Planning a trip to Keystone, Colorado?  This beautiful mountain town is a great place to travel in any season.  In the winter, take advantage of the powdery white slopes for skiing, snowboarding, and sled rides.  On warm weather days, you can hike, bike, or go golfing while enjoying breathtaking high-altitude scenery.  But before you take off, take note of the many possible places to stay.  Whether you're traveling alone, or with family and friends, there's a  home away from home that will make your vacation in Keystone, Colorado.

The Gateway is one of the newest properties in Keystone, and it's centrally located between River Run and Keystone Village.  Whether your group is large or small, you can stay at the Gateway in a suite that's sized to suit your needs.  Condos are available with up to four bedrooms. When you make your reservation at a condo in the Gateway, you're signing up for a vacation destination that's both luxurious and convenient.  At the Gateway, you'll have access to a heated outdoor pool with assorted hot tubs, plus a variety of on-site restaurants and shops, including a day spa and a game arcade.  Each condo is equipped with mountain inspired decor and furnishings, a full kitchen, and high speed Internet access.  When you're ready to hit the slopes, you can take a short walk or shuttle service to the nearby River Run base area, and catch a gondola to the top.  And if you'd rather get some exercise at home, you can visit the full-service fitness room.

If convenience is your top priority, book your stay at The Springs Condominiums.  This Ski In/Ski Out complex is located only 150 yards from the ski lifts - just about as close as you can get.  Enjoy amazing views of Snake River and the snow capped slopes from a condo that's the right size for you.  Most of the units in The Springs are one or two bedroom, but the corner condos are set up for larger groups, with three bedrooms and bathrooms.  
Amenities at The Springs include a heated outdoor pool with a water slide and hot tubs, and a children's play area that's securely fenced in.  Each unit is equipped with a kitchen, cozy fireplace, and high speed Internet access.

If you like lounging in luxury, but would rather save your cash for activities and entertainment, Expedition Station is the place for you.  These small to medium sized condos are centrally located in River Run Village, close to the ski lifts, shopping, and fine dining.  Every condo has its own kitchen, and some have stone fireplaces and wooden decks.  When you stay at Expedition Station, you'll get to enjoy amenities like a  heated pool and patio, where you can relax after a day at the slopes.  This condominium complex is a great place to stay for small families, couples, or individuals.

If you're planning a big family vacation or a group get together, your best bet may be to stay in your own private mountain chalet.  Every neighborhood from West Keystone to Keystone Gulch has a great selection of private rental homes, both large and small.  Some of these properties boast incredible amenities like private game rooms, saunas, fitness rooms, and multiple wood burning fireplaces.  You can watch satellite television on the big screen, and then cook up a tasty barbecue on your private deck, surrounded by the sounds of nature.

The best part?  When you factor in the cost of multiple hotel rooms, staying in a private home can be an affordable choice.

So go ahead and start planning a fun-filled vacation in Keystone.  No matter who you are or what your travel needs may be, this majestic mountain city has a perfect place for you to lay your head.
