Free WiFi for guests, new 32" flat screen in living room. For potential guests seeking one bedroom places because that's all you need, don't rule out and miss this charming property because it has an extra room (perfect for reading) and likely offers more for less money than competing one bedroom places.

Cozy Ski Cabin Near Vail & Beaver Creek
Year Purchased: 1986
Why the Owner Chose Minturn
Minturn is a charming mountain town, super convenient to Vail and Beaver Creek. I lucked upon the property to purchase years ago when I wasn't even looking, and made the investment as a second home and personal mountain getaway. I have always shared it with family, friends and customers, but never considered renting it until a friend with a vrbo short term rental in Hawaii told me about the high quality clientele the site attracts. My VRBO rental experiences have been awesome.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Your Minturn cabin stay will be memorable, and you will know you have spent time in the Rocky Mountains. My goal is to rent to quality and gentle guests, so I charge on the light and fair end of market so cabin is appreciated and cared for by my guests. There are two mountain bikes at the cabin for your use, and details in VRBO listing describe many more unique benefits this property offers.
Owner's Map of Minturn
Learned to ski in PA and NJ when I was 12, and dreamed of the skiing out west. Was fortunate to make the big move just after college, taught skiing at Breckenridge for a couple of ski seasons (in the 70's), then moved to Denver to start my career in real estate.

A perfect place to stay for Steadman Clinic patients (and others too)

To say I loved my stay in this cabin is an understatement. The owner, Robin, is wonderful! She is responsive to email and questions and keeps the property in tip-top shape. It's clean and cozy and the decorations are adorable. She wants every guest to feel at home, and she succeeds! I am currently a patient at The Steadman Clinic and this place is very easy to get around on crutches and one can reach from a kitchen counter to the bar seating area without carrying cups or plates. The kitchen has essentials (spices, olive oil, condiments in the fridge), the location is perfect and quiet and I will be staying here again for each of my future post-op visits. I would *highly* recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in a nice cozy cabin. PS-The drive to Vail (Lionshead area) is very short and Minturn has some great places to eat and tons of character. I love it here!

The Perfect Cozy Cottage

Had the pleasure of staying in this cozy cottage over new years weekend. The photos don't do this place justice. It is clean, charming and an easy walk to the shops and restaurants of Minturn. If you're looking for a local experience without the craziness of Vail....this is the spot. Robin, the property owner, was incredibly easy to work with and has made this a great mountain retreat. We will be back!

I was honored to stay in this beautiful cabin after surgery at the Steadman Clinic in September, plus again on a follow-up visit. It is perfect place to be for relaxing and healing and you are so close to everything. The owner is so wonderful and a joy to work with and I'm looking forward to staying there again in the future.

Stayed in Sept 2011. The place has everything you could want. Owner very easy to deal with and really wants you to have a good stay. Was like staying at a friend's house, but with hotel benefits.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin this past week. Robin has gone out of her way to ensure a beautiful vacation. We enjoyed the kitchen and the cozy backyard quite a bit. We plan to be back again soon! You won't be disappointed with this beautiful, clean, wonderfully decorated cabin close to everything in Minturn. Thanks for making our stay wonderful Robin! :)

I wanted to thank you for everything you did to make our stay enjoyable. It was great and your suggestions helped a lot. The cabin is very cute and clean! It really has everything, plus some! The patio was the perfect outdoor setting and we loved the firepit as it cools off considerably at night. The lights created wonderful ambience! Nestled in between Beaver Creek and Vail, it was so close to everything and we really had to do very little driving. We also are big fans of Nickie's Quickie's and Sticky Fingers Cafe' that we could easily walk to from the cabin. We had a fantastic time and would love to visit again!

Adorable and cozy cabin. It had everything we could possibally need (including bed warmers), and decorated so darling. From snowmobiling 3 miles down the road, to a ski day in cooper (your recommendation) we had a perfect time. We love the little town of Minturn, and really enjoyed Kirby Cosmos restaurant (your recommendation). Thanks for the advice of staying an extra night, it really came in handy and extended our fabulous weekend. It felt like we were staying at a friends home.
Owner response:Thanks for leaving the extra 2 for 1 lift ticket coupons for "Ski Cooper" for other cabin guests to use too. Works out to only $21 per person for all day skiing at and a very scenic drive from cabin. I have loved taking my nephews to "Ski Cooper" over the years, it is charming and a very friendly old time local ski area rich in history training our troops to ski. Thanks for giving it a try and glad you had fun! Robin

We usually come up from Denver and stay at several places throughout the ski season in Summit and Eagle counties but this might be our new go-to spot. The condo was very well equipped and comfortable and Robin made sure all of our needs were met. Minturn is super fun; a much better alternative to staying in Vail or Beaver Creek but the skiing is still close by. Thanks for the awesome weekend!

Christmas 2010 in Minturn

Review Submitted: 01/08/11
We were looking for a cabin to rent for Christmas that would accept our dog and we were absolutely thrilled with what we found. This was perfect, very cozy, great location in Minturn (only minutes from Vail and Beaver Creek while away from the crowds). The kitchen and outside grill were great. I would absolutely recommend this place 100% if you are looking for a cozy place to relax away from the crowds at the resort but close enough if you want to go in for dinner/ski. My wife and I have used VRBO's all over the world and this is one of the best we have found, we will be back.
