SCOUT REVIEW
With just 29 rooms, the Knob Hill Inn provides an intimate and personalized experience – yet also the level of luxury you’d expect from a large hotel. The staff here are incredibly friendly, and they go out of their way to treat every guest like royalty.
The hotel’s architecture has been influenced by Austrian mountain chalets, which creates a feeling of cozy tranquility. Since it was built (in 1992) it has undergone several renovations, including a refurbishment of all the guestrooms. It might look like a traditional European chalet from the outside, but inside everything is decidedly modern and new.
Scout loves the rooms that are generous in size, and come with comfortable, contemporary mountain-style furnishings. While all the rooms here are gorgeous, the fireplace rooms are a little larger in size, with a lovely sitting area and – as the name suggests – a wood-burning fireplace. (The fireplace is set every day by housekeeping). Most of the rooms come with a small wet bar with mini fridge for convenience, while the Baldy Two Bedroom Suite is the largest of the offerings and boasts a fantastic full kitchen.
The hotel’s restaurant, The Grill, is a popular choice for all visitors to the valley – and as a guest you’ll be given priority reservations. A full continental breakfast is included in the nightly rate, with buffet item offerings changing daily.
At the end of a hard day on the slopes you will love the hotel’s indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. And if for some reason you still have energy to burn, guests are given day passes to the nearby YMCA which features a large lap pool and gym equipment.
Although the Knob Hill Inn is within easy walking distance of all of Ketchum’s downtown offerings, the hotel offers an on-demand shuttle in the evenings to the town. There is also a shuttle service for Bald and Dollar mountains in the mornings and afternoons.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
