The Osprey

Very nice place. Outstanding staff. Friendly. Clean. 2 reasons it was not 5 star. 1. Room was too warm. Even with windows down all day, 30-40ish degrees outside, it was warm in room at night. AC does not work in the winter I heard. Slept with no sheets. Not a big deal but weird nonetheless. 2. WARNING. Even after all the money to stay at Osprey, they charge $35 per night vallet mandatory. Even if you dont use you vehicle. To me thats Ludacris. Maybe I should have read the fine print but aweful overcharging. Maybe $10 fine, but $35 is just gouging.

Two more nights left at the fabulous Osprey!|I was so close to booking the park Hyatt, so thankful I didn’t.|The Osprey is simply the best location, steps from not only the lift but village & all!|Front of house staff, ski concierge, restaurant staff are all super friendly, warm & helpful. We took the two bed condo which is huge, immaculately new & clean, everything you could need. |We will highly recommend The Osprey & hopefully visit again some day. |Must visits: Hooked, Citrea, Fattoria & Golden Eagle.|Thanks again team, Jess, Spencer, Trent, Sam & Carolyn & every one front & behind the scenes who make the Osprey an Outstanding Hotel.

We had a fantastic time! The staff really makes this place. Madison was so kind! Give that girl a raise. She was tip top. If she didn’t know the answer, she would go out of her way to find it. Spencer was great! Very family friendly. Thank you all for making our stay so memorable

We have stayed at the Osprey multiple times both in the winter and summer. In the summer/fall you can enjoy Beaver Creek and the nearby Vail. Flowers, greenery and hiking. Super relaxing. You can get a golf and stay package with discounted rates for junior golfers. Red Sky Ranch is my happy place for sure. Both courses ( Roman and Fazio) are world class and part of Vail Resorts. Beaver Creek golf course is also an option and in the village. The room is spacious and breakfast is included. Friendly and helpful staff. The bathroom is small and the water pressure is low but manageable. Snacks and water/electrolytes are provided for free. We even saw a bear once wandering the distant ridge from the fun hot tub and pool area. In the winter, on a sunny day, Beaver Creek is magic. And Vail is close by, so you can sky both locations with the Epic pass. Beaver Creek is not as busy as Vail and the lift lines are shorter. Vail of course has the back bowls and better skiing but Beaver Creek is nice too. Perhaps more snow fall in Beaver Creek which can lead to less visibility on the slopes when it is snowing. And keep in mind very difficult to get a room in the winter at the Osprey as it is a smaller resort. And certainly much higher priced in the winter compared to the less visited summer. The gondola is running now only at weekends entering September. In summary: Love the Osprey and look forward to the next time.

We are excited to be visiting The Osprey, This place has been highly recommended to us for the past three years. We are there December 14th-19th 2025 Do let me know if you also plan to be there this same week with Teens, looking to combine a private intermediate lesson or similar (snow dependant 😉🤞)

Just stayed here for a wedding on the mountain and had a WONDERFUL experience. Friendly and helpful staff, easy access to trails and the village, and beautiful, comfortable, clean rooms. Bonus points for the leasable backpack and open-able windows to help make the most of my first mountain experience. Would recommend and hope to stay again soon 😄

I had an excellent experience thanks to Madison at the front desk. From the moment we arrived, she was kind, professional, and attentive to every detail. She made us feel welcome and handled everything we needed quickly. Highly recommended this place, very good location.

Great resort/hotel, service, and location. Clean, great free European style continental breakfast. They offer a free shuttle within the vicinity.

The best place to stay in BC! The breakfast is great and the hot tub is an amazing place to start or end your day. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean.

I've stayed at the Osprey on and off since 2015. The hotel has decided to slowly degrade service and staff. While expensive, no staff were there to help with heavy bags upon arrival. The front desk just watched me fumble as I tried to get in. Gone is breakfast as well, as the Osprey now offers a Motel 6 like continental breakfast.--only at staggering prices. Avoid. Plenty of other better service hotels in close proximity.

Staff and hotel are AMAZING! Perfect spot. Just across the bridge to the village and next to the lift. Can't say enough good things about the breakfast, staff and location!

My sister and I had a fabulous trip at The Osprey. The room was very nice and the we loved the staff. Ricardo, Trent, Ben, Ian, & Sam were phenomenal. They made our trip very enjoyable by providing excellent service to us-- they made sure we had all of our gear, helped us get around town, and always had a smiling face. I recommend staying here if you enjoy a ski in - ski out resort. The location was unmatched. We were very close to everything!

