John Fielder's Best of Colorado - "For Plush accommodations, The Minturn Inn on Main Street in Minturn is a bargain in the summer and makes an excellent laid-back base camp for all the hiking and biking activities in the area." 

Lonely Planet - "The Minturn Inn is a delightful B&B housed in a restored 1915 home along the Eagle River, adjacent to the White River National Forest. All 10 rooms are tastefully furnished and comfortable. The 'premier' rooms featuring their own fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and two person Jacuzzi. The friendly owners are long time residents of both the inn and the town and have a wealth of knowledge about the area. Rates vary for season and room type--anywhere from $89 to $309--but they are well worth it. "
