This is exactly what a bed and breakfast should be. Quaint, hospitable, comfortable and clean in a great location. It's a charming house on "main" street in this cute little town. Beautifully decorated and maintained. Staff was very nice and breakfast was good. Great place for anything around the Vail valley, and not too far from Leadville. I do hope to return!

My husband and I just spent 4 days in the charming Minturn Inn.
Our Innkeeper and the day Innkeeper were perfect hostesses, providing lovely breakfasts, good information about the area (check out their book of hiking trails next to the breakfast table) and a quiet, clean, beautiful setting. This is a very well-run Inn, and everything is first-class, definitely way more than we expected for the modest rate.

We stayed in the Columbine room, which was on the second floor in the back of the original building, with a giant old-fashioned bathtub. During the afternoons, we could go and sit down by the river on the shady deck surrounded by trees. And, in the evening, we could watch the sunset from our room, framed by the mountains.

Breakfast and coffee was delicious, and we could be out hiking one of the hundreds of trails by 8:30 am, (the Forest Ranger office is right on the Minturn exit, and Minturn itself is only 2 miles down the Scenic "Top of the Rockies" byway. Simply put, you could drive south towards Leadville along a scenic road, or, you can go east on 70 and hike all the amazing wilderness trails within 10-20 miles! We liked best the hikes with great views of the Gore Range (Bighorn, Pitkin Creek and Booth Falls.)

You can eat at the great little Greek place (Quickie Nickie's) in town (great Gyros!), or zip over to Avon, Vail, or Edwards for literally hundreds of restaurant choices. We used the restaurant guide in our room to find the best place we felt like that particular night.

There is a fridge that guests can use to chill your water bottles down overnight (just no cooking in the kitchen) and a fan you can borrow (our upstairs room got a bit toasty in July, but with the fan it was fine.

I didn't see the riverside Lodge rooms- but we enjoyed the deck and the main room downstairs when resting from hiking-- it looked very calm and relaxing.

If you like a calm place (unlike Vail!) where you can hear the birds sing and the river rushing by and wake up to fresh hot coffee served with a smile-- this is your place!

You could save a few dollars staying at a boring chain hotel on 1-70, but you know how boring that will be! (Although, they even have $99 rooms- so it's even less expensive and you get so much more for your money here!)

Loved this place! Charming inn with gracious and welcoming hostess. Fantastic breakfast and a great bargain! I look forward to a return visit! Jim

We reserved a simple room, but were very happy to receive a free upgrade to the Columbine room. We had a fireplace and an awesome jetted tub for two! As many people have said the food was simple, but good....more options would be nice. While we struggled to get someone to answer the phone, the onsite service was great. We usually stay in Vail, so we don't have to pay for parking. However, if we can't find something closer to the slopes next time, I'm sure we'd stay here again.
