I always stay in Black Bear. The location is amazing and makes the trip so much easier to be so close to the lifts, dining, and ski storage. This condo had a balcony overlooking the square in River Run. Perfect for people watching and checking on the traffic to the gondola. Was not very noisy, much less than expected. This is easy skiing! No hassle parking, ski storage, dining, walking to the gondola! Love this condo!
