Penthouse Corner In Black Bear With Ski Slope Views!!!

This is a great place to stay at Keystone. At the Buffalo lodge check-in we received keycards and drove about a block or so to access to the heated underground parking below this Blackbear condo. There were luggage carts available and the elevator whisked us up to the forth floor. The Condo is right near the elevator. The unit has a well equipped kitchen so you don't have to lug your crock pot ( there were 2!) or blender, ice maker in the freezer:) The Queen bed is comfortable, the pull-out couch bed is a little better than most but it is still a pull out. To sleep 5 people you either have to sleep three to one bed, put the couch pillows on the floor with blankets and sheets for one to sleep on or get a rollaway from guest services. The rollaway is normally $20 per night. The owners of this condo provided it to us at their expense. The recliner is very very comfortable but it does not fold flat so it is not an option for sleeping unless you sleep in recliners. The leather recliner and instant-on fireplace are very welcome after your day on the slopes. You turn the timed dial next to the fireplace to start. The coffee table is on rollers so you can roll it under the dining room table at night if you want to use the sofa bed. You can put skis on the first floor lockers. The main Gondola is about a 5 minute walk on walkways out the gate from the lockers. The Sauna, and hot tub are just feet from the ski locker. There is a button to push on the building to start the hot tub jet pump. There are small towels provided for the hot tub located in a cabinet under the hot tub. Wireless internet worked with the provided password.

There is a large washer and dryer available a ways down the hall on the third floor and also on the second floor that is no charge. The washer is fast, the dryer takes a while. Guest services is very helpful if you have questions you just call. We were able to pack our car and check out of our room on the last day at 10 AM and still ski that day leaving our car in the parking garage and the Black bear condo building common area and restrooms on the parking level. We did contact guest services and they offered us that option. This was welcome so that we did not have to move our car to a parking lot, then we left our keycards at the front desk of the buffalo lodge. It made for a great vacation stay!.

Close to gondola and a great condo! We had a great time, and would definitely look here first upon a return to Keystone!

We took our kids skiing at Keystone for first time. It was great having a condo so close to slopes; made it easy to take breaks and hit slopes again!

This condo was amazing and incredibly quiet after the hot tub closed for the night (after 10:00pm). I was so happy there was a crock-pot (we didn't use but will next time), and box fans which I can't sleep without! Huge bathroom! I will stay here again and again! Thank you for keeping it so nice.

This is a spacious one bedroom condo that was right by all the shops and the gondola of river run. Checking in and the garage parking were very easy to do for being right in the middle of the resort. The condo had a nice sized living room and dinning table for us and our friends to sit at. The kitchen made it easy to prepare meals and get snacks when we needed it. The bedroom was nice and had its own television. We appreciated having a few extra blankets and pillows in the unit to use, along with the gas fireplace. The unit was just above the outdoor hot tub so we could be out enjoying that in a few seconds from the elevator. Since we were here skiing the 1st floor locker was very helpful to stack our skis from the end of the day. When we headed out to the mountain, we were so close to the lift that the ski school met just outside our door. In a short minute walk over the bridge we could get on the gondola or continue on to another chair lift. This unit is right next door to a coffee shop to start our day. It is in a great location in river run just across from multiple restaurants and in the middle of all the shopping stores river run has. I would definately stay here again.