What a great place to stay! We frequent Beaver Creek (2-3 times a year), but this was our first time staying at the Osprey. Great location with access to both sides of the mountain. One ski lift directly out the ski valet door. They have a great free breakfast, full of fresh fruit, cheese, bread options, seeds and juices. Super friendly and accommodating staff... special shout out to Trent, our ski valet. He made our kids stay extra special and treated us like family!

Great hotel! The service was amazing. Absolutely no complaints here. The chair lift is right out the back door. Seriously. We pulled up, the bellhop was right to our car and unloading withing minutes. He took our skis and stored them in the skii area for us. We didn't have to try to rangle them in our room. The service in all areas was fast and super friendly. Every single time. The room was very clean and modern. The maid even took her time cleaning every aspect of our room. There is a heated pool and hot tub that's nice after a long day of skiing. This will be our go to place to stay while in Beaver Creek.

I truly enjoyed our stay at this boutique ski lodge. Located only 25 feet away from the lifts, makes The Osprey the closest hotel to a chair lift in North America. Wow! Excellent attentive service from the Valet, the front desk, the cocktail waiter to the room service staff. Everyone greats you with a smile. The check in was quite efficient and fast. The front desk employees provided with all the information we needed for our short stay. The room was super clean and spacious. Great lighting, gas fire place and very comfortable beds. Every room is also equipped with mini fridge and Keurig coffee maker with Starbucks and Taso products. This property is in a perfect location, across the street from The Village where you can find shops, restaurants and bars. Perfect place to relax after a long day of skiing. During your stay you get: - Ski with direct access to Beaver Creek Resort. - Ski valet and storage. - Outdoor heated pool and hot tub with a perfect view of the mountains. - Fitness center. - Sauna and steam room. - Heated underground valet parking. I will definitely be back next season.

This hotel is very conveniently located just across the street from the cute little town. I love that one can call for transportation from anywhere in the area, and these little trips are fast and free! PROS: Staff was very friendly! My room was beautifully decorated in clean, simple lines with just enough "rough" from the stone fireplace to the rustic touches throughout. The shower was huge, and the lighting was really perfect throughout the room... warm and inviting. I had a terrific view of mountains, lifts, and a church steeple. Another thing I loved: the throw on the loveseat was simply divine - so soft! I slept with it every night. Also, housekeeping was thorough and fantastic, and room service was very quick. CONS: One elevator. For the entire place and all of the guests, there's just one elevator. That was really annoying. I ended up taking the stairs several times, and, because there didn't seem to be a/c in the hallways, it was just unpleasant. I only had one other issue, and that is with my last room service dinner - the jar of mayo that arrived with my burger was rancid, and that little bottle was sealed, so I thought it would be safe, but after tasting it, I almost lost my whole dinner. All in all, I'd recommend this place for it's great location, beautiful rooms, and excellent housekeeping. I might consider returning during cooler/cold months, during which I wouldn't mind having to run up and down the stairs ;)

Our room: Clean and comfortable- the perfect size for two. We loved the private fireplace and being able to watch the chairlift right outside our window. Amenities: We went to the pool at night and it was great. It was nice that it was heated and complimented the hot tub well. Appreciated that there was coffee and hot tea in the lobby in the morning. Location: Fantastic. You can be in the village in 3 minutes.

