I liked the Minturn Inn. Its located in sleepy Minturn, which is half way between busy Vail and Avon (Beaver Creek and Vail, for the skiiers and snowboarders). You really feel like you are in a small cozy little home which is located on Eagle river away from the crowds.
I was very satisfied with the service provided by the staff and the breakfast was always great and served hot and with a smile!

We loved the room, the breakfast, the staff....but.
The room was dusty, we didn't get the room we reserved, several weeks in advance, and we had trouble getting someone on the phone to book the room. The friends that were to stay with us NEVER got anyone on the phone to book a room. The friends had to stay in Avon, even though there were lots of rooms available. This is a great facility, but needs a human to answer the phone.....or a web site where you can book your own room. We are still recommending but....(hoping the owner reads this)

My new wife and I were searching for a quiet place to honeymoon where we would be able to rest after a stressful wedding. The Minturn Inn turned out to be the perfect place. We stayed in the Missouri Lakes room, which is the largest room available. We found it to be spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was equipped with a steam shower and a large jacuzzi tub. The bathroom itself was worth the stay!

The staff was overall very helpful, when we asked for help finding restaurants were pointed towards ones with "off-season" discounts and were able to save a lot of money. We asked several times to eat breakfast in another area and that request was also met with ease.

The breakfasts are average, a little disappointing. I have had better at cheaper Bed and Breakfasts in the past. By no means are they bad, just not exactly what you would expect for the price.

The town of Minturn does not have much, if you want to find good restaurants and other sites you will have to drive out of town. However, there are several nearby towns that have plenty of things to do and good places to eat.

In the end the Minturn Inn was exactly what we were looking for.

The wife and I stayed here 3/24/09 to 3/27/09 in the Angler Room that is downstairs and next to the kitchen. We got a very reasonable deal for $99 a night. It was a rustic place and fit nicely with the theme of the inn. I found the bed and the room had plenty of space for us to do what is intended at a bed and breakfast. My only complaint is Chester the Molester. That’s right, they shower curtain would not stop fondling my every move because they still have the old ones that run straight across. It is entirely too close for comfort. If I got felt up one more day, I would have checked out. As mentioned in other post, the bedrooms are kept hot and you need to crack a window throughout the night but it wasn’t a big deal.

Breakfast wasn't bad, just very basic considering this was supposed to be a GREAT B&B. I would have to say the Breakfast was disappointing. The scrambled eggs were not good and yes, mostly overcooked. The pancakes were excellent and worth the money. So we were 1 for 3 on breakfast. I don’t drink coffee but my wife as well as the other quest loved it. Most asked where they could purchase some of the specific coffee. Erin, the inn keeper, was extremely nice and helpful. She made the stay worth it for us. She was informative and pleasant with any question or assistance we needed.

On a side note, on the coffee table in front of the fireplace in the main lobby. There is a book on the history of Vail. Very detailed and very interesting. If you are sitting there waiting on your wife as I do often, I suggest checking it out.
