Renting a Hotel Room in Keystone Colorado?

We hear from many of our customers that they would like to rent a hotel room in Keystone Colorado and not sure where to stay.  First we understand that when visiting many major resort areas hotels are the way to go, hotels offer a convenience of checking in, having a clean, affordable, and comfortable place to stay.  Keystone is a little different, there are not an abundance of hotels in the area and the main hotels are dominated by the resort.  In Keystone Colorado you have a couple of hotels to choose from for your stay.  There is the Inn at Keystone, the Keystone Lodge and Spa, the Arapahoe Inn which is more of a motel and the Ski Tip Lodge which is a Bed and breakfast.  You can usually find that you can rent a condominium or vacation rental for the same price as you can get a hotel room if you are staying more than one night.

Keystone’s Ski Tip Lodge

The Ski Tip Lodge is a historic bed and breakfast, the long life of this building started a ways back but has had tender loving care along its rich life.  Spending time as a stagecoach stop for travelers from another era the building lives on as a romantic and rustic bed and breakfast.  Rates at the Ski Tip Lodge will vary by season but if you are looking for a one night stop in Keystone this might be a fun sleep over, you can choose from two bedroom suites with a private bathroom or opt for a single bedroom with your choice of private bath or shared bath down the hall.  The rooms are a comfortable blend of rustic defined modern mountain luxury. If you are staying in East Keystone feel free to make dinner reservations for the award winning four course dinners that you can enjoy here.  The Ski Tip Lodge can be enjoyed year round, for dining reservations are recommended.  You are within walking distance when you stay at Ski Tip Ranch, Trappers Crossing, Settlers Creek and select properties in River Run, if you are staying in other keystone lodging you can take the resort shuttle or drive and park at the Lodge.
