Local eateries like Nourishme and Aroma provide refreshing post-hike treats, while Bigwood Bread Bakery is a go-to for fresh bread.
For grocery shopping, Moore frequents Atkinsons’, a family-owned store where the next generation grew up alongside her daughters.
One of her family’s favorite casual spots is Grumpy’s, a no-frills burger joint known for its long lines and legendary fries.
A perfect summer evening might include attending the Sun Valley Music Festival, where locals gather on blankets and picnic under the open sky while enjoying live orchestral performances. Moore’s property sits alongside a river, providing a serene escape from the outside world.
During the warmer months, she and her family take advantage of the water, whether it’s for swimming in their favorite spot, the “Redneck Riviera,” or enjoying activities like kayaking, river rafting, and fly-fishing. Wildlife is abundant, and it’s not uncommon for the actress to spot a herd of elk in her backyard.
However, her love for Idaho isn’t just about the lifestyle — it’s also about family.
Even after her divorce from Willis, the two remained close, and their bond is reflected in their proximity, as Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, lived just a mile away.
In the winter, the families often gather indoors, engaging in fiercely competitive games such as Mexican Train dominoes.
Moore is also an admitted homebody, happily spending her downtime binge-watching British crime dramas. When she does venture out, one of her favorite local treasures is Sun Valley’s hidden hot springs.
However, she remains tight-lipped about their exact locations, preferring to keep some of the area’s magic a mystery. “If people really want it, they have to go and earn it,” she teased.
But while she may have successfully kept some parts of her Idaho retreat a mystery, one unexpected detail about her home was put on full display in July 2020 — thanks to Moore herself.
Taking to Instagram, she shared her excitement about an upcoming project, posting a series of candid photos from inside her house.
“Excited to finally share what I’ve been working on! First episode of #DirtyDiana drops Monday, July 13. Trailer in bio 🖤,” she captioned the post.
In the photos Moore posted, she was seated in her bathroom, but it was unlike any bathroom most people had ever seen.
The room featured a plush brown carpet covering the floor, a floral-patterned couch positioned right in front of a wooden vanity, and a small wooden table propped up as a makeshift workstation.
In the background, a large sunken bathtub was visible, sitting beneath a statue, while various personal items, including beauty products and toiletries, were scattered across the counters.
Reactions poured in, with users expressing everything from curiosity to bewilderment.
“I meant to share that I have the exact same carpet in my bathroom. Brown shag — bathroom 😂😂😂,” one person joked.
Another added, “Why is there CARPET IN THE BATHROOM???” while a third typed, “Is this your bathroom inspiration?”
A fourth netizen shared, “Carpet in a bathroom? Weird…” while someone else asked, “Why is there a toilet in the living room?” Another person wrote, “We just gonna ignore the bathroom and living room have become one.”
As the internet continued to buzz with jokes and questions about her bathroom, Moore finally addressed the controversy during a July 2020 interview with Seth Meyers.
With humor, she explained that the design choice that caught everyone’s attention wasn’t actually hers.
“[…] This is the house, again, that my children grew up in and that originally was a Bruce Willis choice,” she revealed.
The actress explained that living in the mountains meant dealing with cold floors, so she never minded the warmth underfoot. “So, it’s never bothered me,” she admitted. “It’s actually quite good.”
But it wasn’t just the carpet that had people talking.
Many questioned why there was a floral couch positioned near the vanity. As it turned out, the couch wasn’t a permanent fixture — it was simply a practical solution.
Moore revealed that she had transformed the bathroom into a makeshift recording studio for her podcast “Dirty Diana.”
“[…] We had to find the place for the best sound. So, I did a test in my closet.
I did in various places. What came back is that the bathroom had the best sound [sic],” she explained.
Since she needed a comfortable space to sit for long hours of recording, she brought in a small couch — a sentimental piece she had originally made for her children when they were young.
She even admitted that the most surprising part of the viral reaction wasn’t the critique itself, but what people didn’t notice. “I was most disappointed that nobody commented that the couch…is a miniature couch,” she laughed.
Despite the internet’s fixation on her bathroom décor, Demi Moore took the attention in her stride, laughing off the controversy.
