About this property

Heart of River Run, Slope Views, Walk to Lifts, Gondola, Shops, and Dining

This Luxury 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo sleeps 8 with king bed in the primary, a queen bed with 2 twin trundles, and a queen sleeper sofa. Recent complete renovation. The homeowner has installed an evaporative cooler for use during the summer. Renovation includes high-end finishes of new flooring, granite countertops throughout, sinks, hardware, paint, furniture, lighting, accessories and more. Ideally located in River Run Village so you’re just steps away from shopping, restaurants and local festivities. Plus, you're a very short walk from the high-speed gondola.

Located in the heart of River Run Village, you’re steps away from the ski slopes, shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and local festivities. Don’t worry about shuttling or parking. Just park in your heated garage and you are steps away from the gondola!

The private balcony is just off of the living area. Enjoy breathtaking views of the famous Gore Mountain Range, as well as partial ski slope views. This also overlooks Dercum Square-home to an ice rink during the winter months and a miniature golf course during the summer.

The entryway offers mounted hooks and a bench for your convenience. The living area features a 49" LED TV mounted above a gas fireplace and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The sleeper sofa mattress is brand-new with the best memory foam mattress out there. It is the same mattress used in several 5-star luxury hotels. The ottoman converts into a table top with 2 benches for extra seating. For those music fans, we added a Sonos music system for you.

Enjoy a full-sized kitchen, stocked with all the essential cookware and tableware to make a meal away from home. It features new brushed-finish granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The dining area comfortably seats 4 with 3 additional seats at a custom-made table. It is so easy to come back to your condo for a quick lunch!

The primary bedroom features a king-sized bed and a mounted LED TV. The en suite bathroom has granite countertops with new double sinks and hardware, a shower/tub combination, and a door leading to a separate toilet area. The guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed with two twin trundles that pull out on both sides and a LED TV. The trundle mattresses are custom made with 8 inch high density foam, which is just as comfortable as a normal mattress. The guest bathroom is just off the main living area. It has a pedestal sink and a shower/tub as well. Both bathrooms are stocked with towels and an initial supply of toiletries.

**Ivory White Bedding** This property has been upgraded with ivory white bedding modeled after high-end hotels and resorts. Enjoy the luxury of a soft, white-striped duvet cover with a medium thick, high quality down alternative duvet. Featuring an uncompromising and industry leading standard of cleanliness, the duvet covers are laundered after each guest stay.

Perfect little lodge for our family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! After snowboarding during the day we enjoyed the pool tables, hot tubs, and the short walk to the shops and skating rink. Everything was clean and well kept.

Wonderful Location and Property

Condo was the perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the pool tables and hot tubs just down stairs. The little Keystone Village area that is attached had everything you needed right out your back door. The view of the balcony of the mountains can't be beat! The recently added air conditioner kept us comfortable the whole stay.

Buffalo Lodge- Keystone resort

It was an exceptional property surrounded by a village that offered many amenities. There was shopping, hiking, biking, fishing, white water, rafting, and so much more. The weather was perfect and we were just between seasons so we had the place to ourselves. This was a beautiful park with responsive property management. Checking was easy check out was beautiful. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a comfortable stay.

Excellent Stay

Close to Gondola, restaurants, and shopping. Parked our car in the heated garage. Kids loved the pool and game room. Unit was very updated and cozy. Nice mountain views and we made great use of private balcony. We made breakfast every morning and even came back for lunch during our ski break. We look forward to coming back next season and hope to stay in this same condo.

Perfect location and great place

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the ski in/ski out location and the place was perfect for our family of four. The only reason I give a 4 out of 5 stars is because of the check in time of 4:30pm, which is relatively late compared to most rentals. While they do allow for early check in if possible, you're charged $25, which I thought was price gouging.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Summit County was amazing! We had keys that would just stop working and they replaced them immediately. They also brought a crock pot when we asked for one. I would recommend that the TV in the living room be lowered a bit for optimum viewing and that the ski locker have a way to empty out the standing water in the bottom. All in all, I'll be renting this unit again!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place we stayed in was very nice, the only problems we had were the people next to us smoking marijuana. We had our 4 children with us and it was awful. We needed to keep windows open because it was so warm out, but the smell from the marijuana was overwhelming. It was constantly night and day. During the night they were loud, coughing, etc. This really did not make the stay a good experience.

SCMR is a joke

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were locked out of room late at night tried calling the “emergency” line MANY times no answer. . Sham of a rental company, take your money elsewhere they could care less about their guests. Check in process is ridiculous as well. We don’t live in the 90s anymore make it easier for guests. The property was beautiful, sucks they chose the worst property management group to take care of it. Not to mention SMCR blatantly lied about important matters, again take your money elsewhere. Unfortunate to say I travel frequently to Colorado during the winter 7-8 times a year for the past 10 years and this is by far the worst experience I have had with a rental company being negligent.

Perfect location, Beautiful Views, Building Issues

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The lodge is perfectly located in River Run Base Area. Easy walk to Gondola from ski lockers. Our problem came upon arrival. Both elevators were out of order. From garage, we had to haul our luggage (Family of 5) up 5 flights of stairs! Major problem! Our first 3 days of 5, we had to use the stairwell. Not even an apology for inconvenience. With a premium property and premium price, this was a HUGE disappointment! The individual unit was very nice but is smaller than it looks. Saying that it will sleep 8 is a joke. We had five and were tripping all over ourselves with limited ability to sit comfortably because couch was used for bed. So, great location but the building could use some active management! Also, all pre check-in materials were very helpful...highly recommended you review it. Would rate this higher if the elevators had worked!
