Beautiful Home
This house is perfect, very clean and was fully stocked with everything you would need. We had three couples and everyone commented on how nice everything was. A very short drive to Dollar Mountain and Bald Mountain. Unfortunately we didn’t have great snow while we were here but the beautiful house made up for it.

Couldn’t get any better.
This is a phenomenal property, which outstanding host. Our stay was everything we hoped for and more. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen amenities were top notch. It’s impeccably clean and comfortable. The location is perfect. We barely used any fuel when returning our rental car- it’s a stones throw from the market, skiing, skating, hiking, shopping. We began and ended every day cozied by the fire. Absolutely fantastic trip.

Fantastic elk horn property
This property will spoil you for renting anything on VRBO going forward. This is an amazing home, beautifully appointed with extra touches everywhere. Lovely dishes, glassware, serving platters, fine linen and towels, well stocked pantry, boot warmer for ski season, heated garage for two cars, two large desks for working vacations, and special touches like face wipes in all bathrooms, motion sensor night lights, drying racks in the expansive laundry room and fully functioning grill and fireplace! Can’t say enough about this homes location, near dollar mountain, 10 min. Drive to sun valley and town with passes to the elk horn village large spa and pool upon request. Only thing to be sure of before arriving is that you have the proper code to enter through the garage from the owner. VRBO check in info is incorrect. Highly recommend this home.

Holidays 2022
Amazing home in a great location...5 star across the board! Our family of 4 spent two weeks over the Christmas holiday 2022 (2 adults/2 adult children) and had one of our most memorable times in Sun Valley. There is not one detail that has been overlooked in the home...the house is warm, quiet, and comfortable...the kitchen is stocked with everything and all high quality...the tv and sonos were great to watch football games and play holiday music...and the beds were super-comfortable and had high quality linens. The perfect ski home...I can't say enough good about the house and location...we hope to be back in the coming years/seasons.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Ferguson

Host profile image
We've been coming to Sun Valley since 1994 and we love the Wood River Valley because of the amazing recreational opportunities it offers. We've visited a lot of resort towns and although Sun Valley is the oldest resort town in the United States, it's also the best, since it was designed from the beginning to be a resort town. The 30+ miles of paved bike paths around the valley are outstanding. With world class fishing, downhill/cross country skiing, biking, hiking, art galleries, restaurants, and the best public access to recreation opportunities make Sun Valley the best.
In short, we love it here!

Why they chose this property

Elkhorn Village is surprising enjoyable, quite, and central access to everything. Our property is well maintained and clean; its not your typical rental because we live in it on occasion so it's well stocked for your stay. The Elkhorn amenities are a huge bonus with 2 relaxing pools (in Summer), a large hot tub for that post ski soak, discounted golf, and outstanding tennis courts. We hope you enjoy the place as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We take great pride in our place, feel very fortunate to own a beautiful home in Sun Valley and strive to provide a quality stay for our guests. We stay here about 10 weeks a year so the place is outfitted better than most of the other rentals.
Some highlights:
-Awesome Kitchen & Great room, open/bright floor plan
-Relaxing backyard & waterfall
-Each bedroom is a 'suite' with its own private bath
-Know the weather before you head out with our Davis Instruments on site weather station.
