Minturn Inn

I’ve enjoyed stays at many B&Bs across the country to date and, all things considered, will have to give the Minturn Inn an average rating. No major issues with this cute lodging but it just didn’t rise to the level of excellence I have experienced at other places or an «I can’t wait to go back» pronouncement upon departure. The hostess was friendly enough but somehow things felt awkward vs inviting/​welcoming, the breakfast presentation was attractive and the food (pancakes and sausage) and coffee/​juice was pleasant tasting. The fireplace and four-​poster bed in the room was a nice touch and went well with the lodging’s atomosphere. However, the averageness of the place outweighed its cuteness. We checked in around 9 p.m. and the host was gone for the night so there was no easy way to know what was possible. For example, there was exactly one towel for each of us in the bathroom and we weren’t sure how to obtain another one. The television was not very user-​friendly (it may have even been broken — neither of us could figure out how to get programming). There were no snacks or a welcoming gesture save the instructional note on the countertop when we walked in. Your view is of the neighbor’s yard/​house (meh) and the main street (nice). I hate to be too negative with this review because I could tell that this lodging is quite possibly someone’s labor of love (although the host described a corporate-​type ownership structure to us). Business for this B&B in a mountain town the size of Minturn is probably a challenge to attract and the income generated off of each night’s guest is likely crucial to its survival. We happened to be heading that direction from Colorado Springs in the wake of a pretty gnarly snowstorm. We had reserved a room at the Minturn Inn just a day or two prior and I will warn you now that the owner is unwilling to refund your money if I-​70 shuts down. Your only option if this happens is to reschedule your stay and part ways with your money immediately. I thought this was a bit harsh — I think refunding a payment in a stressful situation like that (especially if you are coming a long way and had just very recently made the reservation) vs. maintaining a self-​serving business attitude would keep your customers coming back and motivate them to praise your customer service. Anyway, we managed. Spent the night elsewhere and then headed to Minturn the following night. Not much else to report on this business. It’s neither subpar nor exceptional. The price they have set for a night’s lodging is too high for this type of experience. Really wish I could have written a more positive review in this case.

This place is beautiful it has awesome commons areas that feel like a large cozy condo and not a hotel lobby. Staff is extremely friendly and breakfast was home made and delicious.

Minturn is a great alternative to the larger resort towns when visiting the Vail Valley if you’re looking for a more laid back, local experience. And the Minturn Inn is the perfect place to launch a variety of adventures whether you’re skiing/​biking Vail or Beaver Creek, snowshoeing/​hiking in in the White River National Forest, or enjoying the shopping and dining of the surrounding resort towns. However, you don’t need to leave Minturn to have a good time. There are a few great restaurant and bar options within walking distance of the Minturn Inn. The Inn itself is very comfortable and quiet and features modern amenities. Several of the rooms have balconies and fireplaces for relaxing and staring at the scenery. Plenty of parking is available. After many years of visiting the Vail Valley and staying at various resorts, the Minturn Inn was a refreshing experience and I look forward to returning.

Absolutely loved staying here! We had the unlucky timing of arriving in a snowstorm, but it was worth it. They called us personally to check in earlier that day due to the bad weather, told us they’d leave a key & note if we arrived late, which we did. Adorable & charming place — antler décor everywhere! We had a fireplace in our room & there are two in main areas as well.
They make your breakfast when you come downstairs in the morning (as opposed to having it sitting buffet style like so many hotels do) — which was such a nice touch.
Only suggestion; we had only one chair in our room & would have liked two. We borrowed one from downstairs & were happy as clams.

This place is only ok. It’s very cute on the outside, and reasonably decorated on the inside. The staff that welcomed us was helpful and polite. Some of the rooms only have twin beds, which is simply too small. The twin beds were made using some unusual sheets & comforters. There was no way to pull down the comforter to cool off without pulling the sheet down with it. I eventually had to remove the entire comforter, and just use a quilt. The inn keepers don’t live on-​site, and the hired staff wasn’t super friendly on the morning when I had breakfast. It’s not a bad place, but it’s not amazing either. I would stay elsewhere next time.

Although I did not get to actually have the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous inn, I want to compliment them on their extreme kindness and understanding as it relates to a personal matter. Character and understanding in business practices are important. I would definitely want to give my business to this lodge and hope to be able to stay there another time as the location is great for hiking in the summer and the little town is super cute!

My husband and I stayed here in the spring for our 10 year anniversary. We had a room in the back building over looking the roaring river. It was an amazing very large room. Super comfy bed, nice over-​sized jetted tub, private deck. WOW! It is awesome. Would love to stay here again on a future visit.

I am conflicted, I want to give this place good reviews everywhere I can, but I also don’t want to compete with all of you for rooms during high season…
My boyfriend and I stayed here for nearly a week first week of March. It’s such a nice, affordable option to Vail, but so close to both Vail and Beaver Creek. Minturn is a lovely little town with a few really nice restaurants, bars and a coffee shop. It backs to the Eagle River and gives you some beautiful mountain scenery without the hustle and bustle and noise of Vail.
We stayed in one of the premium rooms, and had a beautiful river rock fireplace and a giant jacuzzi tub in room. The rooms were appropriately decorated with lodge-​y décor, antlers and bed frames made of logs, etc.
As part of the rate, you get coffee service and breakfast in the morning. Breakfast was always very yummy, and the innkeeper (Aerin? Erin?) is very friendly and helpful. Such a great place to stay, and I am looking forward to sending my parents there for their anniversary this summer.

My family came in town this past winter and stayed here and loved it! The rooms were very nice and clean and the staff was great. Breakfast in the morning was extremely good and the staff went above and beyond to make sure they had everything they needed! Such a nice place to have in Minturn!

Definitely stay here if you;re heading up to Vail area and want a nice B&B without the Vail price. Very cozy place, managers were extremely friendly, rooms were comfortable and rustic, and overall just a good vibe. Cute town with a lovely mountain trail nearby. They give L’Occitane toiletries which are extra nice, better than that store brand stuff. Awesome breakfasts. Check it out if you get the chance! Great for skiing on a budget!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Minturn Inn recently. It’s a gorgeous bed & breakfast/​inn in Minturn, CO (haha, where else?) We stayed in the River Lodge area (Grouse Creek, Cougar Ridge room) and definitely enjoyed it! We had a lovely view of the roaring Eagle River from our private balcony, a gas fireplace, a huge soaking tub, and a super comfortable bed! The room was a tad small, but that just made it extra cozy! We were served a nice breakfast the next morning (eggs, bacon, toast w/​jam, orange slices, all of which were handmade/​sliced/​etc) that was a perfect start to our day! The town is really cute, too, with lots of locals who are pretty amusing at times. All in all, it’s a great and relaxing place that’s reasonably priced for the Vail valley! We highly recommend it!
