I stayed here for a week with my ski club. We mostly had 2 BR/2 BA units with one 3 BR/3 BA unit. All our rooms were in buildings 2 and 3 so descriptions may be slightly different if you were in building 1 or especially building 4, because you can ski directly to that building and it has its own pool.

It's hard to beat the location of Beaver Run. It's right at the base of the Beaver Run Superchair or you can ski down to the Quicksilver Superchair at the base of Peak 9. The complex is massive and there are units ranging from hotel room-style all the way to four bedrooms. Our units all had mountain views, which was nice, but that comes at a price. The price is that the bedrooms are all up a narrow flight of stairs on the floor above. This was a surprise to us and, given the average age of our group, we'd likely have opted for the rooms across the hall that don't have the view but are all on one level.

The units facing the slopes can get quite warm on sunny afternoons. With no air conditioning, the only way to cool it down is to open the door to the balcony and running the ceiling fans. In some units the master only has a window that opens over the living area so there's no real way to get cool air in except by opening the door to the balcony, which is really not practical to do overnight. Another reason the rooms that don't face the slopes might be better for those who like a cooler temperature.

While each condo is decorated by its owner, in general the decor was fine. Importantly for our group the second bedroom had two queen beds and access to the bathroom in the hall. The master bedroom had its own en suite. It would have been nice if there had been a half-bath downstairs in the kitchen/dining/living area but there really wasn't room for one. Some units had an owner's closet under the stairs while other units had that space open - a great spot for storing luggage!

There's a ski locker room down by the exit to the slopes but there is only room for skis there overnight. Wear your shoes down there to leave in the locker while you ski and carry your ski boots because it is a LONG walk from the rooms. It was also a pain that there were only two keys for the ski locker, even though the condo slept 4 people. Not everyone who rooms together skis together and that called for some creative communication on where to find the keys at the end of the day.

There are seven small hot tubs on the patio by building 3 and they get crowded fairly quickly. Pro tip: walk through building 3 to building 4. There's hardly anyone in that hot tub/pool and you're right beside the slopes. Pool towels are provided so you don't have to lug one from your unit.

The hotel has several restaurants, a small market, a coffee shop, an arcade and a sports bar in addition to ballroom/meeting facilities. It's also only about a 10-minute walk into the town of Breckenridge though there's a free on-demand shuttle that will drop you just about any place you need to go in town.

We did have communications issues with management. We'd made final adjustments to our rooming list two weeks before our arrival yet when they issued room keys, it was made using an old list. We were supposed to have a welcome party and after some phone calls were told the resort person knew nothing about it, yet we later found one of the banquet rooms set up and a pre-printed sign with our group name, hors d'oeurves and a bar set up inside! Later in the week we had a group dinner in the same room that went off without a hitch and the food was quite good. We talked with some folks at the hot tub who'd been coming to this resort for years without issue but said they did have some problems on this trip. I'm not sure if management recently changed or what, but apparently there are some kinks to be worked out.

While I can't say I loved the long walk from the room to the slopes, I thought it was a decent trade-off so we didn't have to ride a bus to reach the slopes or walk a long way in our ski boots. Others in my group disagreed (the bedrooms being upstairs were a particular pain point) and would not care to return to Beaver Run. But based on the price we paid and the complex's location, I'd be happy to stay here again though in the rooms that are all on the same level.
