This place is one of our favorite places to stay. It has its own energy and is so relaxing. We come here to unplug from the business of life and it works every time. They care so much about ensuring that their guests have a great time and it shows. We will be back again.
This cabin is a gem. Cozy, welcoming and surrounded by gorgeous pine, fir and spruce. Close enough to the river to enjoy its constant song and the nights skies are some of clearest you'll find.
We were completely satisfied with our stay at your home. Beautiful, cozy, and GREEN… my favorite color. We are looking forward to coming back one day! Very clean and the hosts are so thoughtful (you guys thought of the little things and we noticed).
We had the best time at the cabin - a great jump off to alpine, Nordic, snowshoeing, hot springs and the rest Sun Valley has to offer. Thank you for hosting and offering as pet-friendly!
I had stayed at this cabin before in winter and had a great time. It is even better in the summer! Great quiet location with nice outdoor spaces. I enjoyed listening to the creek. The cabin was perfect for me and my dog. Will rent again.
Stayed for five nights with my dog and husband. Cozy, quiet and private. Property has “the best” of everything- plush towels, three options for making coffee, all the cooking supplies you could want, wood ready for the stove, and dog dishes!
We loved this cozy cabin in the woods, especially all the windows letting in the beautiful greenery from outside. Being so close to Frenchman’s hot springs was a bonus. There is a warm feeling about the Emerald Gem. Looking forward to returning!
This property was exactly what we needed. It was private, with some neighbors nearby, but no one within view. The creek sound is really nice. It stays really cool because the spot does not get a lot of sun, which is great for this time of year in the summer. It was very cozy. It had more amenities than anywhere I have stayed, as far as kitchen items, bathroom items, and whatever else you might need. I would stay again anytime.
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025

Great location just 15 minutes out of Ketchum. House had all the comforts and beds very comfortable. Books, darts, games, pet bowls, outdoor seating and several firepits. Very relaxing which is exactly what we were looking for. Never found the land line phone but wifi worked great.
The Emerald Gem is a sweet cottage in a quiet location. It is meticulously maintained and warmly appointed. It has great access to Warm Springs Creek for anyone interested in fishing. The owners are considerate and responsive. We hope to be back soon!
My husband was a little hesitant after driving 6 miles on a dirt road into the woods, but that quickly disappeared after he saw how wonderful this little cabin and the quiet location was! So much better than staying in town. Our dog loved exploring in the woods and catching her ball in the front yard. Gabriela thought of everything - even a box fan for those of us who need noise to sleep! I highly recommend this cozy rustic cabin if you enjoy peace and quiet.
Loved every minute of our stay. So many little touches added to the enjoyment. You feel like they have thought of everything from having the fireplaces ready to just light a match to fresh coffee beans ready to grind. Also, they had dog bowls, dog bed, and snacks that confirmed to us that our dog was very welcome there. Beautiful time of year to visit....great fall colors :) Thank you!
We had such a great stay! The location is gorgeous. Perfect for those seeking some outdoor therapy! We enjoyed exploring the forest behind the cabin. And the stars at night were incredible! Just a short drive in to town where we enjoyed some good food. The fishing near by was also great! Our kids keep telling us they miss the cabin already! We hope to return soon. The hosts were great at communicating and provide everything you need for a great stay.
We had a wonderful time! The property was fun to explore. The cabin was a perfect size and we loved using the wood stove to warm up. They had a very well stocked kitchen. Usually there’s always something missing, like a can opener, but they had everything that you would need. You won’t regret renting this home.
Simply a perfect mountain retreat. Twenty minute drive out of Ketchum and you really get away from it all. The cabin is amazing and extremely well laid out. The beds are very comfortable—I slept incredibly well!! I especially enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, which is important when you’re up in in the mountains. The cabin was warm and cozy and that’s even before you light the wood stove. Truly a great great place and I’d happily stay again.
