Dakota Lodge was completed in the late 90?s and is one of the more exclusive buildings in the resort. This means there is less congestion in the building during busy times and all units are a short walk from the elevator. There is one high speed elevator that services only 67 units. Some other buildings have one elevator for over 100 units. There is an access controlled underground heated garage. Laundry facilities are located on both the second and fourth floor. This building also features the largest heated pool in the resort and the two largest hot tubs in the resort. The pool and hot tubs have views of Dercum Mountain and the ski slopes. There is also a sauna on the first floor. The sister building to Dakota lodge is next door and guests in Dakota have access to the game room and gathering areas in Buffalo. The game room features several pool tables and tables to play games such as chess and checkers. The gathering areas are beautifully decorated and have ample seating on couches and living room style chairs for large groups. If you are looking for a little more intimate hot tub experience, Buffalo has two smaller and secluded hot tubs for your enjoyment.

Property Reviews
Beautiful Place Tronja H. from Aurora, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in April, 2013 My husband and I took the family on a weekend getaway we had a great time and the rental property was beautiful. The heated pool and hot tub was icing on the cake. The rental property staff just needs to be more knowledgeable about the rentals and what's included in them. I called to see if their was a DVD player in the condo and was told no but their was one. Also I confirmed with them we had seven people staying and wasn't notified of a fee for a blowup mattress. But overall had a great time.

Fantastic family ski retreat Lara A. from Ft Collins, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in January, 2013 Perfect unit, great views of the mountain and overlooking the really nice hot tubs and pool. It was really easy access to the gondola and just far enough away to avoid the crowds. Kystone mountain is absolutely perfect for young kids. there is a gondola all the way to the top and even little ones can get in a 3 mile run if desired. I was really Impressed by Keystones efforts, from performers and parades at the end of the day to an unexpected fireworks display "best vacation ever" declared by my 4 and 6 year old! Property Manager Response: Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats Love it! Thank you for staying with us!

Keystone Lodge A guest from Franktown, CO does not recommend this property. Stayed for 7 days in July, 2012 The rental company was great, they brought in a table and chairs after hours when we discovered the unit owner had removed his and rented the unit out anyway. The pool was filthy and was closed and drained during our stay. The pool is open to many RR properties and also has easy enough access to anyone passing by. It is way too small to accomodate that many people with minimal maintenance. The staff covers the pool at night and uncovers it in the morning with no vacuuming and no monitoring of chlorine until there are many complaints. They never put in an overnight cleaner though they said they did. The pool wasn't cleaned at night or in the morning, just covered and uncovered. Most nights, groups came in after hours to drink and party in the pool area- no one monitors the area, you have to call and report it. Every night between midnight and two a.m. - not quiet swimmers, loud partiers swearing and dropping glass bottles. Why doesn't a property of this size have security? This place might be good in the winter but there is a reason the rates are so low in the summer. Most restaurants and shops are closed or have limited weekend hours in the summer.

Easy Access to Mountain and Village A guest from Denver, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 3 days in July, 2012 The condo was clean and well kept. It's a geat location for biking, hiking, with the amenities of the local village nearby. Great value for summer booking.

Great Location and in Good Condition Jamie H. from Parker, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in June, 2012 This was a great location! You could walk out the door and be in the midst of the various activities going on. There is a bit of noise from the people in the pool, but it quieted down by 10:00. I was disappointed that they made a point of saying that there was coffee provided in the room, but there was no sugar/creamer so you need to be prepared for that (we were with our two small children so coffee is a must! :) All in all, it was a great trip and I would go back again!

Minor points can detract. A guest from Centennial, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in March, 2012 We had a good time at a fine location. Lose the tv cabinets. I think the coffee maker may have a broken warmer. These are not reasons to complain, merely points for consideration. Lastly, we specifically asked if the pool was working; we were told, yes it is. It was not! We would have chosen another area if we had known that to be the case. Oherwise, good.

