Robert Crawford Review of Beaver Run Resort

Although we have skied Colorado for 10 years this is only our second summer visit. Usually our family has shied away from big resorts, opting for smaller condos or VRBO town homes. Beaver Run Resort has me rethinking that strategy. There is a wide variety of floor plans, almost too many to pick from. Our unit in building four is a good mix of hotel/condo layout in 2 adjoining rooms. There are only 2 adults and 2 kids in our party and we could have slept 4 more. We got 2 rooms because I hate the idea of being in a standard hotel room but I would have been fine with the bigger room which had a large common area with a fold out sofa, large kitchen bar and dining room table. The smaller room is a more traditional hotel style with a microwave and fridge but also has a separate large garden tub that would be great for soaks during ski season. Looks to have been updated recently and is on par with the offerings we have seen on our ski vacations-wood floors, carpet, granite tops, tile work, furniture all in good repair and the unit is very clean. Most outstanding has been the service we have received. From the parking lot guy to the front desk people, the maintenance guy and security guy who made multiple visits to our room for minor issues (unlock adjoining doors, key card didn't work, couldn't figure out how to turn on mini fridge (breaker was off), hot tub jet fell off). I should add that these calls came from my 8 y.o., but they responded anyway-quickly and with smiles. They even brought my wife a portable air conditioner (we are from Louisiana and she was SURE we would need it. Onsite dining is nice as well. Great food and excellent service. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the parking. There is a lot of parking but none of it near building four where we are staying. The two small lots are consistently full. They do have a garage with a breezeway to 4 that I haven't tried. I had to park down the street behind the main building which is not a problem in the summer but would be a long walk in the cold. This is a minor issue not a deal breaker.
