From the first time he came in 1939, Ernest Hemingway loved Idaho. An avid hunter and fisherman, he appreciated the vast great outdoors of the state. It was recreational and inspirational to him. Parts of "Islands in the Stream," "The Garden of Eden" and "A Moveable Feast" were written while in the Wood River Valley. Hemingway finished one of his most famous novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls, in Sun Valley Lodge room 206. Hemingway also found solace and anonymity here. He was described as a quiet, reserved man who spent most of his time writing and enjoying Idahos incredible climate and terrain. Enjoy the warmth and inspiration this 807 sq. ft. suite provides.
