Buffalo Lodge #8391

My wife and I came to Keystone from Houston for a quick 3 days of skiing. The condo was comfortable and well stocked. We loved the location, just a quick 5 minute walk to the River Run gondola. We also enjoyed the shops and restaurants within easy walking distance in River Run Village.

My husband and I stayed at this 1 bedroom condo in Buffalo Lodge for 3 nights. The room was close to the elevators and very spacious and quiet. Except for the heavy machinery working to clear ice in the parking lot at 5am right below us on the last morning. That was unpleasant. But the room itself had a comfortable king size bed, very clean bathroom with a wonderful shower! The kitchen had everything we needed to make basic meals for a few days. If I could improve anything I'd request another towel bar or extra hooks in the bathroom. Overall very good condo and an easy 5 min walk to the gondola.

The property was beautiful and our room was very nice. We enjoyed our stay for the price we paid but we would not come back.
-We did not find a single employee at the resort that spoke English.
-The employee break room is in the garage and was just below our room. This was an issue because they gathered in the break room and smoked pot which stunk up the garage and wafted up to our balcony. Pot may be legal in CO but not professional for a resort to allow it's employees to smoke around guests and to work around small children high.
Also, because the room doesn't have AC, you have to have your windows/door open for air flow. This wasn't a problem at night as the evenings are cool and was very comfortable but with the smell of pot coming into our room it was very frustrating.
Although we would not go back for the reasons listed, we would recommend to others due to the low price and others may not care about the issues we had.

Thank you for your review and response. The employees that work out of this break room are a different company and work for the resort, not us here at Summit County Mountain Retreats, we can assure all future guests that our employees are always cordial and professional! We will be sure to pass this along to that other company as well as in the future, if a guest experiences this, they can always reach out to us and we can help mitigate the issue.

We had a fantastic experience in Buffalo Lodge #8391 and would book the same unit again. If it isn't available, we'd book a different unit with Summit County Mountain Retreats, they made the trip easy.

The unit was in a great location, on the 4th floor close to the elevator but tucked in a corner, so hallway traffic was never right at the door. It is quite spacious for a one bedroom and perfect for a couple. The appliances are older but in perfect condition. The king bed had a foam topper that made it quite comfortable.

It is a straight, level walk from Buffalo Lodge to the River Run gondola. The ski school and gear rental is the first thing you pass.

Because the unit faces a large parking lot, there is some vehicle noise, particularly pre-dawn when they plow the lot. We used the background-noise function of a cell phone to mask the vehicle sounds.

The living room furniture was comfortable. Because there were just two of us we didn't use the sofa bed. (The bedding is inside the coffee table.)

The fireplace is gas and activates with a flip of a switch. It warms up quickly and throws quite a bit of heat, which was nice in the morning since we kept the bedroom colder.

The unit keys also open the garage, the lobby, and the ski locker room. If you go to the hot tub bring a key to get back into the lobby.

We didn't use the lobby amenities or the laundry, but both looked nice.

Summit County Mountain Retreats emailed very clear check in directions a week before arrival and again the day of arrival that made check-in a breeze. Our only hiccup was that the garage entrance is just past the "no thru traffic" sign.

We hope to visit again.

This was our second time to stay at the Buffalo Lodge. Because of the time of year, it was a quiet stay. My husband and I are not billiards people, but we enjoyed the community room and played pool every night. We also enjoyed the hot tub--to ourselves. The condo was clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed.

The rental is very nice. I especially enjoyed the fireplace. It was very comfortable and in good shape. The shower seemed a bit weak on pressure, even for a flow reducing showerhead.

The entire complex is very nice and I enjoy staying in them. Close to the slopes and in the middle of the village makes it extremely convenient to pop in and out during the day.

Condo was very nice! We went to ride our ebikes and location was great! Bed was comfortable, we brought our own pillows so can't comment on pillow comfort. The fridge froze a bit of our food, we turned it down a touch but just keep an eye on that. The kitchen was well equipped, had everything we needed.

Overall it was a great experience! Clean, well kept, quiet. The only concern, we had asked for an early check in driving 15 hours straight. We were informed if possible, yes. When we arrived in Keystone we contacted Summit County Retreat, again we were told they would let us know. We were not made aware to ask in person at the office. By chance another renter informed us to check there after we had been waiting for 3 hours. And yes our condo was ready.

Anonymous from Manchester - Posted: 10/22/2020

Thanks for your feedback! Check in time is at 4pm. When a guest requests an early check in, we do our best to accommodate. However, we do require all units to have an inspection done after housekeeping and prior to the guest being checked in, to ensure the unit is up to code. We are sorry we could not get this guest in as early as they requested. Guests are welcome to come to our office to inquire about early check ins, sometimes they are not always available.

The location for skiing is great. Also there is a skating rink next door so if you have kids bring skates. And there is kids club across the street as well. The pool is nice but you do have to walk outside to get there (or through the parking garage). Also on busy days there is only one elevator that goes down to the parking garage so there can be long waits. Property itself is very well maintained and if not the property managers were quick to respond. They even put in a replacement dishwasher when ours broke. I would stay here again and thought it was a great spot for a family with kids.

It was a great stay. We loved it. It was so beautiful and went perfect with the outdoor scenery. It was a little tough to find the parking garage and even more tough to find the right entrance to our specific building(that sign was not in a good place). We could figure out if we had cable or not but that didnt matter much to us. It was insanely comfy and we loved every minute of it. We are looking forward to going back.

Overall it was good but will say disappointed with all the construction going on in River Run area and so many restaurants, etc. that were closed. We stayed here to be within walking distance of restaurants and shops. We were there for a week and really the only time the majority were open was on the weekends. This unit is also over the parking garage and trash pick up. Very noisy in early mornings.

Unit was very spacious, kitchen well equipped, location perfect for our family. Also liked that it had a king size bed. However, the living area furniture is worn out and needs to be replaced (sitting on the couch was a challenge because the frame is bent and the entire couch has a downward slant) and the TV in the main living area is not adequately sized. Such a great condo but needs a few necessary maintenance items.

It was very convenient to the activities and restaurants in River Run. There was NOT a key to the in-room safe and management would not or could not get another.

The condo also had a full kitchen with kitchenware, and even a crockpot! The location was ideal as it was a short (2-3 minute) walk to the Gondola and the Lodge itself was centrally located in River Run Village. The complimentary underground covered parking was also a great touch!