BOTTOM LINE: BEST & MOST ACCOMMODATING CUSTOMER SERVICE! If you ask me to describe every great thing I/we experienced about The Osprey, I could quite possible blow your mind. However, I will spare you the dura matter splatter so that you could experience it yourself when you visit The Osprey...I'm sure the staff will gladly help you clean-up :-) Let me summarize (sadly) my TOP 5 Pros and Cons: 1) Employees - unpretentious, always smiling, warm (-blooded). Yes folks, these people most definitely human--the kind that hold real conversations, make you laugh till you snort, and don't scavenge for tips by judging who is well-to-do and who is not. The service is not as forced or harried. They are simple people who are just great at what they do, whether it's ski/snowboard valet or reminding you to hydrate before you leave for a day on the slopes. 2) Atmosphere - If you expect an upturned nose and curtsies acknowledging your royal highness, stay at the Ritz Carlton down the hill. If you just want casual relaxation where a cup of hot cocoa and lounging in slippers at the fireside restaurant table apres ski is enough, this is your place. The decor is modern and cozy. 3) Amenities - The Osprey is a small boutique hotel. The accommodations are modern, but they only have 47 rooms. I guess this adds to the warmth that I love about this place. I'm not saying it's exclusive, but it definitely fills up fast. They have a small pool, a coed sauna, jacuzzi outdoors, and a fitness center but who really uses these facilities when the slopes are literally at your doorstep...which brings me to their BEST amenity. Strawberry Park Express Lift is only 10 steps away from the ski/snowboard valet's door. Centennial Express is also a 3 minute walk from the hotel. 4) Food and Bar - Although the actual 'restaurant' only seats around 20 people at best, the food is amazing and on par with places like Volt, Babbo, Passionfish, Brasserie Les Halles, etc. The serve lunch, apres ski, and dinner daily, but you sometimes need reservations for dinner during peak hours. They offer a tapas-style selection or entree portions, but the tapas are absolutely awesome for sharing and socializing. They also wowed me by their commitment to sustainable and local ingredients, which encompass most of the menu. We had the following delectable delights: DINNER +Ribeye with buttery polenta +Brussel spouts with asiago cheese +Shrimp with creamy grits +Spinach salad with lemon ceasar dressing +Truffled french fries +Freshly fried tortilla chips with fire roasted salsa and avocado relish +Diver scallops with pork belly DRINKS (they use 'Freshies', a local mix in all their drinks, AMAziNG!) +Spicy bloody mary (yum) +Don Julio margarita +JW Black Label sidecar +Local Oatmeal Stout 5) Lastly, I do have to end with something slightly negative to give a fair review. This resort is frequented by patrons with families. For the most part, we were one of only a few couples vacationing here. The walls are not well-insulated from noise, so every morning we would wake up to children bouncing off the walls and running down the hallways. Most people are generally awake by 6:30 to get breakfast and hit the slopes by 8:30, so if you like to sleep in, this might not be the place for you. But, who likes to sleep in when the snow is fluffly and the mountain is beckoning you to carve it? Happy Skiing/Snowbooarding and enjoy the Osprey!

We've stayed here twice now and have had great experiences. Everyone we've interacted with has been very friendly and professional. The first trip was a birthday trip and they unexpectedly brought us a bottle of wine. Very close to the village (the bridge connecting to the village brings you to the back of the property). The back, which we didn't even look at until the 2nd trip, has seating and some games. Our only issue was that we requested and received late checkout (noon), but the maid was knocking on the door at 11:15, even with the do not disturb sign on.

We stayed here in July so, while I cant comment on the skiing, this hotel is lovely. The staff were so friendly. I dont think I have ever encountered a more friendly, caring and attentive staff. You cant beat the proximity to the ski lift which is steps away from the back door. It runs during the summer as well. You are also walking distance from restaurants, shopping, parks, and trails (and skiing in the winter). While I only had one night here, when I came down the breakfast the bartender/waitress/all around awesome staff member remembered my name (and no, I wasnt making trouble at the bar the night before)! I wish I had more time to spend hiking and exploring around this lovely hotel property. The beds were super comfortable and the room was beautiful. Still, the best impression was left by the wonderful staff. I cant wait to stay again!

Stayed for a quick overnight trip. Parking was a little confusing, we pulled right into the parking garage not realizing there was valet. The attendant was extremely understanding and reparked us. Customer service was outstanding. The room was extremely clean and i appreciated the fact that no pets were allowed. We also stopped at the bar and had a good time talking with the bartender. I would highly recommend and plan to stay again

I absolutely LOVE this hotel. It is literally ~ 20 feet from the Strawberry Park lift. The staff bring your skis in and out for you. It couldn't possibly be more convenient. The staff is the friendliest and most accommodating of any hotel I've visited. Cole, in the ski chalet, helped get our boots on and off, gave us lift updates, and coordinated with the front desk to have our skis brought to our car. Mitch packed up our room and loaded our car... while we continued to ski for the day. They gave us a complimentary ride to/from a wedding we were attending. For our entire stay, multiple employees asked us about the wedding, because they remembered who we were. And we used their complimentary DVD rental... twice. A beautiful and conveniently located hotel. But most of all, the staff made us feel sooo pampered, and they seemed to truly enjoy doing it. Thanks guys!!

