IMPORTANT UPDATE! – May 20, 2021 – Blaine County remains in Moderate Rick for COVID. With only 50% of residents being vaccinated, it’s important to continue to social distance and wear masks. CLICK HERE for the Blaine County COVID Dashboard.

To keep our guests and staff safe Habitat has increased their protective measures with Contactless Check-in. The physical office will remain closed until the County changes their COVID restrictions. Your check-in envelope with your keys will be sanitized and available to you inside the door to the left of the office door, look for a white envelope with your name on it. A package of soap and consumable items will be found in your condo and those items have been sanitized and quarantined for you prior to your check in. Please use what you need and leave the bag in the condo for us to refill, sanitize, and quarantine for another guest. If you need anything further from our office (additional towels, linens, etc.), please feel very welcome to contact our Manager, Tamara, and she will be happy to provide what is needed immediately. Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

Habitat is open for guests!   However, please note that the City of Ketchum and Blaine County are requiring some additional and different procedures than in other parts of Idaho or in other states. For example, wearing a face mask is required at all times in public areas as is social distancing. Therefore, not all services, events or activities are open and some are operating under unique guidelines or restrictions.

CHANGES AT HABITAT FOR COVID-19: 

Habitat is following the protocols written by the Blaine County lodging association and approved by the city of Ketchum and the health department. We are following these guidelines carefully to make your stay at Habitat as safe as we can.  Please note that the following items have been removed from all units (and will be provided at check in or are available if needed from the office):

• Extra towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, tissues, and bar soap.
• Dish soap
• Hand soaps
• Dishwasher pods
• All magazines, comment cards, pens, playing cards, and instruction books
• The only thing you will find in the hall closets are spa towels.
• Removable rugs
• Inflatable mattresses

We ask that you leave all appliances plugged in (toaster, coffeemaker, and alarm clocks) this will help our housekeepers to reduce contact with surfaces you may have touched.

Our cleaning protocol now includes spraying disinfectant on all non porous surfaces, allowing it to sit on the surfaces for 10 minutes, and then cleaning with our regular cleaning chemicals. We will wipe down all remote controls, light switches, and door knobs with disinfectant.

The handrails and doorknobs will be sprayed down several times during the day depending on how busy we are.

The spa will also be wiped down with disinfectant daily. The spa will remain open for now, unless we hear from the city or health department that we have to close it down.

In your unit you will find a Ziploc bag, with dish soap, hand soap, dishwasher pods, and hand sanitizer.  At the end of your stay, these items will be refilled and disinfected for the next guest.

If you need extra paper products, linens, or an inflatable mattress, call Nick or Tamara and we will bring these things to you.

All businesses are requiring masks so please make sure you bring them with you.

 

Thank you for your support.  Together we will navigate this new normal and Habitat will be better than ever!
