Not only will you have a great time skiing, you will also enjoy the incredible Rocky Mountain views, but you will also love how much fun it was to stay in this self-contained resort that easily meets all of your vacation needs. What makes Keystone such a great place to stay?

While you are at Keystone, you can stay with stay Lodgepole 2003. There is much to love here, from our two-bedroom, two-bedroom condo, which came fully equipped with just about everything we could need, including a well-stocked kitchen and a ski locker on the ground floor, to the gorgeous courtyard with its welcoming views.

Of course, your kids (little and big) will love the pool and hot tub. Another bonus is that Lodgepole 2003 really couldn't be more conveniently located. It's just steps from the full resort shuttle system that will whisk you both the Mountain House and River Run base areas. From there, it is possible to access the skiing on all three of the Keystone's mountains. Enjoy the proximity with a more relaxed and quiet home base.

With numerous kid-friendly activities available, an excellent ski school, and a friendly mascot wandering around, it's pretty clear that Keystone has families in mind. You don't have to drive but can use the resort's free shuttles to get around. So go ahead and have that glass of wine with your fondue dinner! Just remember it will affect you more at the high altitude. You'll find numerous things for kids to do in Keystone. In the Kidtopia headquarters (which are located in River Run Village – minutes away from the condo), children can make crafts, watch a science or a circus show, or get their faces painted. Other Kidtopia activities include free family NASTAR racing up on the mountain, nighttime skating and tubing, a Medieval dinner up on the hill, and even fireworks. There are more things offered than you'll be able to get to, so take your time to experience it all.

There's a full-service spa at Keystone with the great feature of any spa treatment that comes with the use of the gorgeous relaxation room, where you can lounge by a fire while reading a magazine and snacking on grapes, trail mix, and cucumber scented water. It's a luxurious treat for any vacationing parent, and we recommend that you avail yourself of it.
