Lew's Place

Search Sun Valley Idaho

Lew's place has all the comforts you'd expect in a vacation home, but that's not the most important part. When you stay at Lew's Place you're going to experience a piece of history that no new condo can provide. Half way between Hailey and Ketchum, just five minutes from the ski areas, ten from the airport, Lew's Place is the handbuilt home of a Sun Valley legend, Lew Whitcher. In it you will find pictures of the man who built it, a decorated member of the 10th Mountain Division, a man who some say was the best skier of this century. You'll see his tools, his pictures, feel the precision and care that went into this remarkable construction effort. Lew's Place is the real thing, the inspiration for the novel 'On Exhibition.' An unrepeatable experience.