I am in love with this small hotel. It is cozy and cute and close to the little village. The staff has been excellent, especially the bartender Jaycee. The room was amazing: comfortable and clean with a fireplace, big shower, and flat screen tv. The food and drinks were delicious. It was noisy several times late at night, which was not their fault at all, but was to e expected on the weekend of Oktoberfest. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!!

This is really a hidden gem in Beaver Creek. Rooms are clean, it is literally slope side, with a lift, it's perfect. The downside is that it doesn't have the fancy lodge feel. The robes and hot tub are great for me- but if you want fine dining you'll have to look elsewhere. For half the price of most of the other resorts however- I always choose the Osprey because I like to spend my time on the slopes.

My Aunt was visiting the area, and asked me to post this review (shes not good with computers): Our stay in the area was a wonderful experience! The staff at this hotel couldn't have been more delightful and helpful! From Tim with Valet, always greeting us with a smile, our front desk agent Daisy who assisted us in so many ways, and the concierge Stacy who, being a local, found the BEST local restaurant for Rocky Mountain trout, a must on our list. The managers we met were always so sweet, Hailey, and one other. I can't say enough great things about this place. Wonderful breakfast, Fun views, super cute modern rooms and Unbelievable location to the Village of Beaver Creek. Our stay couldn't have been Better! - Gloria

Uber accomodating, young professional and good lookins staff and one of the loveliest boutique hotels that I've ever stayed at. We were all there for a wedding at Beano's Cabin and I'm so glad the Bride & Groom chose this hotel as THE hotel of choice. Bridal and Groom suite were SIC!!! Check out my pics and you will see what I'm talking about! Luckily, most of the hotel was occupied by our party otherwise we may have been kicked out. We are quite a rowdy crowd no matter where we go, at all hours of the day but again The Osprey staff was super patient and understood that we were there to celebrate a big event aka Conference for our close friends. I cannot begin to tell you how many people were locked out of their rooms at 9am, 9pm, 3am, 6am, 12pm etc... There were so many keys everywhere but we'd loose our own room key since they obvi don't write the room# on them for safety reasons. The Pool was EPIC! We enjoyed every morning and evening and sometime all day (yes Erin and I were there in the hot tub for 12 straight hours) don't ask me how or why... but it was amazing... it felt so good! If the sun was out, we'd catch some rays and take a dip in the cool pool and then when it started to mist or drizzle we'd hop in the jacuzzi and OH the scenery... Heavenly! So many different green hues... This hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village (I think that is what it is called) so if you are tired of room service or have tried one too many items at the bar then you can walk to a handful of restaurant or shops if that is what you can do because let's be honest... What recession? (total inside joke) I highly recommend this hotel for small groups or events like a wedding because I will tell you our experience would not have been same if we stayed at the bigger more well known hotel down the street. This hotel is quaint and within hours you feel like you know every staff member. I honestly loved my stay here and if I make it back to Beaver Creek in the newar future, would love to stay here. Oh and it was affordable too! I'm guessing in the wintertime, hotel rates sky rocket (probably triple) but summertime totally affordable!!!

The accommodations were just as nice as when I have stayed at the Osprey, and other Rock Resorts, before. However, we have made it a tradition to close down Beaver Creek and Vail, over the past seven years, or so. While the staff was very pleasant to deal with, it was obvious during our stay that their top priority was closing the hotel down for the season, not attending to the guest needs. We stayed through Sunday, April 16th, whick was the last day the hotel was open. That morning we attended 9:30 Easter Services at the Beaver Creek Chapel, then I was to meet up with the rest of my group to go skiing, while my girlfriend spent the day shopping in B/C and Vail. We asked if we could bring our bags found to store them for the day and pick them up in the afternoon, after I finished skiing. But, we were told that the hotel was being locked up at noon and their was no way they could keep our bags. Theyou said that the bags could be stored at The Pines, but in order for the staff to take them their they would need to be ready in 15 minutes, this was at 10:45. I had already changed into my ski clothes and called a cab to Vail. While my girlfriend was packing, the staff person stood in the room and encouraged her to hurry and finish packing. He told her that he was wanting to hurry so he could go skiing as well that day and needed to get our bags to The Pines as soon as possible. This type of customer service was very dissapointing and not what I have come to expect from The Osprey, or a Rock Resorts property. I understand the staff wanting to leave on the last day. However, I believe the last guest of the season should be treated with the same courtesy and given the same attention as the first.

