The Bunkhouse - Backpacker Hostel in Minturn - 175 Williams St #102, USA

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!

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 crew was friendly, the facility was always clean. The bathrooms smelled great. The bed was comfortable. The random group of people there were friendly as well. I had an amazing time and if I go back to snowboard at Beaver Creek, this is my number one place to stay.

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

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!

This was my second annual Jan trip to the Bunkhouse. I stayed for 12 nights this time. They have the best staff ever and I am so thankful Nancy founded this place. I always feel incredibly safe at the Bunkhouse. They don't tolerate any non-sense and everyone is so friendly there. It's hard not to be happy in Minturn. There is plenty of great food and public transportation around. Ubers and Instacart are available in the area if you don't rent a car like me. They have a great full kitchen with containers you can use. I was able to work remote three days (at the Bunkhouse and Sunrise Minturn across the street) and shred 8 while I was there. I also really enjoyed some yoga across the street. I can't be thankful enough for the Bunkhouse's existence. Even night time walks are great to take a moment near the river two blocks from the Bunkhouse or enjoy the silhouette of the mountains or the stars. Thanks Nancy, Fisher, and the super star team!
