With its direct riverfront access, Bigwood Bliss is the ultimate getaway for fishing enthusiasts, artists, and nature lovers alike.

This quaint Ketchum cabin, once home to the valley's beloved artist Don “Bemco” Bennett, combines rustic charm with modern comfort. Inside, Bigwood Bliss offers an open-concept living layout designed for rest and relaxation. Gather around the cozy wood-burning fireplace, share meals and board games at the dining table, or prepare a feast in the fully equipped kitchen after a day of fishing or exploring nearby Sun Valley slopes.
