Beaver Creek lodging sits in three mountain villages, Beaver Creek Village, Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead, plus the town of Avon in the valley below. For ski-in/ski-out, Beaver Creek's own lodging site points to places like The Osprey, the SnowCloud condos and Bear Paw in Bachelor Gulch. Beaver Creek plans to open for the season on November 25, 2026.
Opening week runs into Thanksgiving (November 26). Check Beaver Creek hotels for November 25 to 29, or compare Beaver Creek rates for your own dates.
Where should you stay in Beaver Creek?
Stay in Beaver Creek Village if you want restaurants, shops and the main lifts on your doorstep. Pick Bachelor Gulch or Arrowhead if you want a quieter base on the slopes. Choose Avon, the town at the bottom of the valley, if you'd rather stay off the mountain.
| Area | Best for | Places to look at |
|---|---|---|
| Beaver Creek Village | First-timers, families, après | The Osprey, The Pines Lodge, SnowCloud, Elkhorn Lodge |
| Bachelor Gulch | Quiet slopeside stays | Bear Paw, Horizon Pass Lodge |
| Arrowhead | Condos and homes for groups | Arrowhead Village condos and private homes |
| Avon | A base off the mountain | Hotels and condos in town |
Which Beaver Creek hotels are ski-in/ski-out?
Beaver Creek's lodging site lists The Osprey, SnowCloud and Bear Paw as ski-in/ski-out. The Pines Lodge is slopeside, a short walk to the lifts. Here's what each property's page says, checked October 21, 2026:
- The Osprey, a RockResort. A slopeside boutique hotel at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain, steps from the pedestrian village. The Osprey says it's closer to a chairlift than any other lodge in North America. It lists ski valet, a heated outdoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, a free continental breakfast and a free local shuttle. No pets.
- The Pines Lodge, a RockResort. A lodge in the aspen and pine groves, steps from the slopes and a short walk from the village. Besides hotel rooms, it rents one- to three-bedroom condos and three- to four-bedroom townhomes. It's pet friendly, with a year-round pool, a hot tub and a restaurant.
- SnowCloud. Condos that Beaver Creek describes as true ski-in/ski-out.
- Bear Paw, Bachelor Gulch. A ski-in/ski-out address in Bachelor Gulch.
Both RockResorts book on 1-888-598-4314, or through Beaver Creek's lodging page.
What about condos and homes for a group?
For a family or group, a condo or home usually makes more sense than two hotel rooms. Beaver Creek's site lists these:
- Arrowhead Village condos, a few steps from the Arrow Bahn Express lift.
- Arrowhead Village private homes, for more space and privacy.
- Elkhorn Lodge, next to the Beaver Creek Golf Course clubhouse.
- Horizon Pass Lodge, an alpine lodge at the top of Bachelor Gulch.
- Trapper's Cabin, a luxury cabin at 9,500 feet on Beaver Creek Mountain.
Can you save on Beaver Creek lodging?
Yes, if you have an Epic pass. Beaver Creek says pass holders get Epic Mountain Rewards savings when they book lodging, and 20% off food, lessons and rentals. Our Epic Pass 2026/27 guide covers which pass includes Beaver Creek.
Otherwise, compare dates. Check Beaver Creek hotels for Christmas week, December 24 to 27 against a January midweek stay, January 12 to 15 to see the difference for yourself. For a base in the valley, try hotels in Avon.
Should you stay in Beaver Creek or Vail?
Stay in Beaver Creek for a smaller, quieter village. Stay in Vail for a bigger mountain and a busier town. Our side-by-side of Beaver Creek and Vail goes deeper, and how far Beaver Creek is from Vail covers the drive. Staying in Vail instead? See the Vail hotels directory.
