Ski-In/Ski-Out Penthouse Condo w/ Large Balcony for Gorgeous Slope Views!

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom penthouse condo sleeps 8 with 2 king beds, a queen bed, and a queen sleeper sofa. It features vaulted ceilings, two primary bedrooms and an upgraded kitchen. The oversized balcony offers up-close views of the ski slope so you can see skiers and snowboarders come down the mountain. Ideally located in River Run Village so you’re just steps away from shopping, restaurants and local festivities. Lone Eagle is a true ski-in/ski-out complex that offers shared amenities including a pool and hot tub.

The entryway has mounted hooks and a bench for your convenience while coming and going throughout the day. The living area features vaulted ceilings and a beautiful, floor to ceiling, stone gas fireplace and a large flat screen TV. The sofa pulls out into a queen-sized bed. Additional sheets and blankets are in a closet. The private balcony can be accessed through the living area and offers stunning, up-close ski slope views.

The full-sized kitchen is stocked with all the essential cookware and tableware to make a meal away from home and features slate floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The dining area comfortably seats eight around a gorgeous wood table and there are three additional seats at the breakfast bar. The first of three bathrooms is just down the hall and has a single sink vanity and a walk-in shower. This is also the location of the private washer and dryer. For your convenience detergent is provided. All bathrooms are stocked with towels and an initial supply of toiletries.

There are two primary bedrooms. Each have a king-sized bed, a flat screen TV and their own entrances to the balcony. One en suite bathroom features two separate vanities, a jetted tub and an oversized walk-in shower. The other features double sinks, a jetted tub and a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed, a flat screen TV and an entrance to the balcony.

Please note: To reserve this property, the reservation holder must be at least 24 years old at the time of booking.

**Ultra-premium Linens** This unit has been upgraded with ultra-premium linens that rival those of The Four Seasons. Enjoy extra soft oversized towels and high quality bed linens that have a subtle satin stripe pattern for a look of elegance. Take advantage of this added luxury because less than one percent of properties in Keystone offer linens of this quality.

**Ivory White Bedding** This property has been upgraded with ivory white bedding modeled after high-end hotels and resorts. Enjoy the luxury of a soft, white-striped duvet cover with a medium thick, high quality down alternative duvet. Featuring an uncompromising and industry leading standard of cleanliness, the duvet covers are laundered after each and every guest stay. The entire bed is remade with fresh, white linens for each guest arrival.

(For additional sleeping options, air mattresses are available upon request for a small fee.)

ENHANCED GUEST SERVICE: Rest assured that this home is professionally managed. We provide cleaning services, regular maintenance, lock-out service and 24/7 emergency call service.

DISCOUNTS: As a guest of ours, you can take advantage of discounts including ski rentals, ground transportation, horseback riding and more.

AVOID SCAMS: For your protection, only credit cards are accepted.

WANT A BETTER RATE? Our rates change according to the day of the week. Reserving as many weeknights as possible will lower your booking total. If this rental is not the perfect fit, Summit County Mountain Retreats manages properties all across Summit County.

The condo was perfect size & space for our group. We had seven people. The property itself could maybe use some deep cleaning but overall it was acceptable & OK. There were a few things that needed to be fixed such as the threshold going from the hallway to one of the bedrooms was missing. The carpet could be replaced & is showing its age. Those minor things did not change my overall mind about staying there. The condo unit and the unit itself used high-quality materials when it was built . It’s just starting to show its age a little. I would suggest bringing shampoo, conditioner, soap, as we ran out of the provided ones in a couple days. The communication with the management &/or owners was great. I would stay at this rental again & overall was pleased. Thank you!

Great Location

This was our 3rd stay in these units. You can't beat the location, just put your gear on and walk/ski right out to the lift.My only complaints about this unit were the cleanliness and water pressure. I value good water pressure and this unit doesn't have it at all. Perhaps it is something as simple as replacing the shower heads, but the master shower is huge and the stream of water coming out of the shower head was just sad. After a cold day of skiing, I would have liked to gotten a nice steamy shower with good water pressure.The other things were related to random stains on sheets to hair balls in the showers/tubs. These are not deal-breakers at all, especially since I could go downstairs and pop my gear on and just go!

Stuck in Elevator-multiple elevator issues

The condo and location were great! However, we were on the 5th floor and there were constant elevator issues. There were several days when the elevator was completely not working for hours which caused major inconveniences to my family. My husband had to leave early one morning for a flight and had to carry all his luggage down 5 flights of stairs. The next day, while the elevator was working we thought it would be a good time to take the trash out, well we got stuck in the elevator for 20 minutes until the fire department came to open the doors. My mother was with us and she recently had hip surgery, so she had to limit her trips going up and down stairs. We paid way too much for it to break and then we actually were stuck in it. The company should give us a discount for all the inconveniences and worry this caused us.

Wonderful!

This beautiful condo was just as described. It had all of the necessities that our family needed for our week away in the mountains. The condo was very clean and taken care of. We had no issues at all with the off site check in. The directions to obtain our room keys was super easy. We loved the jacuzzi tubs and having 3 bathrooms. The personal washer and dryer in the condo are a must for our family and they worked great! The only complaint we had was the elevators went down for 2 days that we were at Lone Eagle and that isn't on the condo owers at all. They did get them up and running before we had to lug our suitcases to the garage to load up to come home. The underground parking is awesome! Would definitely recommend Lone Eagle 3052!

Family Trip

Perfect location, beautiful home, everything we needed for a lovely family trip to Summit County. You can only park 1 car, but we got around that by using the public lot during the day and paying for extra parking at another condo complex which we had to bike to or be dropped off at, which was an easy thing to do for us.

