All great recommendations, I would also add
Sheraton Mountain Vista Villas, Avon/Vail Valley
Marriott's Mountain Valley Lodge @ Breckenridge (Or Residence Inn Breckenridge)
Virtually every place mentioned already will have terrific hiking and even better beer. If you're looking for outdoors + beer closer to Denver, look at staying in Boulder.
You'll have a great time regardless of where you end up deciding and don't overthink your choice. Have fun!
