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.

We spent a few nights here with our two kids and yellow lab. The property is exactly as described and shown in the photos. The location is hard to beat at the price. It is definitely quaint, with an intentional retro feel. The owner was accommodating and easy to work with.

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!

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.

This log cabin was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 older kids. Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere with lots of books and outdoor-themed decor. The location was great - close to skiing and downtown. Would recommend!

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.

Very hard to find someone who will share their home with two big Labs. The answer is someone with three Goldens.

Perfect size for our family and Location was perfect near town, bike trail and Bald Mountain. Great outdoor space and views. After a few recommendations to the owner about outdoor comfort for future guests (including new lounge chairs) , she was very accommodating and already making changes. Would stay here again.

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.

This was a wonderful place to stay, perfect location walking distance to most everything in town. The house was exactly as the photos showed. The patio between the homes was a nice outdoor dining area, we had access to a garage to store our bikes and everything about the home was laid out and explained. We would love to stay again next year. Thank you

Charming log cabin with all the amenities. Maybe a lounge chair or two outside would be more comfortable to read/hang out on other than a picnic table. Very quiet and walkable to shopping and hiking. Very quiet neighborhood! Would highly recommend!

We brought Sky, our 18-month-old golden retriever, to Ketchum with us. This property was ideal for Sky and the four adults who accompanied her. There is a great fenced side yard where Sky could run and play (and nap). The adults enjoyed the comfortable log cabin -- perfect for reading and relaxing. If you're like us, you'll love it too.

This place really worked for us. Very comfortable and nice layout. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms is nice for couples. The location is near the groomed wood river trail that allows for an easy walk into Ketchum or to River Run lift at Sun Valley. Dog friendly is a nice feature, as one couple brought their pup. This place is a charm. Would recommend.

Mary Ann’s home has a great location close to Ketchum but is also private and quiet. The two bedrooms upstairs gave our kids their privacy, too. The kitchen was well stocked, and the living areas were cozy. We loved being able to have our dog with us. Would stay again. Thanks, Mary Ann!

This cozy hideaway, is sitting in a prime location to slopes and town, but you feel hidden away. We adored the charm of the cabin ambiance. Cute fishing/duck/winter log cabin with all the amenities you need in for a wonderful stay. We had lots of extra snow, but the wonderful owner took care of all our needs.She was extremely nice and easy to reach!!! We hope to come again soon.
