Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Your very own, top-floor, Buffalo Ridge condo has fabulous mountain views! This spacious (1052 sq.ft.) three bedroom, two bath condo has spectacular views of the Continental Divide, Keystone ski slopes, the Ten Mile Range and Lake Dillon. Adding to the drama is a wetland area with old beaver ponds situated below our deck.
Five major ski areas are located within 10-15 miles of this beautiful condo. The Summit County Stage (free bus service) stops at the condo's entrance and provides totally free transportation to Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and A-Basin. In addition, Vail/Beaver Creek is about 30 minutes west on I-70. This awesome alpine area is a skier's and hiker's dream come true!
Your lodge-like condo is surrounded by the beauty and wildlife of the Arapahoe National Forest and the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area. Two hiking trailheads are 1/4 mile from the back doorstep!
This condo will accommodate eight people easily and ten in a pinch. The Master Suite is furnished with a queen bed. Bedroom #2 also has a queen bed. A spiral staircase leads to the loft (Bedroom #3) which features a queen bed and bunk beds. If needed, the queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room will accommodate two extra guests. Please keep in mind that this is a no-smoking condo.
The dining table seats eight comfortably, plus there is space for two additional guests at the breakfast bar. The fully-equipped kitchen is well stocked with all the basics to easily satisfy your cooking needs!
The condo's Colorado mountain decor features a large, woodburning fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and sliding doors opening onto a deck. A generous supply of firewood is provided.
We are happy to report that we can now offer our guests WiFi Internet connection.
Also, our guests really enjoy having the choice of three conveniently located clubhouses--all at no additional cost! The three clubhouses have a heated swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, pool table and game room. One clubhouse also features a racquetball court, and there is even a tennis court for the summer enthusiast.
Covered parking for your car and on-site laundry facilities will also help to make your vacation easier and more comfortable.
Your hosts are Lonni and Steve Bell, the condo's owners. We do want you to be aware that, since the condo is on the third floor, there are stairs to climb. However, a convenient back entrance cuts the climb in half for loading and unloading your car, and the top floor view is absolutely the best in Summit County!

Oh My Gosh! What a great time! Steve and Lonni, thanks for making this a home away from home (except at our home, you don't wake up to these fantastic views!) The beds were warm and comfy after the horse-back riding, mountain climbing, white-water rafting. The sunsets and sunrises were awesome to watch. Definitely improved the soul. Thank you so much for letting us stay here and making memories!! P.S. 107 bears in condo

Sharp knives and extra trash bags--THANK YOU! Wonderful condo. And fantastic hosts. Our kids loved the "Don't feed the bears" sign. Thought it was hilarious!--that and a good game of 'count the bears.' We hope to visit again!

On arrival we felt very much at home, unit is well-equipped! Was nice to sleep high up in a comfortable bed. The head cook(s) reported being thankful for the working dishwasher and good supply of dishes. All appliances worked well. Enjoyed your collection of films, watched 8 or + after a day of spectacular sightseeing. Thanks for allowing us to have such a nice stay!
