About the host
Hosted by Loren Bendele
I fell in love with Minturn when I took a year off after college to be a ski bum in Vail. The town is amazing and it has such a unique and authentic feel. I love the mountains of Vail and Beaver Creek but the towns are too touristy for my taste. Minturn gives you the best of both worlds - easy access to Vail and Beaver Creek but a home in a real, authentic town that feel very remote (even though it is only a few miles away).
We live in Boulder, CO but we spend a lot of time in Minturn - part of the reason it isn't available very often ;)

Why they chose this property
Our favorite things about this home:
- only 10 minutes from Vail or Beaver Creek but it feels totally remote
- the beds and bedding are high quality and comfortable (think Ritz) and they are all California Kings from Urban Mattress in Boulder, CO. Sleep well!
- the hot tub is huge, new and high quality (it can seat 8 but we find it most comfortable with 4-6 adults)
- it is on the Eagle River. Fall asleep to the sound of the river
- the family room is great for chilling after skiing - it is huge, with a cozy fireplace, a very high ceiling, and beautiful views of the river, national forest land, a mountain peak and Lionshead rock.
- walking distance to shops, restaurants, bars, etc (good take-out during Covid)
- it's a great place to escape with your family and friends
- Minturn is a mecca for backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking trails, hiking, snowshoeing... all from your front door
- the fishing in your backyard is good year-round (check out Minturn Anglers for local tips, guides, etc).
- if you're comfortable backcountry skiing, you can ski down to Minturn from Vail via the Minturn Mile (at your own risk)
- no highway noise or crowds!!!
- Minturn is a real town, established in the late 1800's and formally incorporated in 1904. Unlike Vail or Beaver Creek you feel like you're in a real town!!!
- Sonos sound system throughout the house
- Very high wifi bandwidth with a google wifi nested system throughout the house
- two big screen TV's in the family room and downstairs media room with streaming services. The upstairs TV has the Sonos bar and subwoofer so it sounds great for loud movies.
- Large GE washing machine and dryer for getting your ski gear ready to use again
Reasons this place may not be for you:
- you want to be walking distance to the lifts of Vail/beaver Creek (Minturn is a 10 min drive, bus ride or uber ride away)
- you want to party like a rock star in Vail or Beaver Creek and not have to drive or Uber home (Minturn is a local scene)

What makes this property unique
Live like a local, have your own house right on the river in the heart of the Vail Valley, easy access to all the fun.
The hot tub overlooking the river is epic after a hard day of playing.
