Cozy cabin

Loved staying here! The Chocolate cabin was well stocked with everything you could possibly need and so much more. The beds and bedding were great quality and comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit and the river just steps away from the front door, will definitely come back!

Beautiful cabin in a lovely setting close to town

Gorgeous views from a comfortable deck. Lovely furnishings and decorations. Great Chocolate Gulch hike a few steps away. Easy to bike into town.

Great location

Amazing experience! Beautiful location. Only about 9 minute drive from the town and less than an hour from Redfish Lake. I believe it was a much better experience to stay here and drive to Redfish rather than stay in the crowded, small cabins at Redfish Lake. We will be definitely returning!

Tucked away by the trail

Great cabin. Great design. Great trail access. Great town proximity. Great bed. Great DSR skies. Great fire pot. Great wolf howls. No bigfoots.

Luxurious Cabin on the Big Wood

What a great find this place was! I feel very fortunate to have spent two days there. While this beautiful home has all of the appeal of a charming cabin that sits perfectly between downtown Ketchum and the Sawtooth Wilderness, it's extremely comfortable and well appointed. The views from the porch and outdoor fire pit are amazing, and the home is very nice, clean and comfortable. I hope I'm passing through Ketchum again someday so I can stay here again!
