This beautiful three-bedroom cabin, just one mile from the slopes, is one of only 13 properties in the Cabin in the Pines complex. It abuts national parkland, so you can hike out of the back door into the mountains and later soothe aching muscles in the outdoor hot tubs. This is a newly painted home with an updated kitchen and bath, new furniture and a flat screen TV/DVD in the family room. It is on the shuttle line for easy access to the slopes, as well as the restaurants and shops of Keystone, and it is within walking distance to the Keystone Conference Center and Spa.

You also will snag an autographed baseball, fun memorabilia, and we even have you covered with two tickets for the 2010 Rockin' the Roundhouse event. This package is sure to be a grand slam!
