Minturn Inn,
Vail, Colorado

John C. Jones
Travel/Food Writer

 

The Minturn Inn, an authentic Rocky Mountain lodge nestled between Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts in Minturn, Colorado is an excellent place to go for a winter get-a-way, or a summer vacation.

 

“You will enjoy your mountain retreat in a completely refurbished 1915 hewn log home on the town’s historic Main Street, or stay in our elegant River Lodge located just behind the Inn on the banks of the Eagle RiverB&Bs of Colorado

 

Originally constructed in 1915 as a residence for the McBreens, a railroad family, the Minturn Inn is one of the oldest buildings in town. In 1995  the home was renovated into a charming nine-bedroom bed and breakfast with full modern conveniences. The distinctive accommodations feature hand-crafted log beds adorned with cozy down comforters and quilts, hewn log walls, antler chandeliers, river rock fireplaces and many other memorable touches.

 

In 2000 a special event took place – the  completed River Lodge, a timberframe structure set just across from the Inn. Its nine rooms feature luxurious river rock fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs for two, cast iron beds with fine Egyptian cotton linens, televisions, phones, private decks and patios that overlook the glistening river. The best aspects of these rooms are the fantastic views of the famous Lionshead rock, the backside of Vail Mountain, and the Eagle River.”
