We had an amazing stay here. Location was outstanding - having the snowflake lift outside the door meant we could get the kids out the door and on the slopes in no time. We would recommend this place to anyone.
This was a great location so close to Snowflake (which is also a bus stop). And also a 10 min downhill walk into town. The unit itself couldn't be much closer to the lift access, the gym, and the hot tub/sauna/steam room. We loved how comfortable the condo was. The biggest downside was requiring in-person check-in at an offsite location just to pick up the code to the door. That was a major and unnecessary inconvenience.
well equipped kitchen, clean, close to snowflake lift, garage parking and ski lockers are extremely convenient, easy trip to town for restaurants and shopping. Hope to stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Great location , 20 feet to nearest ski lift to start our day. Condo was well stocked and very clean. Easy walk to downtown. We will definitely be back.
Loved the proximity to Snowflake Lift which makes for ease in skiing! Condo itself is a very nice two bedroom with good view of the lift out the windows where plenty of light comes in, a nice deck, and pleasant family room with great, comfortable seating for our party of 6. This place has a wonderful heated garage and nearby ski locker as well. The few glitches could be fixed (and we admit we did not bring them to GWL attention during our stay and are only introducing them here) include: 1) T he sofa couch pull out mechanism is not functioning in a way that allows guests to sleep on the couch levelly. 2) The carbon monoxide detectors went off twice (one during the afternoon and a different one during the middle of the night and we determined there was no reason except battery issues); 3) There is a somewhat sharp edge between the carpet and adjoining tile going into the kitchen; 4) The pillows are pretty average in this condo (need upgraded). All things considered, I would rent this place again.
The first and most important thing about this place is that it really is about 200 feet from garage exit to the lift! And there is a fire road/trail that leads back to the lift and condo which requires two short level runs where you will have pole your way through, but they are short and easily traversed (I am 63 and it was not an issue) then its a 200 ft walk back to the condo. Just awesome.

The condo is 2 BR and is older with circa 1990 black GE appliances that all work just fine. It is roomy for a slopeside condo with a very nice patio overlooking the woods and the lift. Also, and this may only be important to an old skier like me, it has two really comfortable leather reclining chairs and a big comfortable leather couch (most of the big hotel chain condos are furnished with functional but not really comfortable furniture). The furniture is old but really comfortable which made for nice evenings watching movies and enjoying post-ski beverages. Lastly, the bed mattresses are in very good shape, which is another personal issue I have problems with at other resorts.
In terms of going to town. It is about 1/2 mile from and above downtown Breckenridge. We enjoyed the walk, but you can take bus that runs till 11 pm.
My only complaint is that while there was plenty of cookware, plates, spices, there were only a few glasses and mostly stemware. Despite several calls we never got additional glasses. A minor issue.
All in all, it was a great place to stay.
The location in Breckenridge, right next to the 4oclock run, was fabulous! There was ample seating in the condo. The little indoor hot tub room was fun.A few negatives: outdoor larger hottub was closed, the mattress in the MBR was old, the decor was dated, and worst of all the kitchen was poorly equipped and the pans were so terrible it was hard to cook anything at all. These would be easy fixes and then it would be a 5 Star.Additionally, we were there off season, with maybe 10% of the parking garage full, and yet they would not let us park two cars there. Just needed management to âthink logicallyâ instead of blindly following rules for in-season. Disappointing.Iâd be happy to be contacted for a list of missing/poor kitchen items to make the kitchen useful.
Absolutely perfect!! The condo is decorated beautifully and so cozy!! The view is gorgeous! This was our first trip to Breckenridge and we will definitely be back! Thank you for memories!
Second time Iâve stayed in Riverbend condominiums everything has been above par. Very clean and very nice condos. Check in check out process very simple
Slightly farther away from town than expected, which meant we needed to drive everywhere, and slightly more difficult to ski back to than expected, which meant a longer ski trek home at the end of the day, but overall a very nice unit. Excellent hosts.
The property was on the base of the mountain, with a couple of small/easy trails surrounding it within the mountain trees. The convenience to Main St for restaurants or shopping was PERFECT! Also a very short drive to Peak 9, and the Peak 8 gondola.
Loved coming back at the end of the day to this homey apartment. Perfect for our family with large master, kids' bedroom, two baths (with amazing water pressure!), deck looking right at the Snowflake lift, well-outfitted kitchen, hot tub 2 doors down and easy access to underground parking (included). Also near hiking trails for summertime, and walking distance to downtown Breck. Would stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay in this unit, which is right next to the base of the Snowflake chairlift. The unit was clean, spacious and perfect for our family. Great Western was extremely helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend for your next ski vacation.
We came for a family ski vacation and had a wonderful time. Condo was clean and a great location for ski-in ski-out. Main Street is less than 1 mile and had many great restaurants. Canât wait to come back! Highly recommend this condo!
Cannot beat the location and proximity to the Snowflake lift
This property is a true definition of ski in/ski out. Unit is beautiful and perfect for a low-key getaway. Ski lockers are great. Did not get a chance to use the shared facilities but they looked nice from the outside.
