The Bunkhouse

Are you looking for a Home Away from Home! Well, stop looking and book your stay NOW!!!! Truly a great experience each and every time I have stayed (yup I've been multiple times). Nancy was super accommodating my most recent stay which was pretty last minute. If you are looking for a host that is professional, friendly, and authentic, then you are looking for Nancy. The overall experience is top notch from the facility itself to the community experience with all the other guests. Each visit I have met new people that are sociable and freely willing to engage in conversation. I've told myself multiple times I'm going to go to bed early just so that I can get an early start for the next day; only to find myself staying up much later than I wanted to because I got caught up chatting away with new acquaintances. The facility is very clean, and the accommodations are just right, regardless of the length of your stay. Nancy and her crew are the type of hospitable folks that make your stay feel like an extension of your own home. I also want to give a shout-out to Alex for being so welcoming on each of my follow up stays. It's always nice when you are remembered, but when you can tell that someone is authentic when they greet you with a smile on their face while they say "Welcome Back!" honestly it just starts your stay off on an even more positive note!

I stayed at the bunkhouse with my friend Tony this weekend and had the best experience ever on our snowboarding trip. It was such a blast and the staff was so professional and the facility was so clean. The pods were so spacious it was like having my own little hotel room. It was right In between Vail and beaver creek. The town of Minturn had many awesome restaurants in walking distance. The owners Nancy and Fisher were two of the coolest host you could ever ask for. I can’t wait to come back later this season and stay again.

A great spot to stay that is close to Vail. The Bunkhouse was a great spot as a solo traveller to stay. The bunk room with the pods is great, you have privacy in your own space and they are relatively sound proof - I couldn't hear anyone snoring until I would get out of bed. The kitchen Is well equipped and the bathrooms really clean. There are three buses out the front that come on the hour to take you to Vail between 7 and 9am and then two at 4 and 5pm to bring you back. A great spot to stay.

A wonderful, cozy, welcoming place to stay when skiing Vail or Beaver Creek. The owner and staff were super friendly and helpful. They invited me to join them in town for dinner the first night, it was really nice to meet other skier staying there, since I was solo. Loved the privacy of the pods and cute town of Minturn. Highly recommend!

Fist time using the bunkhouse but won't be my last. Nancy and her team were all very welcoming. The environment was very relaxed and all other guest were amazing too. There are some really great restaurants you can walk to and the bus can take you to vail transportation center quickly. Uber ride back is also not very expensive. Awesome experience all around

Just stay here. Don’t think about it. Just do it. I spent 8 days here as a solo traveller and didn’t want to leave. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Some hostels have a weird vibe between the long stays/live in staff and short stays. This place is like a family home. The kitchen is well appointed, the bunks are like little capsules and feel private and the bathrooms are remarkably clean for a hostel. The town of Minturn is cute but small. Plenty of restaurant options but you’ll need to get groceries from the Safeway in Vail or Walmart in Avon. Easy buses morning and afternoon to and from Vail. Cannot recommend enough.

The bunkhouse is a great place for anyone looking to visit the Vail area. I have stayed here many times and will continue to keep coming back. The staff are friendly and welcoming and will treat you like family! Moreover most of the guests during the winter are looking to ski or snowboard and you are sure to make friends along the way, so don't be afraid to come alone. I have been fortunate enough to come alone and with a small group of friends and have never had a bad experience. Most recently I stayed in an upper pod which provided a nice quiet relaxing experience in between snowboarding days. In the off time there are many good restaurants and spots to hang out at in Minturn. Everything you need is a short walk away. The bus stop to go to and from Vail Mtn is located right across the street from the bunkhouse and makes getting there and back very straightforward while avoiding parking etc. I would recommend the bunkhouse to anyone who is looking for a great alternative to expensive AirBnBs in the area. This is a cost effective way to get your days on the mountain in. Moreover for single travelers or small groups you will be sure and find like minded people from all over the world with unique stories and backgrounds. Looking forward to lots more memories made and shared at The Bunkhouse!
