Private Balcony with Ski Slope Views & Short Walk to Gondola, Shops, & Dining

This updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo sleeps 6 with a king bed, a twin over full bunk bed, and a newly updated queen sleeper sofa. It features slope views from the private balcony. It also has an updated kitchen and bathroom. Ideally located in River Run Village, you’re just steps away from the high-speed gondola, shopping, restaurants, and local festivities. Black Bear Lodge also offers shared amenities including a sauna and hot tub, and access to Dakota Lodge pool and hot tubs.

The entryway has mounted hooks and a closet for your convenience while coming and going throughout the day. The living area features new couches, a flat-screen TV, and a gas fireplace. For extra sleeping arrangements, there is a queen-sized sleeper sofa. Extra sheets and blankets in a closet. Just off the living area is the private balcony that features beautiful ski slope and seating for guests to enjoy.

The kitchen is stocked with all the essential cookware and tableware to make a meal away from home. It features granite counters, new hardwood floors, new cabinets, stove-top burners, and stainless steel appliances. The dining area comfortably seats four with two additional seats at the breakfast bar.

The bedroom features a king sized bed with ultra premium linens and a TV with a DVD + VHS player. Enjoy ski slope views from the bedroom window. The remodeled master bathroom has a single sink vanity with granite countertops and a shower/tub combination. It is stocked with towels and an initial supply of toiletries.

The guest bedroom features a twin over full bunk bed and two dressers for ample storage. The full-sized guest bathroom features a standing shower, new flooring, and granite countertops.

**The bedding in the secondary bedroom has changed from two twin beds, to a twin over full bunk bed, new photos coming soon!**

**Ultra-premium Linens** This unit has been upgraded with ultra-premium linens that rival those of The Four Seasons.

Black Bear #8061 July stay

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The overall stay for a couple of days was very nice. The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was construction going on the west side of the condo where we stayed (I know the construction is out of the control of VRBO) but it would've been nice to have been told the workers start at 7:00 a.m. and don't stop until 7:00 p.m. There were a few minor issues that we addressed with Summit County Mountain Retreat and they responded very quickly.

Great stay

The location was great. Communication with the property manager was great. Didn’t love having to get keys from a different location but it was easy enough. There were extra chairs stacked in the entryway when we arrived, but it didn’t bother us. Called and told them about it. They offered to have someone come get them but we figured that would be harder than just moving them out of the way. Amenities were great and beds were comfortable. Would stay there again.

Awesome location with Mountain Ski vibes!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a great rental experience! The digital guest book with check-in instructions was very detailed & informative. I liked the secured parking & having the carts right next to the elevator to haul our stuff up to the condo was very helpful. Beds were very comfortable, the view from the patio of keystone mountain was amazing & the location was perfect, especially with the shops nearby.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

It was ok.

It's too bad these management companies/owners have no desire to inspect their units BEFORE guests arrive. There were multiple issues with this unit, some were fixed after reported, some were too far gone to fix expediently. - The garbage disposal was broken. - There were no screens on the second bedroom windows... in the summer with no AC having windows open is a necessity. Our son was eaten alive by mosquitos. - The drain plug on the master shower was completely broken. - There is no regular oven in this unit. Only a small electric stove and a convection microwave.

Pleasant unit in River Run

Very pleasant unit in River Run. Nice square footage where the four of us didn't feel like we were on top of each other the whole time. Very little noise from adjacent units. Only issue was construction going on blocking the porch view, but that is not the fault of the property managers for this unit. Would definitely book again if we were in the area.

Perfect Condo in the Mountains

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great spacious condo in the mountains with great amenities. We enjoy staying here in the summer. It is a nice relaxing week with cooler temperatures and plenty of sunshine in the summer months. Pool and hot tub area is always inviting. Grills and social areas are a plus. Only complaints would be construction noise for new buildings.

Room was nice, but not exactly what I ordered . very disappointed

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: Check in was easy. As soon as we entered the room, I walked around to inspect everything...... that's when I became very very mad. The bedroom that was supposed to have 2 beds next to each other at the same level with night-stand in-between was not there. Instead was an up and down bunk bed. This was not what was advertised in the listing.Before I made the reservation, I searched many different listings for a room with 2 side by side beds. NOT UP AND DOWN BUNKS!!!!This was not acceptable. But, we were trapped.... we had no choice.I immediately called and made a complaint.-The kitchen was a little small for 4 adults. Bathrooms were set up well.Balcony was a nice bonus, except for all the construction going on.Disappointed that the hot tub was not available to use.Elevator worked well. Parking garage was easy to use, even with a big vehicle like mine.-Obviously I am upset with the wrong advertising of that room. It upsets me also with the reservation management, that they didn't catch this beforehand.

One of our favorite units we've stayed at in Keystone! Everything was clean and you could tell they had done some nice updating. We had plenty of space and the kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed...even had extra towels and blankets for the beds. Easy walk to the main gondola. Quiet at night. Summit gave lots of info and made the whole process super easy. Definitely would stay here again!

We loved this condo and would book again, my only two complaints is the door to the patio wouldn’t open which is a reason we booked it we like to sit outside and watch skiers come down the mountain. Also the carpet is dirty and needs a deep clean.
