Buffalo Lodge 8412 lets a family of four live above River Run Village in newly renovated style, with the gondola close enough that nobody complains about the walk.

WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
- 5-minute walk to the River Run Gondola
- Sleeps 4: king bed plus memory-foam sofa sleeper
- Sparkling new kitchen and spa-like bath
- Balcony facing the slopes and village lights
- Game room with pool table in the building

Mornings start easy here: pancakes at the granite island, gear from the ski storage, and a short stroll to the gondola with hot chocolate on the way. The village's playground and mini golf are nearby for the off-hours, and the balcony is front-row seating for watching skiers carve the runs above town.

Back inside, the gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings make the living room feel like a lodge of your own, and the memory-foam sofa sleeper means the kids actually sleep. The renovated bathroom's double vanity ends the morning line-up.

Evenings offer a choice: pool table downstairs, hot tub under the stars, or a wander through the village for dinner. Make this winter's trip the easy one - reserve Buffalo Lodge 8412.

Parking for one vehicle is included in the building's shared garage.
