These larger properties are perfect for family reunions, bachelorette parties, even destination weddings in which the guest list is more intimate and the guests and wedding party want to stay together, sharing all the wonderful wedding moments. No matter what size your traveling group is, however, or how large of a property you are seeking, all of our Idaho vacation rentals will provide all the comforts of home while also offering a long list of luxury amenities, ensuring that our spaces will be an integral part of your vacation experience.
A Tour of Comfort in Our Sun Valley Luxury Home Rentals
Your Sun Valley or Ketchum (we do offer some properties in nearby Ketchum as well) vacation begin with the turn of the doorknob attached to the front door of the rental you chose to make your own, and as you stand on the front porch, luggage at your side and the summer sun shining brightly down upon you, the anticipation you feel will reach a fevered pitch. Open the door and step inside spaces that are light, bright, and welcoming and comfort awaits you in every room, starting with the living room of our beautiful abodes. Plush sofas and comfortable chairs are arranged so as to give occupants equally clear views of state-of-the-art televisions, often mounted above the mantel of large stone fireplaces and the views of the countryside that can be clearly seen through walls of windows. You may not be able to resist striding over to the window and peering out on a world that is heartbreakingly beautiful or maybe you will find yourself sinking into the plush depths of the sofa, propping your feet up on the coffee table before you, and picking up the remote to surf through the channels, relaxing a minute before you continue your tour of comfort.
Dining Rooms Are Where Families Gather
Although open concept floor plans have become quite common in today’s world, our Idaho escapes will often offer a more traditional floor plan, still remaining relatively open while offering cozy spaces, such as in the dining rooms, in which families can gather, dine, relax, and play. Always offering enough seats for every seat in your traveling party, the dining tables will also provide the elbow room you need to eat heartily and crow loudly when you win at a game of Monopoly. Puzzle pieces may be strewn across one end of the dining table, encouraging guests to work together at odd moments, trying to complete the puzzle before it is time to pack your luggage and fly away home once again. And whether you cooked a meal in our fully equipped kitchens or choose to pick up a pizza from the Smoky Mountain Pizzeria & Grill, located at 200 Sun Valley Road E in Ketchum, padded or cushioned chairs will ensure that you can sit, eat, chat, or play as long as you like without feeling uncomfortable or in pain.

What Our Guests Are Saying

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!

I just wanted to share how amazing our trip to Elkhorn was! The highlight for me was definitely the sauna; it was the perfect way to unwind after a beautiful day out in the snow. The property is breathtaking - we'll be coming back!

Our stay at Elkhorn Estate was legitimately magical. 2 out of 3 of my morning showers I watched elk grazing around the property. It was surreal. One day the elk were walking so close to the outside of the house I could have actually opened the door and walked out to touch them if I was brave enough. The house itself has so many amenities it's crazy. You don't need to leave the house at all to have a fantastic time in Sun Valley. But when you go into town, it's just as great as the house with the restaurants and activities you can get into. Absolute 10/10 I will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend Elkhorn Estate to anyone who wants to experience Sun Valley.
Tranquility Is Important
While we are still discussing comfort, we can’t forget to bring the tour to the bedroom where comfort reigns supreme and tranquility is as important as the silky soft linens that top our premium mattresses. Your daylight hours are going to be spent hiking, shopping, and exploring all that Sun Valley has to offer and at night you will need to sleep deep in order to wake the next morning and enjoy more outdoor activities. The bedrooms of our Abode Sun Valley retreats are designed with peace, tranquility, and a good night’s sleep in mind and whether you fall asleep watching the televisions that are often mounted to the wall opposite the bed or after soaking in the deep tub of the en suite bath, your nights will be restful and your mornings will be surprising as you awaken each day, not feeling tired as you normally do, but feeling rested and ready to face a new day of Idaho summer adventures.
Modern Kitchens, Rustic Cabin Décor
The contrast between high end luxury appliances and a rustic cabin décor is sure to become your newest obsession, so let’s take this tour to the fully equipped kitchen and explore all that lies in wait. These modern spaces are built to be used and although we do hope you do explore the culinary landscape of Sun Valley, we also encourage you to spend some time trying out the name brand appliances you may have always dreamed to have in your own kitchen at home. These spaces are the heart of the home, offering breakfast bars lined with barstools where the kids can sit, chat, and snack on whatever delicacy mom has provided, making guests feel at home even as they are far from their own homes.
Family Barbecues, Bubbly Hot Tubs, and Fires Under the Stars
Spending as much time outside as you possibly can may be the first order of business during your summer vacation in Idaho and the backyards of our Sun Valley, Idaho rental properties offer many ways to encourage you to do just that. Multiple seating areas, including outdoor dining tables, will ensure that you will be comfortable as you enjoy a family barbecue (grills are included too!) Hot tubs bubbling under the stars and firepits surrounded by more places to seat will help guests stay warm on a chilly night. The Idaho landscape deserves to be appreciated and as you gather with your family, savoring every moment of this idyllic summer adventure, you may find yourself thinking that life just doesn’t get any better than this. And we think you might be right!
But Wait, There’s More
Sometimes there just aren’t enough words to describe all that is offered in our Idaho summer sanctuaries, especially as we offer so many more luxury amenities for your relaxation purposes. Game rooms furnished with gaming tables and extra televisions, fireplaces in some bedrooms, saunas in larger homes, and fitness rooms with professional equipment and a selection of yoga gear as well; all of these extras work together to give visitors a vacation they will never forget.
