What guests say
9.5 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 106 guest reviews
Knob Hill Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment across recent stays, with guests consistently highlighting the exceptionally warm and attentive staff, a generous included breakfast, and a prime walkable location in Ketchum. The main recurring friction points are the on-site restaurant's inconsistent quality relative to its pricing and a small, congested parking lot at peak dining hours. Overall, it is regarded as a charming, high-comfort boutique property that delivers a cozy, European-style experience well above its boutique category.
