Classy Rustic Keystone CO Homes and Ski Tip Lodge

In 2008, the historic Ski Tip Lodge and its 5-star restaurant have been chosen by Colorado’s 5280 magazine as the “Most Romantic Getaway” and “Best Place to Pop the Question.”  The highly acclaimed Ski Tip Lodge is located in the secluded neighborhoods of East Keystone, Colorado real estate—just minutes from River Run Village and the new River Run Gondola. 

Real estate in East Keystone includes award-winning golf at Keystone Ranch Golf Course and its enclave of Rocky Mountain Keystone luxury homes, the Ski Tip Ranch Condominiums, and Keystone CO real estate in River Meadows, Trappers Crossing, and the new Settler’s Creek subdivisions.

Ski Tip Lodge & Restaurant features award-winning “continental American cuisine and French techniques and influences.” Dedicated staff prepares six-course prix-fixe meals priced at $90 as well as a rotating menu for variety.  An extensive wine list features over 500 choices.  Log-lined great rooms with large fireplaces complement 10 elegant but rustic guest rooms that are priced from $89 to $269 a night.  Overlooking a beautiful pond with seasonal wildflowers, the charming ambience ensures a memorable evening for any special occasion. 

In the 1880s, the location of the bed and breakfast was simply a stagecoach stop.  Keystone Resort founders Max and Edna Dercum in the 1940s turned a homestead into the first Colorado ski resort.  To enhance the “ski tip” theme, the Dercums cut the tips from vintage downhill skis and installed them as doorknobs.  They filled the guest rooms with Old World comfort.

Set midst breathtaking wetlands of the Snake River and surrounded by the Arapahoe and White River national forests, the East Keystone neighborhoods are also near great fishing, Nordic skiing, hiking, and biking trails, and the ski-shuttle stop.  Ski Tip Ranch is in close proximity to numerous additional fine restaurants, retail shops, and all the activities and festivities of Keystone Resort in Colorado. 

Built in 2001, the 50 upscale Ski Tip Ranch Condominiums feature a lavish design with great mountain views.  The development hosts tennis courts and two outdoor hot tubs, kitchens with breakfast bars, dining rooms, vaulted ceilings, windows with wooded mountain views, gas fireplaces. 

Located in a pristine site bordering Snake River wetlands, River Meadows at Ski Tip is a collection of 12 duplexes in addition to two detached single-family residences with three basic floor plans, each featuring 3 or 4 bedrooms with full baths, and 1- or 2-car garages.

The Trappers Crossing townhome community features luxuriously spacious mountain-style homes (1-, 2, and 4-bedroom, multi-level) with private entrances and decks, flagstone entryways, gourmet kitchens, balconies, an outdoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, parking, and a 24-Hour Front Desk.

Settlers Creek consists of 3-plex and 4-plex buildings in the woods featuring large gourmet kitchens, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, garages.   Many of these gorgeous residences have multiple decks on the front of the townhome and on-grade patios on the back, bringing the great outdoors inside.
