This Bavarian style log cabin up the Warm Springs Creek outside of Ketchum Idaho is a place of dreams. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces, sconce lighting and candles lovely antiques, antique Wedgwood stove, flowers everywhere. Warm Springs creek burbles outside and provides hot mineral water for three hot tubs. This isn’t just a spot, it’s an experience of pure Idaho paradise right outside Ketchum. Hosts amazing of course!

Magical

This stay was better than we could've imagined. The photos on the listing do not do it justice. Think quaint little French cottage in the woods-inside the national forest. You have to cross a covered wooden bridge to access the property, and there are tubs near the creek that have hot water pumped directly into them from Frenchman Hot Springs. The owners are very welcoming and give you as much space as you need but check in to see if you need anything. We will definitely try to stay here again when we're in the area or as a special trip. I can't say enough about it. It was the perfect place to quiet my mind and reconnect with nature.

Beautiful Lake House

Weekend birthday trip to try fishing the local canals for Peacock bass. This property was not only beautiful, comfortable, modern, and conveniently located near everything, but we were able to catch more peacock bass from the backyard lake than we did on any of the canals!! Check-in and check out was easy, the whole house was clean and inviting and the outdoor patio overlooking the lake is relaxing and serene! Quiet family neighborhood that made us feel safe and at home. Five stars weren’t enough! Definitely enjoyed our stay!!

Amazing weekend in Sun Valley!

This property is absolutely magical! We were blown away with how charming and unique everything was, and the hot springs fed hot tubs were to die for! Somehow we missed the fact that there was a separate sauna cabin so that was a nice surprise too! This place is absolutely not kid or pet friendly so do not even think about it - beautiful antiques everywhere. Very well stocked - the owners have thought of everything! We especially loved the wood burning fireplaces after a long day of skiing. Can't wait to go back! Do not hesitate to rent this spot if you don't mind driving a bit from town for some peace and quiet. Internet connection was great for wifi and calling.

Do yourself a favor

Forget about renting a condo at a ski resort when this property is available 20 minutes from downtown Ketchum. Like having a health spa to yourself. Hot tubs 10’ from the river, immaculate sauna . Home is like living in a doll house . Couldn’t believe how well stocked fridge was… Bacon, eggs, english muffins, butter , beer , wine, Snacks. We actually asked Lisa where she got the mattress on the bed ! Outdoor fires each night with plenty of dry wood available. Lisa and Michael on property but you would never know it. Great people. Will never forget our stay there.

God is in the Details

Surely we escaped from the darkness of the pandemic to heaven on earth at Croney Cove. We didn't go on our annual trip to Switzerland in 2020, but we discovered Alpine perfection 10 miles from Ketchum. This storybook chalet has been lovingly curated by owners Lisa Vierling and Michael Stoneback. Unlike most rental properties, the art and furnishings are exquisite and no shortcuts have been taken. The linens are ironed, real candles abound, the toiletries are top shelf, and the larder is well stocked for a gourmet happy hour and delicious breakfast. A babbling creek, natural hot spring and crackling wood fire complete the idyllic scene. Thank you Lisa and Michael for entrusting Croney Cove to us for three splendid days.

A Magical Winter Retreat with Enchanting Hot Tubs!

This way truly a snowy paradise! From the charming cabin surrounded by mountains to the cozy interior, our stay felt like a winter fairy tale. The hosts were fantastic! They were kind enough to meet us with their very adorable dogs and walk us through the property and told the history which was so amazing. Although they were on the property, we didn't see them after the first meet. It was very private. Kitchen had everything you would need. They also thought of everything- providing a fully stocked fridge, plenty of wood for the fireplace, and robes for the hot tubs/natural hot springs. The two hot tubs/natural springs with panoramic winter views was perfect after a long day on the slopes. It is also close (within walking distance) to a public natural hot springs (Frenchmans I think is what it was called) which was another plus. There were a ton of areas to go snowshoe and I am sure the summer hiking and biking around there is just as wonderful. It was a bit out of the main town and we had a little bit of a hard time finding it (google maps does not take you to the correct place on the same road so just follow the hosts instructions). But it is really just a short drive and well worth it. The views are just incredible and the roads are paved so we did not have any problems during the very snowy days. The cabin's was also so uniquely decorated. We really loved it. This magical retreat left us with unforgettable memories. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to return!

What can I say that has not already been said? Lisa and Michael are amazing hosts. The natural hot springs-fed hot tubs were a joy. We spent one evening in one enjoying the full moon (at Lisa's suggestion). The property is well-maintained and beautiful in July. We ate dinners on the bridge and watched the fish and ducks swim by. The refrigerator was fully stocked, more than we needed. It was so tranquil we did not turn on the TV the entire time we were there. We will be coming back again and again (for as many times and Lisa and Michael let us back).

This was our second time here but hopefully not our last- we love this place- so peaceful after a day of skiing- the warmth and comfort of the cabin, filled with antiques and art (stocked with all kinds of delicious treats) create a welcoming, memorable retreat --and we were in the natural hot spring tubs (listening to the sounds of the river and forest) morning and night!

Great Mountain Get Away

We loved the secluded house and it's old-world charm. The hot tubs and sauna are a huge bonus.A couple of corrections or additions to the listing:- The upstairs bed is a double, not a queen. But very comfortable with heating pads.- The owners live in a house on the same property. They are great to work with and very hospitable.- January is very cold, naturally. The fireplace and space heaters couldn't keep up, so we had to run the gas oven to help heat the house.We will definitely come again!

Wonderful escape

This is a very charming log cabin hidden from the road and decorated with old world charm. It is perfect for 2. For a week we had our own covered bridge over a gurgling creek for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, two natural hot tubs, trails nearby to hike, and trout nearby to catch and release on a fly. We enjoyed delicious meals in Ketchum/Sun Valley as well as picnics on the beautiful property.Lisa and Michael, property owners,were terrific.We can’t wait to return.

Relaxing Getaway

Amazing location! So beautiful and relaxing… we didn’t want to leave! It is about 20 minutes outside of Ketchum in the sawtooth national forest right on Warm Springs creek rd near Frenchman’s Hot Springs. It was further out than we realized, so it was a bit challenging to find the first time, but worth the drive. Lisa was super nice and it was fun to hear about the history of the place when we arrived. Spring fed hot tub right next to the river was the best! Perfect romantic getaway!
