THE BUNKHOUSE

The Bunkhouse offers 40 dormitory-style bunks in completely enclosed pods that provide privacy with a curtain, light, and outlet. Each ground-floor unit has parquet floors, mountain views, and a walk-in shower. Shared bathrooms include grab rails for accessibility, and the rooms have air-conditioning and heating.

A shared kitchen with pro-level equipment and three double-door fridges lets guests store and cook meals. The common area has couches, a TV, board games, and an outdoor fireplace with picnic area. Ski equipment hire is available on site, and the hostel provides ski storage, lockers, and a vending machine.

The hostel sits in Minturn, 50 km from Eagle County Regional Airport, with a free bus stop directly in front that goes to Vail in 8-10 minutes. A second bus connects to Avon and Beaver Creek Resort, 10 minutes away by car. Walking distance to all restaurants in Minturn and close to Charter Sports Vail Pass Bike Tour and Sage Outdoor Adventures.

The Bunkhouse is wheelchair accessible with lower bathroom sinks, toilets with grab rails, and tactile signs. It is an adults-only property with a designated smoking area and street parking included. Express check-in/out, luggage storage, and CCTV in common areas and outside are provided.
