The cheapest accommodations in Vail and Beaver Creek? As of press time, for a mid-December check-in, that’d be a single room at the Avon Comfort Inn (from $95; choicehotels.com), or a single bunk in the dorm at the Bunkhouse in Minturn ($81.65, vailbunkhouse.com). For those who prefer a slopeside room with a view on the other end of the economic spectrum, options abound.

Chateau Beaver Creek

The best room in this mountain house of luxury (as pictured above) is a three-story, slopeside five-bedroom private residence with a marble soaking tub and an outdoor jetted spa with mountain views, a private garden, and vaulted ceilings, with the Splendido dining room and its chef at your service. 970-949-1616; chateaubeavercreek.com

An upper-tier five-bedroom condo here sleeps 12 and includes creekside views, a private shuttle to and from the lift, and privileges to an 18,000-square-foot health club with a 20-meter lap pool. 844-722-2733; wyndhamvacationrentals.com
