Ridge Hideaway

Great location.

We have stayed at many condos & rental homes in Sun Valley over the years but this unit was our worst experience. The steep stairs leading up to the unit had no handrail on the inside, which made for a real safety issue when climbing with groceries, luggage etc. The unit itself was well used but clean. No upgrades since the 70's when it was built. Had 3 days of constant dog from the downstairs unit & had to report to police as a nuisance. The pots & pans were disgustingly old & cheap & we wouldn't cook with them so we bought our own. There was missing or broken floor moulding in kitchen, bathroom & living area. Furniture was comfortable but had burn holes (probably from fire embers) on large chair & ottoman. Patio door lock not working & screen door didn't lock either. Patio had nice views but umbrella stand wasn't functional so no shade. Two plastic chairs on porch need replacement. One chair was totally broken. Spending time on the patio was interrupted by bees which were coming from behind the siding moulding. The door leading to the toilet & tub/shower room was damaged & was way too big for the small room. We couldn't walk into the toilet without straddling the toilet or standing to the side to even close the door. Shower/tub had no anti slip mat. We had to by one. The shower control valve unit was very difficult to operate. Had to pull real hard to get shower on. Pan under the washer dryer was stuck out into the walk way to the shower/toilet & posed a tripping point on the sharp metal corner when trying to navigate bathroom runs at night. Unit was very dark & lighting in living area was poor. Lamp by sofa had to control switch. On the plus side, location was great & the response to complaints by First Chair personnel was exceptional. Nick, the property mgr was particularly helpful & very responsive. In short, this property is ready for some serious upgrade.

First off, would I stay here again? Absolutely. It was clean, and I love that it was uncluttered with decorations on every surface. It was quiet. We were at the end of the row of condiminiums, so not much car traffic, and no noise from neighbors outside at night. It was HOT (mid 90s) and since there was no AC we left the windows open at night, so I really appreciated how quiet it was. Another downside to the no AC was that we kept the curtains drawn, and it was a little dark inside, even with all the lamps on. The area is beautiful, and parking was great. We didn't use the kitchen much, except to make smoothies in the morning (we brought our own blender), so I don't know how well equipped the kitchen is. I did appreciate the ice maker though. It was also nice that the toilet and shower were separataed from the sink and counter, so you can have your privacy and someone else can still get ready at the sink. All in all it was a great place for a quick getaway with my husband.

The free bus service was great. Atkinson’s grocery store is amazing. Everyone we met in the valley was nice. The accommodations are clean and comfortable and the deck is lovely.

The condo was a good place to stay at a fair rate. We would stay here again.

Love the location!