My husband and I stayed at the Osprey last year after our wedding at the Beaver Creek chapel, because the reviews described it as a romantic hotel. When I booked the room I let the staff know over the phone that we were staying there over our wedding weekend. I asked if the room had a tub and I asked for a room with a view, they said it did have a tub and a view, I was also hoping that they may do something a little special in addition since again it was our wedding weekend; I was wrong thinking this. When we got to the hotel after our wedding the staff appeared pleasant as they greeted us; after entering the room we found no tub, a view of the non commissioned gondola, and no congratulatory glass of champagne. I called down asking if we could switch to a room with a tub, the front desk told us that we would have had to rent one of the condos which were booked for the weekend. My husband and I went downstairs to attend our reception the staff thanked us for being so accommodating, and told us that we were so much nicer than the other married couples. A few of the girls working at the desk were gossiping, stating "that if they wanted something nice for their wedding they should have got a condo". Thank you Osprey for our stay, it was eye opening.

Literally 10 ft away from the Strawberry Park express lift! Rooms are mountain chic. They come with a gas fireplace, couch and Hidef TV. The hotel also has a full bar, free wifi, small gym, outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Service was impeccable. Free parking too! Can't really ask for more in a hotel.

Pricey rooms for what you get during ski season. Prices in the Beav have went crazy. $650 a night is really over the top. The bar is great, the workers are even better. Bradley in the bar is the best. A great place to stay except I want to rent the room, not buy it.

The Osprey is surprisingly charming. The staff is friendly, extremely helpful, and actually seem really happy. We asked the front desk for a HDMI cable to plug our laptop into the tv and they brought one up the room. It's the little things that make me really appreciate a place. We came at a really slow time (mid August) so I'd be interested in coming back during ski season to see if it holds up, but I'm guessing it would. Rooms: Comfy and updated rooms. The rooms are spacious with oddly plenty of seating (couch in a window and ottoman). The beds are comfy. My only complaint, and maybe I'm an odd duck here, is that the pillows are all feather pillows. I feel like my head just sinks to the mattress with no support. Not their fault and I probably should have called the front desk. Decor was pleasing and didn't have the typical nauseating hotel carpet color schemes that drive you insane. Amenities: Small pool good for a quick dip, hot tub for 11, sauna, and steam room. Free wifi. Also, we received a card for free movies from the Redbox type machine in the lobby. I don't know if this is typical but a nice perk. It had some current releases and some other movies from the last year. Food: Small bar with friendly staff. Will bring drinks out to the pool. Lunch/dinner menu is small (like 10 times total) but decent for a little bite. We grabbed a salad and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Was surprised at the quality. Was not expecting a 4 cheese sandwich and fresh tomato soup. They have breakfast offerings that looked decent but we opted for other places. Next time we will give it a go Cons: Two night minimum when we stayed so not good for the one night trips. Small hotel where you miss the big hotel draws (full restaurant or s'more happy hour like the Park Hyatt). I find myself really searching for the cons here to make sure this is an authentic review. We just had a really good stay. Thanks Osprey! Until we meet again.

So if you enjoy noise this place is great. We stayed here a few weeks ago and the standard king room we stayed in left much to be desired. We moved rooms almost immediately because we could hear the teenage girls in the room next door and whatever movie they were watching, like they were in our room. We try not to complain, but called to move. So the staff was friendly and very accommodating (the majority of the 2 stars) and came quickly to move us. The staff is pretty good. Our new room was great until we heard the clicking of high heels from the room above us like an elephant. Then, the next morning we became quickly introduced to our adjoining neighbors hairdryer and all of the hiking plans they had for the day..at 7am on a morning we had planned to sleep in. The tapas "restaurant" is tiny and overpriced. We only ate breakfast and were told to get coffee in a disposable cup from the starbucks carafes in the lobby. Is a coffee mug while your sitting for breakfast too much to ask? We have stayed at many other Rock Resorts and the Osprey sort of feels like the Holiday Inn Express of the chain... We mentioned the noise and were told it is a older hotel that was renovated..proper wall/sound insulation would have been a good update to consider.. I can imagine it would feel more quaint in the winter, and there is a lift right outside the door., which is great....but if I were paying the winter rates with the noise we experienced I would be even more upset. Would we stay there again? sorry to say but no :(

Absolutely love this hotel. Beautiful location, extremely nice staff, and clean accommodations. I would definitely recommend the Osprey to anyone looking for an amazing hotel in Beaver Creek!!

