Welcome to Sheepbend House, where rustic charm meets modern luxury in the heart of the Rainbow Bend community of Sun Valley, Idaho. Inspired by the delightful "Trailing of the Sheep" festival, this brand-new vacation rental is your gateway to an unforgettable escape steeped in local culture and natural beauty. Think sheep, but make it chic! As you step inside, you'll be greeted by captivating photographs and artworks showcasing the region's iconic sheep – a nod to the celebrated Ketchum festival. And yes, we're talking about sheep that could model for Vogue. Sheepbend House doesn't just stop at pretty pictures; it's packed with Basque-inspired design elements that effortlessly blend tradition with contemporary elegance. Picture this: a spacious living room with a hand-cut stone fireplace from Montana and custom-made antler chandeliers from Alaska. It's like a Pinterest board brought to life. The open floor plan connects this stylish living area with a beautifully appointed kitchen, a large butler's pantry (because you deserve it), and a refined dining room. It's the perfect spot for gatherings, whether it's a family reunion or just a really fancy game night. Conveniently located minutes from the vibrant hubs of Ketchum and Sun Valley, Sheepbend House is all about location, location, location! Start your day with a leisurely stroll to the nearby bike path, or extend your adventure southward to the charming town of Hailey. For those who fancy a bit of fishing, Boxcar Bend is nearby, offering a serene escape for nature lovers. Just think: fresh air, clear skies, and no emails. The ground floor is home to a sumptuous primary bedroom featuring a luxurious California king bed, a cozy lounge area, and an en-suite bathroom that's basically a mini spa. Upstairs, you'll find a sprawling family game room with a smart TV and plush seating – perfect for movie marathons or friendly battles of charades. The expansive back deck is an après-ski paradise for parents, while the kids enjoy their own entertainment haven in a room with two single beds and a full bathroom. There's also an elegant queen bedroom with an adjoining full bathroom, because everyone deserves a touch of luxury. Every inch of Sheepbend House is designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. With marble tiles featuring intricate mosaics in every room and hand-painted tiles from France in the pantry, it's all about the details. Premium luxury linens and towels add an extra layer of comfort, making it hard to leave the bed – but hey, no judgment here. And let's talk about the newly landscaped outdoor space – it's an Instagram-worthy oasis with flowers, grass, and a vibrant atmosphere perfect for soaking up Sun Valley's natural beauty. The house is just a 6-minute drive to downtown Ketchum and River Run Lodge, and a 15-minute drive to Sun Valley Resort and Hailey. So close, you might as well leave the car keys behind, rent bikes at a discount with MVP, and hop on the bike path! ​​​​​​​ Sheepbend House is your perfect sanctuary in any season.
