The house
MarriottEagle River ski lodge
This riverside lodge combines quick lift access to Beaver Creek with the down-to-earth rhythm of year-round Avon.
What it’s good at
Notable
Dedicated ski valets, summer fly-fishing excursions, and an on-site gondola to Beaver Creek.
Listed
Residential suites feature gas fireplaces, with nightly live music and hot chocolate downstairs.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The overall vibe is contemporary mountain without the kitsch—textural wallpaper in bark-like patterns, woodland greens and warm browns, gas fireplaces under large alpine photographs.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A paved trail right outside connects to forty miles of valley paths, and complimentary shuttles run to Vail and Beaver Creek.

The rooms
Low-slung seating helps when pulling off ski boots, and under-bed compartments keep heavy winter gear tucked away.
Pool and hot tubs
Bring a swimsuit.
Three infinity hot tubs steam along the riverbank, set beside a year-round outdoor lap pool.
The spa
Poultice massages use heated pine and sage, and fourteen treatment rooms sit beside steam lounges and a salon.
The gym and pilates studio
TechnoGym cardio machines look out onto snowy pines, and dedicated studios host Pilates reformer and aerial yoga sessions.
At the table
Colletta serves scratch pastas and wood-fired pizza beside the river, and the fifth-floor Lookout Bar pours cocktails over valley views.
How it began
A recycled rubber roof helped the property become Colorado's first LEED-certified resort when it opened in 2008.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
