Although you may think of the Sun Valley area as primarily a winter destination spot, actually offering America’s first destination ski resort as well as being the spot where the first chair lift came into play, this region is famous for being a four-seasons getaway. Summers in our mountain town are especially wonderful, as we spend our hours hiking along wooded trails, fishing in local rivers and ponds, and on those warm and lazy summer days, swimming in crystal-clear pools. You too can enjoy this traditional seasonal activity when you choose one of our Sun Valley vacation rentals with a pool, enhancing a getaway that is destined to be one you will never forget.
Is There Anything Better?
Your summer journey to Sun Valley will transport you back in time to the days when the hours stretched out in an endless array of possibilities and each morning was a new opportunity to play hard and relax even harder. Adulting may have taken all those magical moments away, but Abode Sun Valley will bring them all back, reminding you how to be a kid again, even as you are now the parent with kids of your own. The homes we offer in this area are designed to stand out even as they blend in with the natural landscape, built of wood, stone, and glass, and when you step inside for the very first time, you will feel the Abode Sun Valley difference and think to yourself, is there anything better than this?
Interiors That Welcome
Serenity greets you when the door swings open and the large spaces filled with light and warmth will make you immediately feel welcomed and at home. Follow the paths created by luxury materials, such as wood or even slate, and begin your exploration of the wonders found inside. Living rooms offering floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the views of Idaho countryside may also provide your first glimpse of the pool where you will be spending much of your outside time, building the anticipation until you can’t hold back any longer and do the very first cannonball of the season. But first, take a moment to test out that sofa that will play a starring role in movie watching sessions, family conversations, and impromptu naps from which you will awaken feeling refreshed and recharged. This space is designed for hanging out and chilling, and the state-of-the-art television will help you do both.

What Our Guests Are Saying
Gary Dordick
Elkhorn Estate is truly immaculate. The property is breathtaking and unbelievably spacious—it’s truly massive! Our group had the most amazing time staying here. It's clear that a ton of thought was put into the space, and every detail has been meticulously maintained; they even have their own hats! The beds in particular were incredibly comfortable. The estate is great for relaxing indoors, enjoying Sun Valley, or a cozy and luxe comfortable stay inside the house. Everything feels elegant and well thought out. If you're looking for a top-tier getaway, this place exceeds all expectations!
Devin Sousa
Just wanted to say that my stay at the Elkhorn Estate was incredible. The extensively high ceilings paired with immaculate views of the mountainside and ski resort make for the ultimate weekend getaway experience. The spacious place easily accommodated our big group and made it comfortable and convenient. The extra large fireplace made hanging out in the living room extra cozy and comforting. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
Chaz Pilarcik
Elkhorn Estate was the highlight of our Sun Valley trip and truly one for the books. The property is both stunning with outstanding amenities that exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail throughout made our stay feel extra special. It’s very rare to find a property that combines the luxury of a five-star resort with the charm of a cozy mountain cabin, but Elkhorn Estate strikes that perfect balance. Highly recommend it—again and again.
Families Gather Here
The dining rooms and fully equipped kitchens of our summer sanctuaries offer another place for families to gather and rejoice in being together. These are the spaces where family meals will be prepared and devoured, where board games will be played, and where secret family recipes will be revealed as parents pass on the ingredients to the next generation. Cheerful and bright, our gourmet kitchens may even convince travelers seeking leisure that cooking at least one meal would be a great idea! And in the dining rooms, as dad jokes are groaned over, family stories are rehashed, and more vacation plans are made, these moments will be the ones that draw you closer together, cementing the idea that an Idaho summer vacation was the best idea you have had this year.
Plunge into Fun
Now, chances are the pool you are about to take the plunge in will be a community one, but the joy you will feel when your warm skin hits cool waters will not change. The summer temps in Sun Valley rarely top the mid-80s, ensuring that you will enjoy the fact that the pool is heated and because there are three pools at the resort, you never have to worry about it being overcrowded. If the house you chose does have its own private pool in the backyard, Abode Sun Valley is known for its luxurious amenities, your swim sessions won’t be cut off when night falls and every one knows that a nighttime swim is one of the worlds biggest luxuries. Either way, the backyard of your beautiful Idaho escape will offer plenty of ways to have fun, including ping pong tables in some, hot tubs in others, and dining and seating options in all. Grilling the catch of the day on modern barbecues is another luxury you can enjoy, devouring the tender flesh as the sun sets over the mountains, signifying the end of another beautiful day in paradise.
