Sun Valley Vacation Rentals
byMichael's Vacation Rentals
Michael’s collection of luxury Sun Valley vacation rentals includes everything from designer townhomes right on the fairway to legendary estates with breathtaking mountain views. You can expect the perfect blend of mountain elegance and metropolitan flair, with unique design elements that take each home to the next level.
The crown jewel in his collection is Elkhorn Estate, a seven-bedroom retreat which had several famous owners including Brooke Shields. Renters of this modern yet cozy home also have access to amenities like meals prepared by Chef Andrew Dunning, who is local to the Sun Valley area. While the home offers plenty of privacy, the ski lifts are five minutes away.
Beautifully appointed interiors are designed with inspired functionality. New wood flooring shines and radiant heat warms slate floors in spaces with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, wood-burning stone fireplaces, hand-carved wood railings, and abundant natural light.
The high-end amenities of a boutique hotel lend comfort and luxury to each home. Grand entryways and elevators lead the way to dream homes. Gourmet kitchens, state-of-the-art entertainment and sound systems, workout and yoga lofts – even an entire spa wing with a steam room, plunge pool, and outdoor hot tub. The amenities in these homes are second to none.
Revel in your own sophisticated serenity in the heart of Sun Valley. Stay within walking distance of pools, hot tubs, and world-class golf courses, and access free shuttles to ski lifts, shopping, and dining in downtown Ketchum.

Skiing, fly fishing, hiking, and mountain bikingIt’s not often that you encounter a property manager in a ski destination who is actually a ski instructor himself. And better yet, working alongside his two children who are also ski instructors. Passionate about his community, Michael Godfrey is a true ambassador for Sun Valley. He recognizes how fortunate he is to live in such an incredible place and loves sharing it with visitors.
When he began his business in 2012, Michael had no idea that it would become the premier property management company in Sun Valley. He was a retired builder, simply helping someone look after her home. But his love for Sun Valley, his relationships in the community, and the trust he’s built with homeowners and guests have helped him to grow Michael’s Vacation Rentals organically from the very first home.
Along with his children, Michael now manages almost 60 luxury vacation rentals in Sun Valley with boots on the ground, local expertise, a willingness to go above and beyond, and strong relationships. You’ll often find him skiing or out to dinner with guests and homeowners, many of whom have become his good friends.
And that’s a testament to the way Michael’s Vacation Rentals is run – it’s a family-owned and operated business that has grown completely by word of mouth. With almost 60 homes, Michael hasn’t pursued a single one. He and his children are hands-on, always going the extra mile, and guests leave feeling like they know them. And oftentimes, they actually do.
Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in south central Idaho, Sun Valley is a four-season vacation destination with endless outdoor recreation and classic ski-town charm. A luxury alpine escape in the winter, ranked the #1 ski resort in North America, Sun Valley is also beautiful and bursting with endless events and activity year-round. Explore hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails and alpine lakes, practice your swing on world-class golf courses, and indulge in the incredible dining, shopping, and galleries in downtown Ketchum. They say that in Sun Valley, it's the winters that bring you but the summers keep you.
And that’s why Michael Godfrey, owner of Michael’s Vacation Rentals, is so passionate about Sun Valley.
