Dog-Friendly Fishing/Ski Log Home by River/Mountain – a Feeling of Old Ketchum

* * * * *

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.

Our family of 4- 2 adults, 2 children (aged 10 and 12), and our family dog had a wonderful time here. We thoroughly enjoyed the close proximity to River Run Lodge and being able to walk our dog on the wood river trail. The fenced backyard was also amazing to have, especially in the snow, for my kiddos and dog to play in. Hope to return soon!

Mary Ann was extremely responsive and very easy to reach. She had also provided the names of the property manager. cleaning service. We had a snow storm while there, and the cleaning service was out early the next morning. The location was excellent for River Run and for walking trails, and the grocery store was only a 3-minute drive.

This is a warm and inviting home with ample space, a well equipped kitchen, and comfortable furniture and beds. It has character inside and out, and is located in a quiet corner of Ketchum that is within easy walking distance of town. Shaded and cooler in the warm summer months and cozy in the winter, it is a great spot all year long.

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.
