This 1800 sq ft cabin sits on one of the most coveted properties in West Vail. It is nestled right on the Gore Creek and just minutes away from all major Vail chair lifts. It has been recently renovated with modern appliances and fixtures while keeping its original charm. Built in 1912, Lena's Cabin is a true Vail landmark. The original owners, Hank and Lena Elliott, were two of the original settlers in the Vail Valley. Their granddaughter, who still lives in the valley, authored a book detailing parts of their journey with original pictures of the cabin.
Whether you're planning to ski, fish, hike or just spend time in the gorgeous Vail Valley, Lena's cabin is the perfect location.
The cabin has modern amenities while still preserving its historical mountain charm. With 4 bedrooms, this cabin offers privacy for all guests. Everyone has a bed. The queen bedroom located on the lower level of the cabin has a full bathroom and steam shower. The other 3 bedrooms are on the upper level. The master bedroom, with a king bed, has its own bathroom, which also has a large steam shower.
The additional second-floor bedrooms, one with a bunk bed, and one with a full bed, share a small bathroom located in the hallway. Lena’s cabin has a working wood fireplace which creates a very cozy environment. Firewood is provided.
There is an outdoor hot tub adjacent to the cabin. While relaxing in the hot tub, enjoy views of either Gore Creek or the National Forest.
The furniture in the family is extremely comfortable. Snuggle into the oversized, down-filled sofa and read about the history of the cabin in the book written by one of Lena's granddaughters.
The kitchen is well-equipped with Kitchen-Aid applainces, and there is a large dining table that will seat at least 8 people.
Some additional amenities the cabin offers:
gas stove
dishwasher
garbage disposal
coffee pot + filters
keurig
cookware
wood fireplace
cable
WIFI
steam showers
hairdryers
towels
linens
electronic code locks on doors
board games + puzzles

This is an exquisite property in a highly sought-after location on a private road in Vail. It sits directly next to Gore Creek, which offers exceptional fishing. There is a small grass front yard and the cabin borders the White Forest National forest.
There is access to the Town of Vaill's free bus system. The closest bus stop is the Underpass stop. It is approx. 5-7 minute walk from the front door. Everything you need access to is less than a 5-minute drive ... grocery store, liquor store, restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and parks. The closest Vail Mountain access is Lionshead Village, a 6-minute drive, which offers the gondola to the top of the mountain.

    A cabin that would have been nice away from the highway. The river is nicely right by the yard (as the picture show) but then it is the noisy highway. The highway goes unfortunately right through the Vail valley and this property is very close to the highway. FYI: Some of the electrical outlets did not work which would be a problem for a longer stay to dry hair in bathroom etc. Nicely updated bathrooms!

    Wonderful property! More than met our needs. Loved all the new appliances and steam showers. Great place to take photos right outside the door. Creek is in front and we were able to fly fish!