This was our 4th time at the Osprey in as many winters. Each time, we've found that the staff manages to balance a level of service that is both unpretentious and top-notch. The Osprey is a small, boutique hotel, so do not expect a grand foyer and check-in area. But what it lacks in grandeur is made up with convenience: ski-in and ski-out is made available by the Strawberry Express Lift and President Ford's black diamond run just outside the back door, and the main Centennial Lift is only a few steps across the pedestrian walkway. The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the center of Beaver Creek Village. We stayed on the top (4th) floor on our most recent 2-night stay, so it was our first time in a deluxe King room versus the standard. Vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, double sinks in the bath area with an enclosed toilet, along with a separate stand-alone shower (no tub) with steamer. The room is appointed with an L-shaped sofa, a pivoting HDTV, mini fridge, safe, desk area, and large walk-in closet with two robes. In the past, we've always stayed in the standard rooms, which are quite a bit smaller but include a nice gas fireplace. High ceilings as well, but not vaulted. I have never had any issues with the "thin walls" that a few other Yelpers seem to have experienced, but we usually only stay here before and just after peak ski season, so perhaps I've been lucky to miss all the noise. The things we missed on this last visit that we've experienced during the other 3: turn down service (somehow our timing didn't work out on both nights); the hot tub was not functioning; and the steam room was out of commission as well. The pool is closed in the winter time. Thankfully the dry sauna was functioning! The car valet and the ski valet are always friendly. We are always immediately greeted as soon as we pull up, and they remove our luggage from the car and take them up to our room for us. Parking is included in the resort fee. The ski valet stores our skis and boots behind the dining area, and when you are ready to hit the slopes, he brings the skis outside for you as you pull on the boots that have been resting on mild air dryers. There is a basket of Nutrigrain bars for the taking as well. When you come back at the end of the day, either you will find a complimentary hot chocolate bar waiting for you, or if it's not set out, the bartender will happily make you one for free. We have never eaten here. However, we have relaxed in the lounge area with its huge long fireplace and comfy sofas. Complimentary NYTimes, USAToday, and Wall Street Journal. This most recent visit is a 4*, but because my three previous visits were so outstanding, they still get 5* out of me.

Best hotel with the best service! My family and I ended up at a terrible hotel and called Osprey at the last minute. We not only got a great room we also received a wonderful deal. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can't wait til the next trip there!

Here's the thing. The Osprey is great for a couple things. Awesome bacon and a killer location. Unfortunately, their lackluster staff and service made for an overall not so great stay. The facilities are not well kept and there is a lack of attention to detail. Wet towels left on the ground and waters not refilled after a full day of skiing. One of the waitresses was so rude to guests and non-guests alike it was off-putting. Another employee rejected providing us a ride on New Years because we had not tipped him previously to his liking. This is so unfortunate because there is so much opportunity here for the Osprey. It is a hidden gem that needs to be polished, refined and re-evaluated to reach its potential. Oh, one more thing too- we were promised a king suite room and they put us in the room next to the swimming pool so we were never able to open our shades once due to a lack of privacy. Very sad. Really wanted to love this place.

My fiancé recently surprised me with a stay at the Osprey. We were so pleased with our experience! 5 star hospitality. Cole and Ryan were so good to us- we never wanted for anything. The hotel restaurant has a wonderful dinner menu and they make the meanest moscow mule in the village. We will be staying again!

My stay here was amazing. The staff were really helpful and the location was extremely convenient. I would definitely recommend this hotel to those traveling to Beaver Creek.

For as close as this lodge is to the nearest ski lift, you would think my review would be much better. In fact, its convenience is the only thing that is truly great about this place. I hesitated to give it 3 stars versus only 2, but the amenities and proximity to the Strawberry Park Lift 12 push it over the top to 3 stars. The service, however, was terrible. Had this lodge been located anywhere other than its actual location, I would have given it 1 star. The good -- location, location, location. You literally walk out the back door to the Strawberry Park Lift. I'm talking 10 steps maybe. It is the closest lift to any resort in North America, so we're told. The ski valet was very helpful. You walk up, collect your skis, and head out. Very simple. They collect your skis at night, and store them for you while they warm your boots. The convenience of the lodge is second to none. You're a 2 minute walk into Beaver Creek Village, and very close to the ski school for the kids. The lodge also has free DVD rentals, which is great for kids, plus a Wii in the common area. The rooms have fireplaces and DVD players, but that's about it when it comes to the rooms. The bar food was tasty. The bad -- service sucked, other than one particular consierge lady and the ski valets. The bartender was rude. The housekeeping sucked -- not once was the shampoo in the showers changed out. I ran out after day 2 and had to get my own after that. We ran out of toilet paper and kleenex and had to go track down some more. Room service dishes were left outside of our door for hours. The rooms were kind of small, but I guess considering the tiny lot they had to build the place on, it was about as much as you could expect. Overall, the convenience outweighed the bad service. However, you pay for that convenience, as it is quite pricey. We would probably stay there again just for the fact of how close it is to everything. They do need to improve their service though, especially in this economy.

