WELCOME to 515 Wood River Drive, one of the original fishing homes in Ketchum, Idaho! We face the Big Wood River, with great fishing year 'round. And we're just a short walk to town, the bike path, and Bald Mountain -- Sun Valley's premier peak with great winter skiing.

Our authentic, beautifully preserved log home has been completely remodeled: two bedrooms and two baths upstairs and a large master bedroom and bath downstairs. But, we’ve retained the original log-cabin look of the original house. We were in love with the house when we first saw it; we love it even more after our extensive and careful remodeling. And, we’ve attempted to bring inside some of the outside that is historic Ketchum, the Ketchum we love. The kitchen’s hickory cabinets blend with the color of the logs of the outer walls. The white tile reflects the snow in season, while the forest green grouting and other green accent colors — like the green leather and upholstery in the living room — reflect the evergreens and grass of the spring and summer.

In keeping with our affection for the house, which we want to share with you, you will find a number of fragile wood carvings — of fish, beaver, raccoon, and bear — that we commissioned a Montana artist to create. We had another artist capture the feeling of Idaho in oil paintings you’ll find displayed in the living room, the master bedroom, and the hallway. The house is light and sunny; windows overlook the yard and the Big Wood River. It’s not a very large home; very few homes in this area, many 70 years old and even older, are not large … at least by today’s standards. But our house is charming and cozy.

The house comfortably sleeps 6 in beds. In special cases we can accommodate up to 8 people (please inquire if interested).

We love dogs — I am privileged to own two adorable Goldens myself — and have designed the house to accommodate the needs and safety of our four-legged friends. The property is completely private with mature trees surrounded by a handsome fence that offers full security to children and pets.

Grandma's log cabin in the woods
It is difficult to find a property where dogs are welcome, and we were grateful to find this house. Mary Ann is a very attentive host. When we left early because the internet speed is super slow and the pillows are hard/compressed/very uncomfortable, she said she would get right on fixing these issues. I would also say the whole house needs a serious decluttering: too many knicknacks, especially decoy ducks, too many books piled everywhere, and too many kitchen things. One or two of each kind of kitchen utensil is enough, as are one or two cutting boards - not half a dozen of each. Food cupboard is overflowing, expiration dates need checking. Lots of pots and pans - really way too many. Yard is beautiful, great location.

Ketchum Wedding
My wife and family were in the Ketchum area for a few days and we brought out two Labs. Regardless of the dogs being very well accommodated, the house and location was nearly perfect. We loved the home, area and accessibility it offered us. If you are a cook, you will find more than your average 'rental' kitchen stock. As there is no perfect possibility in some minds, I would consider bringing an updated bedroom pillow. The provided comfort was basic as one could expect. But we loved the comfort. Thanks for the rental.

Unfortunately, our stay was not like we expected, but it had nothing to do with the host. We were supposed to be a family of five, but none of our children made it due to flight and airport issues, so it was just my husband and myself. The house was great.. We didn’t need the upstairs bedrooms after all

This is a cute cabin in Sun Valley that is nestled among big trees, close to the Bigwood River, and an easy walk into town. It has a lovely, private patio that we spent hours on each evening. The host, Mary Ann, is friendly and quick to respond to questions. We will definitely stay here again!

Ketchum Stay
We spent a month at Mary Ann's house and it was perfect. We could walk to downtown Ketchum and the River Run base. Our dogs loved walking around the neighborhood and the nearby bike path. The house was comfortable and well equipped and any questions we had were easily answered with a review of the many instruction sheets placed throughout the house. The Village Market was very convenient. We had a great time - and appreciate that Mary Ann is willing to share her house with others.

So peaceful!!!
This cabin pairs nicely with the laid- back Ketchum vibe. Located in a quiet forested neighborhood a few blocks from downtown, this dog friendly home is surrounded by tall pine and aspen trees. Our golden retrievers loved the large securely fenced yard. Inside, the home was very clean. An extensive book collection throughout the house will encourage you to put down the phone. A great place to relax and recharge. We will definitely come back. Mary Ann is a great host. Steve and Teena and Luka and Murphy.

Great cabin in Ketchum
We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy warm home. It is very close to the River Run lift and town. We stayed for 4 weeks and got a lot of snow during the first several weeks. The homeowner has very reliable services to make sure all was safe and properly taken care of. The house has a well stocked kitchen - all the tools needed to make delicious meals. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms are small but adequate. The owner was easy to reach and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the home, the town the skiing and the other winter activities of the area.

Very comfortable and functional property! Kitchen well stocked…very comfy home. Great, quiet neighborhood location. The back yard was nice and the garage bay access was even nicer! Bring your own shower supplies. Bring your own Roku or Chrome stick. If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs; if the upstairs twin bedroom is in use, there’s a lot of noise transference as is common in the cabin-type homes.
