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 an organic yard and mature trees, surrounded by a handsome fence that offers full security to children and pets.

We had a wonderful stay at this warm, comfy home! Loved that the home is pet friendly and so easy to walk to the river for puppy splash!

We enjoyed everything about our stay. Our toddler grandchildren visited and we had a great time in the backyard with them and the dogs. Fishing right across the street was good. The location was very convenient for getting a cup of coffee on the patio. Communications with the host were perfect. We hope to return.

Pet-friendly cozy log cabin decorated with many unique carved ducks, mountain and dog pictures. Had everything my wife and I needed for our 5 night stay, with our little dog (including a fenced in back yard.). Located across the street from homes that back to the river and walking distance to Wood River Trail. Convenient drive to town without being in town. Host was highly responsive regarding the couple of minor items we brought to her attention.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
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.
