Postcard Cabins Beaver Creek

Me and my girlfriend spent the weekend at the postcard cabins in Beaver Creek. Our stay was really enjoyable and peaceful. My only small complaint that I had was that our bed was a little hard for my back, but that did not ruin my stay.

We had a fabulous time! Everything in the cabin was well stocked, no need to bring any cooking pots/pans/utensils as it is all here! Included in the destination fee is wood, fire starters, snacks, bottled water, and a s’mores kit. So relaxing and serene and great attentive staff. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back.

Very enjoyable, peaceful and calming for an all-too-short single night between regular hotel stays while passing through the area.

While planning travel the Marriott site included this one with the usual hotel choices and we decided to give it a try even though this wasn't a camping trip. The cabin was more like a cozy hotel room than other types of car-camping places we've visited, so it wouldn't be necessary to have camping skills to enjoy quiet time here in the middle of nature.

With our visit being late fall and early in the week, there were maybe 6-7 other occupied cabins that were well distributed around the entire site, meaning no one had immediate neighbors. If this was done deliberately, which I suspect it was, it was much appreciated. Too many times we've had off-peak stays when a facility put all the guests in one area. While this saves staff/housekeeping work/time, the guest experience is often negatively affected.

We appreciated that all other guests appeared to desire a peaceful stay. No one played loud music, had loud conversations, excessive dog barking, etc. The firewood was good and well dried, meaning less smoky and very easy to start a fire with the included fire starter and lighter. Just keep in mind that this wood will burn vigorously and it will be easy to blast through a bundle, so if you want it to last, start with a few and add a piece every so often to keep the fire going. The resort fee includes 3 bundles per day (apparently) and additional bundles are $9. We also enjoyed the s'mores kit as a nice dessert to our dinner.

Random things that come to mind: the supplied lantern was not very bright. If you want supplementary outdoor lighting after dark, bring your own or use car headlights. Staff were promptly reachable by text, even after midnight, though I'm not sure if they were actually on-site. Nonetheless, our late night message was relayed to the morning crew and properly fulfilled. We actually had zero in-person interaction with staff, which was OK. Everything that required communication was done through the text chat initiated by them prior to check-in. Our cabin didn't have a mirror. Not a big deal for us, but might add a kink if needing one and those in the car aren't sufficient. Hot water was hot and lasted for a shower, but towards the end it was necessary to frequently adjust the knob to keep it warm enough. Probably a good warning that it's nearing the end. Just give it time to recharge the tank between showers. We also had decent cellphone reception.

We brought our own food and cooked dinner both on the cook top and grill over the fire. There wasn't a microwave, so don't count on that to reheat takeout or leftovers.

What one doesn't appreciate from the supplied map of the campsite, or casually from Google Maps, is that site itself is quite elevated from the river flowing around it. It was a pretty sheer 30-40 foot drop from our site (blocked by a low fence), meaning you're not going to wander from your site over to the river.

On the whole I would say this facility is aimed at adult couples, solo travelers or small families looking to have some quiet time. It's not a suitable destination to keep children occupied beyond quiet campsite activities. There are no 'fun' amenities for physical activities beyond the short hiking trail.

My wife and I scheduled a quick getaway for our anniversary and we could not have picked a better place to unwind! The cabins were absolutely perfect. Clean, bright, and with so many little details taken care of, such as s’mores kits, fire wood, utensils and plates. We had a nice little walk on the nature trail before cooking dinner over the fire. The bed was very comfortable and waking up to the nature views out the big window was awesome. 10/10 we will be back.

We loved our stay here! The cabin was very clean and cute. We arrived later than expected, I can't see very great at night to read the signs, but the lady working came outside and was super nice giving directions to our cabin. We hope to return when we have more time to enjoy the area. Also, this is a great place for traveling with pets. Our Schnoodle and Maltipoo enjoyed not having to navigate a hotel to go outside.
