4BD Chocolate Gulch Cabin on Trailhead

Nestled among whispering pines just 300 yards from the Big Wood River, Chocolate Gulch Cabin offers a serene escape on nearly two private acres of beautifully maintained grounds, often visited by local wildlife. This free-standing 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in North Ketchum is surrounded by nature with direct access to the Chocolate Gulch Loop trail. You'll feel worlds away in this peaceful retreat, yet downtown Ketchum and the Sun Valley ski slopes are only a 7 mile drive.

Inside, the cabin captures the essence of mountain living with warm wood finishes and inviting spaces to gather or unwind. The main living room centers around a classic wood-burning fireplace, the perfect spot to curl up after a day outdoors. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for home-cooked meals and lively dinners in the adjoining dining area. A second downstairs den offers a quiet retreat complete with a Smart TV for movie nights and a treadmill for active mornings, while upstairs, a cozy open loft serves as a third living area with a sleeper sofa for two extra guests.

4 Bedrooms – 3 Bathrooms – Sleeps 10 Guests

The cabin comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Downstairs, the primary suite features a king bed and a private ensuite bathroom with a shower, while a second king bedroom shares a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

Upstairs, a third king bedroom sits just off the loft, alongside a small bedroom with a full bed - perfect for kids or close friends - and a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower. The loft's sleeper sofa accommodates two additional guests, and a full laundry room adds convenience for longer stays and light packing.
