The Barn on Warm Springs Creek - 9 Riverfront Acres
Looking for a unique stay in Sun Valley?
Step into The Barn on Warm Springs Creek - a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat nestled on 9 acres of private riverfront, just two minutes from the Warm Springs base of Bald Mountain and a short drive or bike ride to downtown Ketchum.
Flanked by the rugged beauty of the Sawtooth National Forest and the rushing waters of Warm Springs Creek, this iconic barn was originally built as a caretaker's quarters and working barn for a historic dude ranch. Today, it's been thoughtfully transformed into a cozy, character-filled home - rustic, rare, and refreshingly unplugged.
Set across two levels, The Barn on Warm Springs Creek offers a warm and welcoming layout - ideal for families or close friends who are comfortable sharing space. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchen (plus outdoor Traegar Pellet Grill), a dining area perfect for shared meals and game nights, two relaxing living areas, and total privacy surrounded by the Sawtooth National Forest. There's WiFi to stay connected, but no TV - just the soothing sounds of the river, nature, and local wildlife.
The Barn on Warm Springs Creek comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. The only fully private bedroom features a bunk bed, perfect for guests traveling with kids. Two additional bedrooms are tucked into converted horse stalls with solid walls and doors, though they remain open to the hayloft above, preserving the barn's unique architectural charm.
Upstairs, the hayloft doubles as a fourth sleeping area and a dreamy second lounge, complete with bookshelves, board games, kids toys, reading nooks, and picture-perfect views!
This home includes a full laundry room and one shared bathroom - which has worked well for past guests but is worth noting as you plan your stay.
A Wild & Wonderful Backyard
Enjoy unmatched access to nature - with the river just steps from your door, expansive mountain views, private hot springs, frequent wildlife sightings, and plenty of open space to roam, ride bikes, fish, and gather with friends and family. Whether you're sipping coffee with a sunrise, watching the local wildlife, gearing up for a ski day, or soaking up the stars of the Dark Sky Preserve, this is a peaceful mountain setting where memories are made.
