The Miniturn Inn: A Charming Alpine Escape in Vail Colorado

A Cozy Haven in West Vail

At GoSno.Co, we adore spots that blend Vail's alpine allure with genuine hospitality, and The Miniturn Inn nails it perfectly. This family-run 9-room B&B, just 4 miles from Vail Village in the serene West Vail corridor, is our go-to for guests craving an authentic, no-frills mountain stay. Built in 1984 and lovingly renovated in 2023, it's the antidote to cookie-cutter resorts—no fees, free parking, and owners who live on-site and treat you like family. We've shuttled countless guests here over the years, dropping them off refreshed and ready to explore, with easy pickups for seamless transitions from airport to après.

Step into The Miniturn Inn and feel the warmth wrap around you like a favorite sweater—rustic wood-paneled walls, plush furnishings, and charming decor create an intimate, homey atmosphere that's equal parts cozy and elegant. With only 9 rooms, it's never crowded; it's a place to unwind by the gas fireplace or soak in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. We love it for that unpretentious luxury that mirrors Vail's spirit, making it the ideal spot to decompress after a day on the slopes. It's on our must-stay list because this tranquil vibe provides the perfect counterpoint to mountain thrills, and our shuttles make the 4-mile trip from Vail Village a breeze.

The Miniturn Inn has been a beloved Vail fixture since 1984, born from a family's dream to create a personal mountain retreat amid the growing resort scene. The 2023 renovation breathed new life into its alpine bones, blending original rustic charm with modern touches like heated bathroom floors and L’Occitane amenities. It's a testament to enduring hospitality in a town that's seen it all. At GoSno.Co, we appreciate this legacy because it roots your stay in Vail's authentic past, much like our service grounds your trip in reliable, local know-how.

The Miniturn Inn keeps it simple and satisfying, with a focus on homemade goodness that fuels your Vail adventures. Breakfast is the star—a complimentary spread of fresh, locally sourced delights like fluffy pancakes, farm-fresh eggs, and seasonal fruits, served in the sunlit dining area. Evenings call for the cozy bar, where craft cocktails and fine wines pair with delectable small plates. For dinner, hop our shuttle into Vail Village for its world-class dining scene. It's on our favorites because this thoughtful menu caters to every mood, from pre-ski energy to post-run unwinding, all without the fuss.
