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.

Thank you for your review! We love reviews like this not only for ourselves but for future guests as well! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we cant wait for you 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.

So happy to hear our property was perfect for you and your family.
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.

Thank you for your review! We will have our team follow up on the water pressure and see if there is anything we can do to improve this aspect of the condo.
Only stayed 1 night, but everything from the Check-in to the Check-out was great.

This condo was overall amazing. It was very comfortable, quiet, and the complex was enjoyable. We loved being able to walk downstairs in the mornings and have breakfast right outside the building. Additionally, the pizza place was yummy too and the bar tender was super friendly and nice to talk with.
The condo came equipped with everything we needed - zero complaints.

Thanks so much for giving us your take on how we are doing. We're glad that customers like you are having a great experience with us at Summit County Mountain Retreats. Pizza on the Run is a great spot for food!. We hope to see you again soon.
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. The pool area was beautiful, we enjoyed sitting there in the evenings.

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.

Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats
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.
It was perfect. Easy to get into and very clean and perfect size.

We loved our stay in this condo. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. Great location for skiing and dining. We parked the car (inside) and didn't move it for 6 days.
Submitted on Feb 23, 2020
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.

The condo had a great location, and was nice and clean. However, there was a loud “crashing” sound that woke us up several times a night, each night. It was definitely from inside the condo and not from other units noise.

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.

We selected 8391 because it looked really nice in the pictures, and they were 100% accurate. We would definitely stay again! The amenities were great, I especially enjoyed having access to the grill. We cooked in two nights and I grilled both. The convenience to the mountain is great, as is the underground parking. Property management was responsive to our questions and check in/out couldn't have been easier.

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.

Thank you for the feedback. We will have our maintenance staff look at the couch and pass along the feedback to the homeowner. We hope to host you again! UPDATE: June 2018 the homeowner updated the living room with a brand new couch.
The condo was comfortable and close to the gondola. It was realatively quiet. I enjoyed the upper floor location. The heat was a little difficult to regulate. The gas fireplace didn’t work but we didn’t request a service call. I would stay here again.

Overall, I was very pleased. The unit was larger than expected and had a well equipped kitchen. The bathroom had double sinks and a full counter. It was quiet, with only the occasional squeal of bus brakes to be heard, as the bus stops were close to this unit. The walk to the Gondola was not bad. 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 carpeting was in rather poor shape, with rips at the seams and stains, but it was clean. I would rent this unit again.

My friend and I had a long weekend stay at the Buffalo Lodge and it was a fantastic experience! The rustic decor was perfect for the setting, and the condo came fully equipped with all amenities we could possibly need (hair dryer, fresh towels, extra pillows & blankets). 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!
