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.

We stayed here for a writing retreat and it was great, with a nice nature park and various areas for walking, stores close by, and plenty of room for everyone to have a private bedroom and space to work.
This is our favorite place to stay in the Wood River Valley. It’s the closest we can get to staying at my grandparents house and my kids love the nostalgia as much as we do. The location is perfect and it’s safe and my kids absolutely love all of the fruit trees in the backyard. This house and all of the antique furniture and housewares are beautifully kept. Margaret, the host is so great, she communicates well and has kept the check in and check out process easy and streamlined. It creates a carefree and very enjoyable stay at the little red house.

Spacious, cozy house with large backyard. Short drive to ski resort and plenty of outdoor activities. My family loved it and large backyard was convinient for our dog.
Perfect location for a ski trip in Sun Valley. Plenty of beds for everyone. Around the corner from some great restaurants. The only thing we could ask for was more comfortable seating in the front room.
We needed a place very last minute for a business trip. Grandmas cottage was perfect for just that! Beautiful backyard and plenty of space to relax at the end of the day!
The cozy cottage was just perfect for my family and I for the weekend. We had everything we needed at the house to cook and entertain ourselves while the kids played upstairs with some vintage toys and books and there was plenty of room for us all!
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.
Excellent location for walking. No snow this year but otherwise great for cross country skiing. Beautiful area and well maintained home for such an age and able to accommodate our family without spending a fortune
We actually live in this neighborhood but rented this adorable house for overflow family over Christmas. The house is so charming, clean, well-organized and comfortable for a family to hang out and dine together. Only downside is there is only one shower.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
