Minturn Inn

Lovely, affordable lodging in an authentic mountain town, just around the corner from Vail and Beaver Creek. Minturn is walkable, with good restaurants at reasonable prices. Took me back to the Colorado I knew some decades back. And, I forgot to add: excellent breakfast included.

What a great place for a nice weekend getaway. The location was great. Walking distance to nice restaurants. The management was spot on with tasty breakfasts and response.

We stayed one night and wish we could have extended our stay. Room was the 2nd floor "Columbine" ($210) we felt it was an excellent value for the area. No PROS: easy self check in/out. Free parking behind the inn. Our room was clean, luxury linens, tall shower with great pressure. Fun whirlpool bath decked in stone. Western decor was tasteful and restrained. The fireplace and king bed inspired romance. Windows open and have blinds for sleeping. Breakfast was delicious, adequate and wonderful espresso or drip coffee, service was good. Main room was inviting with games, seating, magazines, a fireplace and they offer bikes to use. CONS: choose room carefully as some stairs are involved. The small grassy lot needs attention. It's on the Main Street, but we found it quiet.

We honeymooned here in 1999 and recently returned with our three “kids,” (two young adult, one child) for a night. It was just as wonderful as it was back then. Homey and cozy. Clean and tidy. Hot coffee, tea, and pastries greeted us. The innkeeper Cailin was so accommodating, going out of her way to make us comfortable. She made us lattes. The showers were hot and the bed was comfortable. Soft sheets too. Minturn is a quiet town in all the best ways. Will definitely return!

I’m hesitant to review because I want to come back again and again! Great location walk to several restaurants and distillery. Cute rooms and common spaces. Pets allowed in some rooms. Yummy breakfast. 4pm munchies and prosecco. Coffee always available with snacks.
