About this property
Vail Ski and Trout Haven, Riverfront, Hot Tub, Mountain Views. Minturn living.
(Note: for some reason VRBO shows Vail as 49 miles away from Minturn... but that's not correct. It's 7 miles and a 10 min drive to Vail from our house door-to-door. Similar distance to Beaver Creek)
Welcome to your new favorite place! What people love most about Minturn is that it is a 10 min drive to Vail/Beaver Creek but it feels miles away, with no highway noise and a real historic, charming town (Minturn has real history and charm). This home is on one of the best lots in Minturn with 140' of riverfront, epic views and 1 block from Main St (shops, food, etc). All beds and bedding are very high quality and super comfortable - think Ritz or Four Seasons quality (all Cal King).
There is a video in the picture gallery that will give you a great feel of the layout - we have completely refurnished the place since this video with newer more contemporary furniture (Restoration Hardware, etc). The pictures show the new furniture.

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)
- only 10 minutes from Vail or Beaver Creek but it feels totally remote

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.
