History

Once known as Port Ketchum then Snug Harbor, this site was one of Grand Lake’s Oldest Resorts

Back in 1939 when the Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees was brand new, several new resorts were going in along the water’s edge. One of those resorts was Port Ketchum. The land for Port Ketchum was first purchased from J.E. Ketchum by the late Doctor William M. Finley and his wife Gay. The Finleys came to the harbor as newlyweds and built the first cabins there...21 charming rock cottages with the best of facilities available at the time. The Finleys lived on the premises until 1958. Dick and Shirley Wedge bought the resort in March of 1969, and had guests for the next 30 years. "We have guests that have been bringing their children. It makes us feel proud that they care enough to keep coming back," stated Shirley. The resort was always a favorite retreat for vacationers, honeymooners, or just weekenders from all over. The scenic view of the harbor lined with docks and filled with boats of every description and surrounded by gently rolling tree covered hills was, and still is, very peaceful.

In 1998, Marsha and Gary Butler purchased the Main House and several additional cottages, and now have Summerside Cottages. It is still snuggled safely in the protected cove just south of Ketchum, and everything is still very much as it was in the beginning - charming, old fashioned country cottages, with a touch of magic.
