Sawtooth City Elegance, 360° views, loads of sun, peace and quiet

If peace and tranquility is what you are looking for, we've got it. Rest and rejuvenation, we've got it. Outdoor adventure, can't get any better. Needing a little culture, just drive the 40 minute scenic byway to Ketchum/Sun Valley and you'll find yourself in a small town with lots of flare; art galleries, symphonies, concerts, nice restaurants and more.
We call our home Eagle's Nest. It is a beautiful log house sitting atop a hill in the Sawtooth Valley. The majestic living room windows face the Sawtooth Mountains. You will never get tired of that view, but walk around the 360° deck and you will see there is a magnificent view in every direction.

We are located within the first-ever Gold Tier Dark Sky Preserve in the U.S., making the night sky views stunning. You won't believe how many stars are up there. The stars are dazzling given that there are no city lights within 100 miles.

There a 2 large bedrooms upstairs, one with a king sized bed, the other with a queen and a twin. These two bedrooms have views of the Sawtooth mountains as well. Downstairs there is a second master bedroom with a queen sized bed and a twin, a large playroom/media area and a 4th bedroom with 2 twin beds. There is a trundle bed in the play room.

Alturus lake is 7 miles away, Redfish lake is a 24 mile drive as is the quaint western town of Stanley. Smiley Creek store and restaurant is .6 miles down the hill. You could easily walk or bike to have a meal (open seasonally).

Fabulous trails for the mountain biker and/or hiker abound in the Sawtooth area. Easy walks all the way up to rigorous and rugged hiking, biking or even climbing are near by. Some of these trails are available right out the front door. For a day you'd rather sit a bit, try a river trip down the famous "river of no return", the Salmon river; or float the lazy river near Alturus lake.

We have a fire pit, well stocked kitchen, beach towels, coolers, and beach chairs for your use. We live locally, and will do everything we can to meet your needs.
