Location: Elkhorn Village, Sun Valley Area, Idaho, USA View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Our condo has been carefully remodeled, with hardwood floors, a stone hearth and gas burning fireplace, high-quality furniture, including a kitchen table for six, and a table on the deck for eight, flat screen TV with DVD and X-Box (lots of games) -- but no cable TV. There are two well appointed bedrooms, each with queen beds, plus a loft bedroom that can be closed off with sliding panels, which has two twin beds in a trundle setup (plus an air bed which works well for a child). Two full baths with heated tile floors. Washer/Dryer are in the unit, with newer appliances and a fully equipped kitchen, including a gas cooktop. In the summer the expansive deck off the living room extends the living area by about 400', and has a gas barbeque (plumbed to the gas line, no tanks here) and deck furniture on which to relax and enjoy the views of Elkhorn Golf Course. Step down to the grassy areas surrounding the condos, where the kids can play and search for golf balls in the surrounding planting areas.
We're just a few steps from the Village Pool -- one of Elkhorn's two main pools, with its sauna and steam room; the Village Tennis Center; the General Store; and the Elkhorn Golf clubhouse, on the fairway of one of the holes (they keep renumbering...it used to be #9). Free KART buses pickup a few hundred yards away, it's 1 mile to Dollar Mountain, and five minutes to everything else.
Most of the condos in Elkhorn are in larger buildings, with parking lots next to the units. Bonne Vie is unique -- the garages and parking lot are clustered away from the condos, and the pathway from the parking lot meanders through the development. Our unit is the first stop on that path, and we are one side of a rare duplex building, with no units above or below our townhome; and just one wall, shared with a unit that is owned by our good friends who promise never to turn their music up! It's peaceful and quiet during all seasons. In fact, the doctor from Boise from whom we purchased is our best tenant, returning to the unit each summer for several weeks.
The adjacent unit, with an identical floorplan, is owned by our friends and may also be available for rent, enabling you to house multiple families.

Map & Owner's Profile
Sun Valley/Elkhorn - Remodeled Townhome on Elkhorn Golf Course
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Elkhorn Village
We LOVE Sun Valley. As celebrated as the winter is with Mt. Baldy and the great skiing, we enjoy the summer all that much more. We were fortunate to find a condo, which we've remodeled, half of a duplex, at the far end of the Bonne Vie Condos. Quiet, but the closest units to the parking area, and best of all, our friends own the neighboring units.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We're just a few steps from the Village Pool in Elkhorn, the General Store, and close to the Elkhorn Golf clubhouse, on the fairway of one of the holes (they keep renumbering...it used to be #9). A newly expanded deck offers views of the course in the summer, with lots of room for family gatherings and barbeques, and level grassy areas for the kids to play. Free KART buses pickup a few hundred yards away, it's 1 mile to Dollar Mountain, and five minutes to everything else.

My wife and I met in Sun Valley and have returned many times each year, now with our three kids, to enjoy all that the area has to offer our family.
