Create SQL View With Entity Framework 6 Code First

I am new to Entity Framework 6 Code First and am trying to perform what I thought would be a simple task. I want to create a SQL View and then have an Entity in my database context that I can use to query the view.

I have tried articles such as this but the key difference in my case is that the SQL View is not an existing view coming from another existing database.

I examined the proposition made in this article but it seems like overkill to me that I would need to create some extension methods to do something as simple as create a view/entity combo and use it in my database context.

Am I missing something? I know it would be much easier if I weren't using Code First but please keep in mind it's Code First and I am trying to create a view, not reuse one from an existing database.
