Red Elephant | 4BR - Fire Pit - River & Downtown
Nestled among mature aspens and cottonwoods in a quiet Hailey neighborhood, Red Elephant Retreat is a warm, character-filled cedar home with a personality of its own. Tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, a river rock gas wood stove, and a gorgeous paver patio with string lights and a fire pit create a space you'll settle into immediately. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home puts you half a mile from downtown Hailey and 400 feet from the Big Wood River - your perfect Wood River Valley base camp, whatever your adventure.
Inside, the open-concept great room flows from a fully equipped kitchen, with new appliances and granite counters, through to the dining area and living room, where the sectional sofa and warm wood stove invite you to stay a while. The dining table seats six, with four bar stools at the counter for extra guests. Sliding doors open directly onto the patio, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Stream your favorites on the Roku TV, fire up the BBQ grill, or gather around the fire pit as the aspens rustle overhead. A hot tub is coming soon (September 2026), making this retreat even harder to leave.
4 Bedrooms – 3 Bathrooms – Sleeps 8 Guests
Red Elephant Retreat comfortably accommodates 8 guests in four bedrooms, all with hotel-style linens and Smart TVs. The main-level primary suite offers a queen bed, ceiling fan, a custom walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed spacious ensuite with a glass walk-in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with full beds and ceiling fans share a charming bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower combo. Downstairs, a cozy fourth bedroom with a full bed is perfect for kids, with an adjacent bathroom with a walk-in shower and stacked washer/dryer.
Like most homes in the valley, Red Elephant Retreat does not have AC - but the mature tree canopy keeps things naturally cool, and ceiling fans and bug screens on every window ensure comfortable evenings all summer long.