Will not use again! Michael S. from Roswell, GA does not recommend this property. Stayed for 3 days in February, 2012 I originally rented for 4 nights, needed to cancel the last night two days later because of 6am flight out of DIA. Management company still was going to charge me for last night. Not exceptable! Was still 45 days before vac.Condo filled with second hand items. Carpet was nasty. Linens may have been clean but had a bad smell. Expected much more and would not use the rental management again!! Unit also was very small. Was happy to get to Embassy Suites last night of vacation!!! Property Manager Response: Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats Hello Michael. Clearly you are bitter because you agreed to a rental contract that you later did not like the terms. Of course every negative thing you had to say was simply cyber-assasination. It is amazing how your review is so divergent from other guests. I guess those HD TV's were second hand and the new bed was too. Clearly you think that we should have taken the money that legitimately belonged to the property owner, but because you had a change in plans you believe that owner should pay for your change in plans. That is not right or ethical, and not how we do business. Embassy Suites is a nice hotel, although its suites are less than have the size of the condo you rented and NOT in a first class ski resort. Our rating for you as a guest is a 1 across the board. We don't need or want irrational and unethical people renting from us. All nice and reasonable people are encouraged to give us a call or check us out at Property Manager Response: Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats Hello Michael.

Nice place John W. from Wylie, TX recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in December, 2011 No complaints at all, other than I don't recall seeing square footage advertise. Maybe it was.

Love Dakota Lodge! Sheila B. from Goldonna, LA recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in December, 2011 Great location, great lodge! Our family had a wonderful ski vacation. Outdoor hot tub is so relaxing after a day of skiing. The only thing I could possibly recommend is to equip the kitchen with measuring spoons, cups, and more pots. Hope to visit again soon.

Keystone Dakota Lodge #8494 Review A guest from Highlands Ranch, CO does not recommend this property.

groupon december 2nd A guest from Denver, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in December, 2011 everything was wonderful, i just think the management could have been a little more helpful about communicating everything such as the location of the house, the parking etc. They should assume that people are as ignorant as possible.

Se comment below Hezekiah F M. from Aurora, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in August, 2011 - Bathroom doors are unlockable - Internals doors makes noise when you open and shut them. - Occasionally, access keys to parking lot do not work very well as expected. - There were unneccessary empty carbinets/carboards in sitting room and in the bed room that were TV stands that are long needed since flat TV screens are mounted onto the walls. - A radio or CD play would add additional comfort. Please fix the above. Otherwise, I did enjoy the stay.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition
great place with few drawbacks NICHOLAS R. from FORT COLLINS, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in August, 2011 great place, with a very nice kitchen. we were able to eat in the room the whole time we were there, including a full dinner. some things needed to be repaired, but they were minor. and the location could not have been any better!

Mark H. from Boulder, CO recommends this property. Stayed for 2 days in March, 2011 We have stayed in close to a dozen units in the Dakota...and they are all nice...this one was no exception. The only disappointments were that the DVD player (only one there), was broken and had to be replaced. (It was, but not until we were checking out). Also, the pull-out sofa had its mattress removed, leaving the frame underneath at an odd angle, which made sitting in the sofa an impossibility. We eventually figured out the problem, (finding the sofa mattress hidden in the guest bedroom.) --But not until the second day.

Took care of missed cleaning asap Sheila S. from Chicago, IL recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in February, 2011 We had paid for an early check in way in advance however it wasn't cleaned when we first arrived. We called, we went skiing and they sent someone to clean right away. They fixed the problem and refunded the check in fee by leaving a check that day. Very good service. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you. Property Manager Response: Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats Sheila,Thank you for your comments. Yes a mistake was made by a new reservationist when your reservation was first taken. Our policy is to allow early check-in to be scheduled 24 hours in advance because we do not know if a different guest will make a reservation that back up to yours. We sincerely apologize and thank you for understanding.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition

Great location Mark S. from Omro, WI recommends this property. Stayed for 4 days in December, 2010 Whats to beat, 5 minute walk to the gondola. Greatly set up for skiers. Kitchen is alittle sparse with equipment, if you plan to cook alot in, be prepared to improvise. Property Manager Response: Response from Summit County Mountain Retreats Thank you for your feedback. We will discuss with the owner and add the needed items. It is our goal to make sure our guests have everything they need for a wonderful vacation. Oddly, some guests decide to take kitchen items as momentos of thier stay.		Overall Satisfacation show detailed scores Services from rental manager Cleanliness Location Property Condition
