Buffalo Village had all the amenities, pool, hot tub, pool tables, lockers for ski and ease of indoor parking. Great access to River Run gondola! Keystone always has the best slopes with great snowy groomed slopes. By far my family’s favorite ski area!The apartment was outfitted well with amenities which was most appreciated. I was disappointed that it was worn down quite a bit, more than any other places I have stayed in RiverRun. The beds were very hard, holes is walls where renters hung clothing on hooks and stripped out. Dining room table chairs falling apart.I have been a renter myself and know renters are hard on things and don’t always treat yours as they would their own. It does take a toll. The decks were great yet from the pictures online I thought we were facing mountain slopes, not the parking lot. My mistake/the 4:30am scraping of parking lot was upsetting, very loud. River Run may want to address this somehow.Otherwise, the end suite and overall accommodation were good.Thank you for sharing your home. KL

Weekend away
My mom and I stayed here during the bacon and bourbon festival. The property and location were great! We had a few hiccups during our stay. No backup rolls of TP, we got a text stating that the water needed to be shut off for maintenance and it should only take 1-2 hours but ended up being all day, and lastly when we parked in the garage to bring all our stuff upstairs the elevator from the garage up wasn’t working so we had to lug our stuff up a couple flights of stairs to get to the lobby elevator which then took us up to our room. The balcony furniture was pretty old and worn down, we both ended up with slivers from the chairs. Overall a great stay just a few tweaks would make it even better! The hand towel holder in the queen bedroom bathroom was broken and there was a light out in the bunk bathroom.
