Charming Grandma Chic home in the Wood River Valley steps from the bike path

It is a charming, welcoming five-bedroom home between a plethora of outdoor activities, including Sun Valley's world-famous ski resort, renowned golf courses, and Silver Creek--a worldwide destination for fly fishing. This is the perfect location to enjoy all that Wood River Valley and the Sawtooth Mountains have to offer. The house's yard is adjacent to the 35-mile bike path that runs from Galena Lodge to the South end of Bellevue.
This 100-year-old house radiates charm and makes you feel welcome and at home from the moment you step onto the front porch. You are welcomed by decades of warmth and love from the family that has lived there for over 65 years. The house has updated bedrooms and half bath. There is a southern-facing dining room with large windows and a dining table. The room also has a gas stove for relaxing evenings to read, eat, and play games.
Fully equipped retro kitchen and welcoming living room. Large, private, backyard teeming with trees, fruit, and a fantastic large picnic table for eating, relaxing with friends and family, and enjoying beautiful days and evenings that the valley offers. The family-friendly yard offers hours of exploration and fun.
This house is only 10 minutes from the Hailey Airport and has great local restaurants within walking distance. It is a 5-minute walk from the house takes you to the Howard Preserve nature path along the Big Wood River, which takes you to nature quickly.
Stay awhile or for just a few days and see for yourself why this area is such a gem and why people come back year after year.

Great house with plenty of bedrooms for skiing Sun Valley
Older house with plenty of nick nacks, warm and very clean. Spacious bedrooms, well stocked with supplies for cooking and meals. We liked the town of Bellevue, the easy access to the house and Mahoney's bar was right around the corner as were some other restaurants. It was convenient to drive up to Sun Valley for skiing everyday with only a 25 minute drive. Just watch your speeds as its pretty well enforced. Maggie was great to deal with and the one item we asked for (gas grill) they took out for us and made sure it had gas. Our group really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back when in the area again.

Our second time staying here, and it was as excellent as the first. The house is very comfortable and clean, the check-in process was simple, and communication with the host was prompt. I was even mailed an item I had left behind at the property, I'm very impressed and sure to return.

Great place, great location
Had a great stay and would book again. It truly was Grandma's house, Complete with random books from generations throughout the house. It was like a time capsule and I would not change a thing. We had 3 families with our kids up for a hockey tournament for 3 nights and splitting the cost it was cheaper than a hotel and much more comfortable.

Family Thanksgiving.
A time to gather and Margaret’s place suited our needs perfectly. We don’t have a large enough house to host my entire family so we were trying to find something close by. Margarets place was 3 blocks away and we could easily walk back and forth which was wonderful. Super cozy and quaint. Thanks!

Refreshing charm in this home. It is comfortable, welcoming, and feels familiar, like visiting your own grandparents' house. A relaxing and effortless stay. The yard is lovely, private, and quiet. Excellent location, we enjoyed the out-the-door access to the paved multi-use trail and the ability to walk to several local restaurants. Everything was as-advertised in the home, there were no difficulties or unpleasant surprises. There were, however, good surprises: the size of the lovely yard and the breadth and scope of the books in the home were wonderful to discover. This home feels like a loving tribute to the family who lived here.

Just like Grandma's
It was truly like staying at Grandma's house, in the best way possible. We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen can become a bit of a bottle neck, but the house itself is very large. We like to cook and this is the most well stocked kitchen I've seen in a rental. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable and the outdoor space was just lovely.

Quaint and comfy, fun yard for kids
Despite some mishaps with communication and checking in, we ended up really enjoying our stay. The house accomodated our group of extended family and the kids had SO much fun with the toys in the double attic bedroom and running around and swinging in the yard. The house has a lot of vintage furnishings and decor which was fun but the beds were pretty comfy and modern. Overall, enjoyed it. Location was great. Would come again.

Old but still nice
Staying here was like living in a museum. It was very old but fun to show the kids. They found antiques everywhere. The place had everything we needed and was smack in the middle of Bellevue which was an adorable little town full of super kind people. We enjoyed waking around the area. The only down side is that with the antiques came the “old stuff” smell. The home could have used some airing out. But if that doesn’t bother you this is a great find. It was quirky and fun. Oh, and the house plants were beautiful 😁!