Location, location, location

It is the location of this condo that makes it epic, along with the fact it has 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom....a huge win!! The HUGE downside is the condo is on the 5th floor and there basically is NO ELEVATOR! Review after review for months and months and months mentions this broken elevator. A couple weeks prior to arriving, we were informed it was not working. It appears it may never be fixed, at least anytime soon (within the next year!) 5 flights of stairs in a high-altitude climate, hauling ski gear, groceries, etc., is definitely NOT ideal. After a while it gets very old! Even if and when it does get fixed, one elevator for a huge building like that is not enough. This is no fault of the condo owners, but the builder, but still, you need to prepare that the ELEVATOR WILL NOT BE WORKING AT ALL THE ENTIRE STAY! If you are not prepared to get in a great workout every day, book on a much lower floor!!

Lovely place - maintenance issues unfortunately

The place was beautiful and the location ideal. When we arrived, we were informed the elevator did not work - this unit is on the 5th floor. It took multiple trips up and down stairs carrying our 4 days of bags, ski equipment and groceries to get settled in. The management company did not inform us prior to showing up the the elevators were down - apparently they had been down for many days prior. Additionally there was a heater/boiler problem in the building and the unit was freezing the first night - the type of cold where you wear a hat so your ears don't freeze. It was a rough night. The heat problem was fixed the next day, but the entire time we were there the elevator was down, meaning many trips up and down stairs every day. We would recommend this unit, it is beautiful and the ski-in ski-out location can't be beat. I suggest you ask a few questions to the management company before you arrive to make sure elevators, heat, pool/hot tub are working.

The condo is really beautiful! We enjoyed our time there with our adult kids. The elevator was out of order, which made it challenging to get to the 5th floor with all of our stuff, but the view is wonderful! The pool and hot tub were a bonus. Would recommend this property and would like to go back.

Sweet but too short

The place was very nice. Walked in and it was 90 degrees, but that was random. The beds were not very comfortable, but good enough. The main issue was that we only stayed one day which isn’t a day. I would not recommend it for only one night. Check in is at 4 and checkout is at 10, so that doesn’t leave much time to utilize the ski-in/ ski-out. That said, I will definitely be coming back for a longer period of time to maximize its location and convenience ; it’s literally at the base of the gondola lift.

Perfect spot for ski in ski out

Fifth floor unit with plenty of room. Two master bedrooms almost identical so it’s great for two small families. Had everything we needed for the most part; could’ve used some salt and pepper(usually present in every condo I’ve stayed in) and maybe a plastic spatula but that’s just me. Elevator in the complex seems slower than dirt and since it is a fifth floor unit, dragging all of your gear up or down the stairs is not really an option. Unless you are just a go getter that way and rock on I say. The views from the balconies are great, with a view to the slopes or straight down to the pool area below. Hot tub and pool are nice and the hot tub is probably the hottest I’ve been in in Keystone. A++. Since the room faces the slopes, there is a lot of light that comes in the bedroom windows at night when night skiing is active and when the snow-cats are active grooming the snow. So if you like to sleep when it’s really dark, you may want to bring a sleep mask. Each master bath has a jetted tub with excellent hot water. So if you prefer not to join strangers in the common hot tub this will do the trick nicely. It was a little tight for me(I’m 6’3”) but it sure was nice to have all to my self. Gas stove top in the kitchen!!! What a bonus. I hate cooking on electric cook tops and seeing a gas cook top was such a bonus to me. We cook quite a few meals while we are vacationing and we did appreciate this feature. Nicely equipped kitchen ( minus that plastic spatula) with everything you need to prepare meals for your stay. Two microwave ovens, electric wall oven and two coffee makers were present, a beverage center, and a wine rack as well. Dishwasher in the island was very convenient and it worked well, but it seemed a bit fragile so be gentle with it. All said a very pleasant stay in a very nice condo. It’s a bit on the higher end of the price range for other condos you could stay at in Keystone, but in my opinion,with its location to the slopes, 3 bedrooms and all the space that comes with it
 it’s worth it. I hope to stay in this unit again next season.

Great ski in/out location. Large rooms makes it very comfortable for families. Covid is not it’s friend. This place was filthy! Trash under beds and other furniture. Apple core on the dining table One shower didn’t work but maintenance was quick to fix. Need some overall maintenance love. Parking is horrendous. Very limited space for large SUVs which everyone had. Only one elevator which was out of order when trying to check out. But a great cardio workout carrying everything down from the top floor. Owner needs a new management company for what was once a great property.

Lovely property

The condo was very spacious and accommodated our family of 5 well. It was well appointed, clean and in a great location. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star was the parking. They allowed only one parking space for a 3 bedroom. We had two cars as we were coming from different locations to get there, so we had to park one of the cars offsite. Other than that, it was a wonderful property.

Great location

We were excited to stay in this condo as we were looking forward to ski-in/out location. The biggest disappointment was this property was listed having heated pool and hot tub. I do understand COVID restrictions, but we were NEVER informed that you had to "reserve" a 45 minute time slot in order to use the pool/hot tub. Once we arrived, we learned this from the notices placed on gate. When we went to reserve a time slot, there were none available. The pool/hot tub was empty 90% of the time. Apparently, other tenants/guest made reservations and never used them. I feel the property mgmt should have informed us in advance so we could have reserved a time slot. They blamed the HOA but I feel the property mgmt could have provided us with the information PRIOR to us checking in. If guests reserve a time slot and don't use it, this is unfortunate to others that would have enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy. Microwave was broken, property mgmt brought a "loaner" for us to use Furniture extremely dusty and couches had long hair. They could have vacuumed and cleaned better. Hair dryer in master bath was dangerous... it was "melting" and had a hole in the side where I burned my thumb before realizing the hazzard I do not think we will return to this property~ Regards
