outside.

Step onto the deck with coffee in the morning. Find a chair among the aspens in the afternoon. And when the sun disappears, slip into the private hot tub and look up—away from the lights of downtown, clear nights here can be spectacular.

The home has three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Downstairs, the primary features a king bed and en suite bath. A second bedroom has two twin beds, an en suite bathroom and its own small living area with a TV. Upstairs, you'll find a private queen bedroom with another en suite bath and access to an elevated outdoor seating area.

And adventure is never far away. Continue toward the end of Lake Creek Drive and you're less than a mile from access to forest lands, camping, a stocked fishing pond and trails including local-favorite Taylor Canyon. Near the entrance to Lake Creek, the Lake Creek trailhead along the Big Wood River opens up even more opportunities for hiking and biking.

Spend the day exploring.

Then disappear back into your little cowboy cottage in the hills.

WHY WE LOVE IT
Hot tub + Idaho stars. This might be the best seat in the house after dark.
It actually feels like Idaho. Cowboy details, rustic interiors, sagebrush hills and aspens give this place a personality all its own.
The views are BIG. Grab a drink and find your favorite spot on the deck.
Three bedrooms. Three bathrooms. A surprisingly great setup for couples, friends or a family that appreciates some separation.
Your backyard gets wild quickly. Trails, fishing, biking and public-land adventures are right around the Lake Creek area.
Hidden away, without actually being far away. Come home from Ketchum and suddenly you're back among sagebrush, aspens and quiet hills.
It isn't trying to be a luxury hotel. And that's exactly why we love it. Come here for character, privacy and a genuine mountain-town experience.
