Wow! Such hospitality. Thanks for taking care of a couple 1st timers to the area! We will happily return and support this local business every time we come back to Ketchum! Oh and they sell really great stuff too! However, the staff and owner are what really stood out to us.

Stopped in for some forgotten items before headed into the mountains. Found exactly what we needed with the help of amazingly friendly staff.
