When Kristie Wolfe first saw the ship-shaped home—half of it slipping into a small Salmon, Idaho lake—she knew anyone else would knock it down, but she couldn’t let that happen. Someone had built this fantastical house in the 1960s, seemingly just for fun, long before social media turned whimsical builds into viral sensations (like Kristie's hobbit home, potato hotel, and fire lookouts).
Five years ago, she began her rescue mission, hauling lumber from the water, shoring up the structure, and bringing the shipwreck back to life. Each floor steps down the hillside, creating voids underneath—spaces Kristie has turned into hidden rooms, unexpected corners that make the house feel like something out of a storybook.
Now, the transformation is full of hidden magic: a secret subterranean room, concealed beneath furniture and a once-crumbling storage shed reborn as an ornate Captain’s Quarters straight out of Beauty and the Beast.

After our first video with Kristie, the original owners reached out. She learned the man who built it worked at the local lumber yard, handpicking the best wood for his passion project. Now, decades later, Kristie has salvaged those very boards, repurposing them into her own version of a nautical dream home. What was once a wreck is now a floating fairy tale—rescued not just from collapse, but from being forgotten.
Kristie Wolfe's DIY Shipwreck Home in remote Idaho is a world—and a work—of wonder. If any home can inspire fantasy adventures, from Peter Pan to The Count of Monte Cristo, this is it.
