About this property
Steps to Gondola/Heart of River Run/Hot Tub
Black Bear 8053 puts your family two minutes from the gondola and zero minutes from comfort, thanks to a complete renovation and brand-new furnishings.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE - 2-minute walk to the River Run Gondola - King suite & queen guest room, each with a TV - Separate dining room that seats six - Fitness room, shared hot tub & sauna - Dakota Lodge pool access for the kids - Free garage parking
Families love the layout: two real bedrooms with their own TVs (negotiating bedtime just got easier), two tiled bathrooms so nobody hogs the shower, and a sleeper sofa that lets you bring six in total. The corner fireplace and village views make the living room the natural end-of-day gathering spot.
The granite kitchen turns out big breakfasts before the mountain opens, with barstool seating for the early risers and a proper dining room for family dinner — an increasingly rare luxury in ski condos.
Between runs, the crew can split up happily: pool time at Dakota Lodge, a soak in the shared hot tub, or a workout in the fitness room, with mini golf and a playground close by for the off-season. Then everyone walks — not drives — to dinner in River Run. Book Black Bear 8053 and make this the year the ski trip felt effortless.
Free parking for one car is provided in the shared garage.

Thank you for this wonderful review Mark. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the location. It is so close to the gondola! We will check on those pillows and get them replaced. We hope to see you for another visit! ~ SummitCove Lodging
We loved the location and we had a very comfortable stay. Communication was perfect from the first day of the booking to the check out. The property management is really good. Only downside is that the construction in front of the property kind of ruined the beautiful view we thought we would have.

We appreciate your nice review Paula. We are glad to hear that your stay met your expectations and you enjoyed the location and area. It was great hosting you and we hope to see you again soon. ~ SummitCove Lodging
Super location to gondola, can't get closer! Clean. Comfortable. Convenient. A few comments to help with expectations (not intended as critical of the unit)...walls are paper thin with no sound masking, so all noises and conversations are heard; the condo was hot, especially for February, no way to control the heat and we had windows open much of the time; kitchen could have a few more of the super basics. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for this nice review Keith! We are happy to hear you loved the location and enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback on the other issues. Please always call as we could have seen if we could restock the kitchen supplies or checked to make sure the heat was running correctly. We were glad to host you and hope to see you again soon! ~ SummitCove Lodging
This condo is in a perfect location for Keystone skiing. The views are amazing. Everything was clean and as described on the website. Our only problem was that the heater could not be turned down. The master bedroom was very hot, and we could not open the window because the Jacuzzi was right below our window. Lights and noise from the resort were also a little bright and loud. The property manager did come and fix the heater on the second day.
