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, older 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!

    The location of this place is excellent for either downhill skiing, catching the bus for the Boulder Mountain Tour race, or just strolling downtown Ketchum. The fireplace is welcoming and relaxing.

    I’m tempted to write a bad review to scare people away, because I never want to miss out on booking this property. What an absolutely perfect stay in Sun Valley - we couldn’t have asked for more. Beautiful home, location, decor, all hits.

    In this quiet neighborhood in deep winter the snow rises head-high along the meticulously plowed driveway. Warm beds, fit for Goldilocks, with ample quilts, cozy carpets and fireplace, logs well caulked, close views of the mountain, wood sculpture of a bear cub peeking over the upstairs railing, a kitchen with every spice and enough coffee to wake up for a week and most every appliance and knife and cookware, and a couple of bottles of wine (pro-bono), and meticulous accommodations by the host, including a few placards of detailed instructions on how to live in this home.

    This home is in a quiet area, yet close to everything we needed. The beds were quite comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed, and there was plenty of room to park in the driveway. A new gas stove has just been installed in the living room; that is a nice touch. I would definitely stay here again.

    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!
