Our house has a fully remodeled and stocked kitchen with granite counter tops, lots of cabinet space, floors that have been refinished, InstaHot, new dishwasher. Additionally the laundry room and the entry way have also been refinished. Please see our photographs on this site to see our beautiful new updates.

Views of Mt. Baldy and surounding mountains are enjoyed from the floor to ceiling windows on the main floor.

This serene setting is the perfect spot for year-round vacations. Surrounded by aspen trees and a private pond out back, enjoy fly fishing in your own backyard, pedal your bike to the bike path two blocks away and ride to the Harker Center swimming pool , to the town of Ketchum or strap on a fly rod and head down to the Big Wood River (about 1 mile) and if you feel really ambitious bring your bikes and ride into Hailey (12 miles one way) for lunch. Step outside the front door and walk two blocks to the bike path and from there are many trails which take you up the hillsides for some beautiful hiking. During the warm summer days, we have AIR-CONDITIONING, for added comfort or sit out on the back decks (three of them) and enjoy the serenity of the aspens and the mountains.

After a busy day of activity there is nothing like coming home and cooking a great dinner in the open concept kitchen and living room and gathering at the game table, center island and dining table. Enjoy a multitude of boardgames located in in the hutch. Kids can relax in Bedroom 3, it's own living area equipped with TV, and couch. Or get a roaring fire going in the stone fireplace, open a bottle of wine and enjoy your favorite movie on the large SMART flat screen in the living room. Sign on with your third party apps. Just remember to sign out when you leave.

The newly remodeled entry way door leads into a long entry way with some closet space and a 6' bench. It is the perfect resting place for goodies you may have found in town . Enter through the garage and use the bench to store your sports equipment, your car and/or larger sports equipment such as skis, bikes, etc. Once you enter the house through the garage, there is a second place to hang your coats in the laundry room, and shelf for your helmets.

From the front entry through the main door, you will see a second set of french doors which provides the entrance to the main part of the house.

Cozy House

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The place was spotless when we arrived. The check in instructions were easy to follow. The place was so cozy and we had a lot of room for a group of 6. We used our amenities passes at the Sun Valley Elk Horn Association. It felt great to relax in the hot tub after a day of skiing. We would definitely come back to this home if we are ever back in Sun Valley.

Wonderful house for a family ski vacation

The house accommodated our family of eight perfectly with its four bedrooms and four baths, large comfortable living room, large dining table and separate area with a game table, and beautiful new well-stocked kitchen. The location allowed easy access to the buses to Baldy. Carmen was very helpful before we arrived and responded quickly to our questions. And everything worked so well we didn’t need to contact her during our stay. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Amazing house and great host

We stayed at this house over New Years skiing trip with our family of 5 and cousins. The host was very nice and easy to communicate with. Always responsive. Accommodating, we had to drop our luggage before check in time and host had no problem with it. House was charming, very clean and cozy. Everyone in our group loved it. Definitely made great memories despite our skiing challenges :) If we come back to Sun Valley we would be happy to stay at this house again.

Felt like home!

We normally stay in our own home in Sun Valley, but weren’t able to this summer. We were nervous about not being in our own space, but shouldn’t have been. This property was great and felt like home. There was plenty of space for people to spread out, but was warm and inclusive when we all wanted to be together. Highlights were a great kitchen and plenty of comfortable seating. The property felt very private and quiet. Would definitely stay again.

One of the top VRBO's we have ever stayed

From the very beginning the owner Carmin was so accommodating and helpful with our stay. Just minutes from everything in a nice quite location. Showers/ bathroom were very nice, extremely clean and hot water with good pressure. Kitchen was equipped very well. Beds and pillows were super comfy and clean. Everything made it feel like a home away from home. I will definitely return to this wonderful home.

Great house! Location, furnishings & amenities

We used this place for a get away weekend with 3 families & a number of kids - the kids loved the bunk bed room & the giant sledding hill right out the front door. We cooked all meals at the house as the kitchen was well stocked and the BBQ on the deck was very handy. Plenty of room to relax and we didn't feel cramped! Easy drive to River Run side of Sun Valley ski resort, Sun Valley Lodge and also downtown Ketchum. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Fantastic vacation home

We spent three weeks in this fabulous home. It is in a perfect location...close to all the Elkhorn activities and on a quiet cul de sac. The home itself is well appointed and decorated beautifully. Our three teenage boys loved the large flat screen tvs. The owners were so helpful and eager to make sure our stay was perfect. Thanks, Claudia, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Twin Creeks Review

Generally a nice place to stay. One bedroom was described as having a queen and a bunk but there was no bunk so we made adjustments to who slept where. Could use more deck furniture to really enjoy the 3 decks. Parking was a bit limited. Enjoyed the location in Elkhorn near the bike trail and the pools were a nice touch.