Loved this hotel. The service is great and the people are great. I loved our room. They give you plenty of water to drink which is a plus at high altitude. They give you coffee and hot chocolate in your room and free cookies at three in the village. They have free chair massage post skiing. The ski in and out is awesome with hot chocolate when you come in. The only drawback is the food in the dining room. I would give it 5 stars except for the food. Everything else was awesome.

Beaver Creek was a delight and staying at the Osprey is awesome as long as you're not too attached to room service or over the top service. We were there over a long weekend (non-holiday) and both times we ordered room service there were significant amounts of items that were no longer available on the menu. And there were no suggestions, just, "nope, dont have that anymore". Seemed like all the staff at the hotel was college kids who were there to get a little extra ski money during the season. Definately not the Ritz Carlton treatment you might recieve a few bluffs over. That said, you cant beat the adorable hotels location...right next to the lift and hop skip to Strawberry Park Lift. The morning buffet is high-end and charming and for $20 a great deal. The gym is nicely appointed but lets face it who is working out during a ski trip! So, it has a nice steam room and hot tub outside is just perfect for relaxing. Youre right in the middle of town so you can walk to just about anything and grab a quick starbucks in the morning and finish off the day with free smores at the Park Hyatt. The decor is mountain contemporary and Rock Resorts is first rate no matter where you go. Overall, the experience was great and if you take the staff with a grain of salt, you'll have a fantastic time in this super-charming updated boutique hotel.

I give the Osprey a two-star review mainly based on the service I received checking in. My husband surprised me with a quick getaway last Saturday night. We own a business and it's rare for us to leave so I was extremely excited for the 14 hour trip. We arrive at 10 and received our room key for what we thought was a room with a king bed. After getting to the room, we realized there were two queen beds instead. My husband called downstairs and the lady answered matter of factly "the rooms get oversold here sometimes". We were unhappy at the response and she promised to call us back. She called us back soon and said she can give us the condo unit for a $50 up charge. Hearing that we grew even more upset and finally she begrudgingly said "all right just come down here I'll give you the keys" - I'm sure to get us off her back. The room was very nice but the entire interaction left a terrible taste in our mouths. There was no empathy, no understanding and we even felt a little swindled at her attempt to get us the condo. We had absolutely no need for such a huge space and really just wanted to peace and quiet for a couple hours with what we did pay for. I hope management sees this and they're able to coach to situations like this. We understand things happen and the rooms get overbooked but there's a proper way to speak to guests and handle it- and this gal did not represent your hotel well.

What a Great place! modern accommodations, great rooms and literally 10 steps from the Strawberry express lift. A close walk over to the main Beaver Creek shopping area. Pluses were the service, bar and location. Minus would be dining area, its very small.

The Osprey was great! We had formal there and the staff were very professional, friendly, and polite. I will definitely come back with my family over Christmas break. Hotel was very nice, rooms were great, and pool/hotub were so much fun. Thanks for a great stay!

As someone previously noted, the walls are thin and we could hear music from the adjoining room all evening/night long. We called the front desk twice with no result. I finally walked up there in my pajamas at 11pm and asked him to call. He said he didn't even call them the last time because "he couldn't hear it". Of course he can't: he's not in my room! After he called in my presence, the music stopped. We were awoken by water running and many other noises throughout the night and morning too. On top of that, they double charged us! Save your money and don't book at this over priced, snobby hotel.

I stayed here in the summer during a fantastic weekend in Beaver Creek. Everything about this hotel was top notch; the rooms were well appointed, newer and clean. Every person working at the hotel was very helpful and accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to return to The Osprey.

