Smiley Creek Cabin B: Hot Tub, Views & Adventure | Cabin in Ketchum, ID

Nestled in the heart of Idaho's wild playground, this Smiley Creek cabin is your launchpad for adventure. Imagine waking up surrounded by towering pines, the air crisp and fresh, with a day full of exploration ahead. Whether you're here to chase powder in the winter or trek through alpine meadows in the summer, this cabin is more than just a place to rest—it's your basecamp for epic escapades.
Smiley Creek is that sweet spot between Ketchum and Stanley, a gateway to everything the Sawtooth Wilderness has to offer. You're just 40 minutes from Sun Valley's legendary slopes or the serene trails of Stanley and Galena. But why go far when Smiley Creek itself is a treasure trove of adventure? In winter, step out your front door and into a winter wonderland perfect for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Summer calls for world-class hikes, fishing in crystal-clear lakes, or simply soaking up the views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The cabin sits atop a hill, offering stunning views of the mountains and a front-row seat to nature's finest shows. The road leading up is a bit steep, so we recommend a 4WD or AWD vehicle in the summer and require it in the winter for safety. Part of a duo, this B unit shares a wall with the A unit—perfect if you're bringing a crowd and need extra space. The two-bedroom, two-bath cabin is spacious enough to sleep six comfortably, with the option to add two queen air mattresses for larger groups. Just let us know ahead of time if you need them.
As you step inside this log cabin, you're greeted by a warm, open-concept space with a living room that boasts floor-to-ceiling vaulted windows, a cozy sectional couch, and a stone wood-burning fireplace—your go-to spot for winding down after a day of adventure. The kitchen is fully equipped to handle all your culinary ambitions, whether you're whipping up a hearty mountain breakfast or a gourmet dinner. The dining area seats six, with bar seating for three more, making it the perfect spot for meals and game nights alike.
The primary bedroom upstairs is a retreat in itself, featuring a plush king bed, a smart TV, and breathtaking views. The ensuite bathroom is pure luxury, with a soaking tub, double vanity, and a spacious shower. Step out onto the covered balcony to dine al fresco or fire up the BBQ as you take in the panoramic views of the pines and mountains.
Downstairs, the second living space is all about fun and relaxation. With two leather couches, a smart TV, a pool table, and a bar, it's an ideal hangout spot after a day on the trails. The second bedroom features two queen beds and direct access to the outdoor patio, where a hot tub awaits—perfect for soaking under the stars, even if it's snowing. The outdoor space is a haven of its own, complete with seating around a fire pit (seasonally available) and a backdrop of serene pine trees.
While this cabin offers a secluded, private feel, it's still conveniently located within the Smiley Creek neighborhood, giving you the best of both worlds. Smiley Creek Lodge is just down the hill, offering not only delicious meals but also snowmobile rentals for those looking to up the ante on adventure. The lodge's staff is a wealth of knowledge about the local area, making it a great resource during your stay.
And yes, we know your adventure buddy might have four legs—this cabin is pet-friendly, welcoming one dog to join in on the fun (sorry, no cats). As for staying connected, the cabin has Wi-Fi, but depending on your service provider, cell service can be spotty—consider it the perfect excuse to unplug.
The shoulder seasons here are nothing short of magical. In the fall, the aspens turn a golden hue, creating a stunning backdrop for your adventures. The weather is crisp, cozy, and perfect for curling up in the cabin. Spring brings a burst of wildflowers, painting the landscape with color, and as the snow melts, the trails start to beckon—muddy at first, but accessible by late spring.
Whether you're here for the thrill of the outdoors or just to escape the hustle and bustle, this Smiley Creek cabin is the perfect place to write your next adventure story.
