About this house rental

Casually-elegant, cozy and dramatic, this dog-friendly (2+yrs, certain breeds, neutered, vaccinated, pre-approved, extra fee), non-smoking, Artist's 2-story log-constructed home w/garage and fenced organic trout-friendly garden is in a quiet wooded GREAT location year-around! MERV-13 filter on new gas central air furnace enhances air quality & blocks tiny smoke and virus particles. The cleaning fee varies by the number of guests (and pet).

Walk 5-10 minutes on the Big Wood riverside path or ski/bike trail to Sun Valley Bald Mountain River Run Resort with gondola, lifts, trails, day lodge. Anglers and dogs can relish the nearby river's trout-fishing and wading spots. Gardeners, kids and well-behaved dogs may appreciate the fenced organic garden (no pesticides - ever!), berries and cherry tree.

This artfully-furnished home is convenient to all town amenities and activities, indoors and out - 1/2 to 1 mile to theatres, restaurants, bars, galleries, shops, parks, the fabulous Y (swim, yoga,+). Paired with just one other home in a duplex building (not a high-density complex!) with trees and gardens all around, each is privately owned and quietly enjoyed (no commons) on a residential street with no through traffic . Hear the river at night!

Two bedrooms, a den/loft, and two full baths, plus a "bonus" room in the attached garage, can accommodate up to 6 guests in 3-4 beds. Savor wonderful mountains and tree views from every room. Setback from the street, the driveway can accommodate 3 cars in addition to the one-car garage, even in snowy Winter.

From the ground-level entry, step into dramatic vaulted 2-story living & dining areas with spectacular river-rock gas fireplace. Teak and leather furnishings and owner's fine-art photographs + other Idaho and Montana artists' beautiful wood sculptures and paintings portray casual elegance with a nature and wildlife theme.

The large kitchen should please most holiday cooks and its counter seating enhances cozy breakfast, tea or wine sharing in social gatherings, while extending meal seating beyond the 6-person teak dining table.

A 50" flatscreen HD TV may be viewed from dining, living and kitchen areas. A separate TV upstairs allows multiple program choices. Basic cable TV, internet and WiFi services are provided.

The downstairs Queen bedroom with extended area (and new twin bed) faces and offers a doorway into the private tree-lined garden with picnic table and side porch (new in 2015), with peaceful and unobstructed views of Baldy mountain .

Upstairs is a King bedroom and full bath. There is also an open den/loft with Queen Japanese bed (opens onto floor), TV and comfy leather recliner - and VIEWS!

Some breeds of adult (2+yrs) neutered, well-mannered dogs with "credentials" (health and pest treatment verified) may be welcome, with pre-approval and extra fee.

Welcome to my mountain home!

Our family had an amazing time in this old school cabin- the location was unbelievable! We were able to walk to town, river run and just about anywhere in Ketchum. The neighborhood is amazing as well. The cabin itself is comfortable and cool in the summer months. We had plenty of space and it was pretty clean and well stocked. Owners were super responsive and checked up on us which was a plus. Overall we had an amazing week!

We had a comfortable, cozy stay at Natalie's Artist Home! Her photography and art adorns the house and gives a great log cabin vibe; we used the fireplace and cooked quite frequently. Slept great, very quiet. ~10 minute walk to the base of the mountain and main gondola and lift. Easy to walk our dog in the neighborhood. Easy 10-20 minute walk to anywhere in town. Natalie was very responsive and easy to plan the trip with. Thank you Natalie!!

We enjoyed our stay here - 2 BRs and a loft with a floor bed. It's as advertised - dated, with quite a mix of dishes, linens, etc. It's like staying at a friend's place. The bonus room by the garage made a great locker room for skiing. Host is easy to work with. We would come back.

We loved this home -- it felt like we were in the woods far from town, yet we could walk into the town of Ketchum in less than 15 minutes. And we could walk to the Gondola for amazing hiking opportunities. The home was very well stocked and we felt right at home. We hope to be back!

Our family was there for a long weekend and it was perfect for us! Our teen son loved the bonus room for himself. It was like his own little apartment lol. The street is quiet, it's a short drive to downtown Ketchum, and we just felt so at home! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your place!