If you are going to Beaver Creek and need a hotel....The Osprey is a great choice. Why? 1) One of the Ski lifts is right out the back door. STEPS out the door. Crazy. Never seen one that close! 2) It's small, quaint and perfect. The type of place where the staff get to know you and cares! 3) The closet in the room I was in was MASSIVE. 4) They do have 4 bedroom places with kitchens...so you have lots of options if you are traveling with other families. See video below on the 4 queen bunk-bed set up. Wow!! 5) The main ski area in across the street or if you are in skis you can travel across the walkway. Easy peasy. 6) They have a game area and free movies! (again - watch the video) 7) there is a pool and a gym! Small but what more do you need when the mountain is your friend? Watch this video below to see what it's REALLY like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-HRLfLWU9M The Osprey was a great place to stay. Convenient and fun.

Wow! Had a great time. Great place and staff! Another beautiful Colorado area. Will return for golf and skiing

Chelsea, Macy and Stacy at front desk accommodated a last minute check-in with really great effort and pleasant attitudes. Could not get out on flight -- so very last minute. Great location, super convenient. Everyone was really nice to us and very gracious.

I came with 3 of my girl friends for a 3 day Christmas getaway. It surpassed any of my expectations immediately. Upon arrival, we had free valet service and help with our luggage immediately. The room was clean and spacious, comfortable bed, with a cozy fireplace! The bartenders were super friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We had dinner there one night with great service and food. We ate at the Ritz- Carlton another night and had free shuttle service to and from the Osprey. Convenience to the lifts and the Village was icing on the cake for our visit. Loved all the staff. Thanks for making our stay magical!

Had a great stay, a great dinner and a great lunch. A really fun boutique hotel and lounge. Don't hesitate to get a runny fried egg on the burger at lunch. Don't hesitate to get the homemade chips and bacon wrapped quail drumettes at dinner. Top it all off with an easy and safe walk into the village on your own private bridge...

A very respectable five; I was irritated one morning because I couldn't get my car out of valet parking yet I had to use valet parking so the manager took off several fees from the charge and I was very appreciative. The employees service and attitudes are among some of the things this place really has going for it. It's comfortable, low-key, and very nice.

We loved this boutique hotel. The ski valet and access to a ski lift is superb. Makes skiing easy and a pleasure when you come in at the end of the day and there are slippers for your feet, and hot chocolate at the ready! Staff could not have been nicer. They knew who you were after day one. Our room was a deluxe large room with a pitched ceiling (room 404) and a beautiful view of the ski slopes. One of the only issues we saw was that there is only ONE elevator for the hotel. This has to serve the guests, the housekeeping staff, the bell staff etc.... It really is something they should address because many times you have to wait unreasonable times for the elevator. The Fireside Grill was great. We had breakfast there every day and several dinners as well. We would definitely return to this hotel!

We loved the Osprey. The staff is extremely helpful, particularly Allie. We were here in early June (some things including trails are closed, but we didn't mind.) The Osprey is super close to everything!

I liked the entry staff and the room was cozy and clean. They are quite friendly and it is located conveniently to the slopes. I really enjoyed the entry staff with their enthusiasm and courtesy. The female manager up front was a DELIGHT! I wish I could give them a higher rating. My two big issues that stopped a 4 or 5 star rating was, first, the food which was way too pretentious, un tasty and ill planned and cost far too much for the piffle you get on the plate and secondly, the pushy "turn down" service people who don't mind interrupting a movie, dinner, or what have you to make you come to the door each night (because they are banging on it saying 'turn down service?!). You had better stay dressed until they come by with their thundering caravan banging on all the doors. Planning my relaxing evening at the mercy of that staff schedule got on our nerves. It is our time to relax not jump to their attention. The food? I don't know who plans or cooks that menu but please let someone who knows food go back to the drawing board. It's two star food at best- with five star prices. You will wish you had a sandwhich from down the road. 150 dollars, for 2 people, is far too much for a dinner you have to pick and hunt to find a tasty bite. I went to bed hungry two nights wishing for a Gordon Ramsay visit to the kitchen. I mentioned the flaky menu I hope? Crab stuffed avocado what? Brown lettuce with substitution fillers?! Noooo its not. Too bad, it is such a cute place. No I probably will find a better place next time with acceptable room service/food and less door rattling staff.

There is no place in the world that makes you feel more welcome. A great lodge feel with terrific service. Rooms are spacious with terrific views. Linens and beds are very nice. Staff make you feel welcome and often address you by name. You can't beat how close it is to the lift!!!! Try this place and you will understand why so many guests become regulars!!!!
