Named for its location next to Ketchum’s landmark Knob Hill, the inn transforms through the seasons. Winters help define the alpine architecture, which focuses on beauty and function. Deep overhangs and roof lines provide cover from snow during the winter while granting shade during sunny months.

Any time of year, the inn provides a respite for guests looking for the best in unique amenities and intimate stays. The hotel’s cozy central living area and bar underscore its intimate appeal, while a glass-block enclosed fireplace and exposed wood beams accentuate the natural elements of the mountains and the streamlined European feel.

Knob Hill’s 26 generously appointed suites are rich in detail, true to the European stylings. Hints of Northern Italy come through via wood carvings of Austria through stained glass windows, and other regions through painted armoires and original watercolors. While every room is unique in design, each is outfitted with a wet bar, dressing area, and marble-tiled bathroom with tub and separate shower. The most stunning visuals, however, are the mountain vistas that guests in each room are treated to from their private balconies.

Investors in Knob Hill will have the opportunity to create a unique alpine experience in the individual suites, as well as in the two intimate dining areas. Currently, the owners are operating the main restaurant as a grill and cellar featuring a comfortable dining room. A more casual “breakfast” area offers the opportunity to host guests in a less formal manner with serve-yourself options.