Great House/ Great location

The house was great. It had all the room we needed for 5 adults and 4 teens. We cooked most of the nights we were there and the kitchen was well stocked. We ate our meals around the very large dining table which was perfect for our group. The bedrooms are large and the beds very comfortable. The bunk room was great. It was so big and just pefect for teens. The house is very nicely decorated and so comfortable. The enclosed front porch was great for leaving boots and skis. The location was perfect. Only a few minutes from both mountains, Sun Valley Resort and Ketchum. We truly enjoyed our stay and cant wait to come back!

Perfect local and setup for group vacay

Our group of 10 was comfortable in this 4 bedroom house. The setup is perfect for a ski vacation. The entry is huge for all the gear and then some. We had a nightly fire, the owner gets you started with wood then you can buy more at Albertsons. We cooked all meals at home and there are plenty of dishes and glasses. The house could use a secondary fridge(but the garage was a freezing 32 so it worked out) and another garbage can, but beside that it was perfect and we look forward to returning.

Home away from home

We had such a lovely stay in this cosy, newly refurbished house in Elkhorn - Sun Valley. After making the long trip from Norway, we stepped into this super cosy house. The house is tucked back on a shaded quiet road off the main road, where we pulled up to a nice clean big garage to unpack our bikes and hiking gear, then walked into the bright large entrance into the first floor. Where you are greeted by a wonderful open space between the living room (well decorated) with a large stone fire place, a beautiful spacious new kitchen with lost of eating space for family and visiting friends, floor to ceiling windows and a cosy terrace. The four bedrooms were clean, spacious, comfortable, with big closets and wonderful sheets with lovely summer-weight down comforters. Just like how the Europeans like them!! Bathrooms were clean and spacious with all the supplies & beautiful fluffy towels. Carmen was wonderful to answer the phone and she pre-arranged our guest passes for all the Pool, Golf and Pickleball at Elkhorn! We loved staying here...and we´ll definitely stay here again. I would give anything to move from Oslo and live there for the year! Perfect cosy house in the best place in the World!!

Exceptional Elkhorn Property

My wife and I (from Seattle), along with our 33 year-old daughter who flew up from the Bay area, stayed at this lovely property for 10 days - we spent the time hiking, biking and cooked in with fine wines that we picked up in Walla Walla on the drive from Seattle. The property was clean, had plenty of space - and was located in a superb part of the Valley, close to our favorite hiking spots. The owner, Carmen, was extremely helpful with the check-in and a small plumbing issue, quickly remedied. Our only issues, that I’m sure will be quickly remedied, were a BBQ grill that had not been cleaned (the grill was so caked that an industrial scrubber I bought) in some time, easily remedied with a new grill - and a failure to notify us of a planned major power outage our last night that lasted 12 hours and delayed our departure in complete darkness without supplied candles or flashlights (plus the usual issue of getting a garage door mechanically opened…) Overall, a delightful place to savor the delights of Sun Valley!

Such a lovely home!

The location is really beautiful. It is located on a dead-end culdesac, very private and quiet, lots of trees. The space I feel is actually a little bigger than it appears in the photos. The beds were comfortable also. The rooms are extremely spacious! Overall, a wonderful stay. Carmen was great! She was very responsive to any questions I had. We would love to stay here again sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Carmen Pollastro

Host profile image
Two families own this home. The two wives have been best freinds since college. Both graduates from the University of Washington. We fell in love with this area on a Husky Winter Sports Trip, back in 1981. It wasn't hard to convince our husbands to buy a home here as they instantly fell in love with the area too. We are from the Seattle area and wish we could get over to Sun Valley and use our home more frequently. With work and kids it doesn't happen as often as we would like.

Why they chose this property

My best friend Cindy does not love skiing as much as I do, but loved the summer sports, particulary the horseback riding and knowing that the Olympic rider Debbie McDonald had a training arena in Hailey sealed the deal for her. Our kids love all the acitivies, from skiing, fly fishing, snow mobiling, ice skating,. With the wide array of personalities I can honestly say, 'There is literally something for everyone!'

What makes this property unique

We are at the end of a cul-de-sac and it is very quiet. There are only 4 homes on the street and we very rarely ever see anyone. It is very private. Of course there's not many places which can claim to have their own private fish pond either. Having access to the Elkhorn amenities (hot tub, pool, sauna, steam room, pickle ball and tennis) is nice too!
***Please note Elkhorn DOES NOT allow flotation devises of any kind in their pool.
