We felt so lucky to have found Lena's cabin for our trip to Vail. It is an authentic homesteader's log cabin from the late 1800's but it's been updated to have all of the modern amenities you'd ever need. The kitchen was well-stocked, making breakfast before a ski day super easy. It also has a table that comfortably seats 10 so we were able to have large dinners with friends too. We enjoyed movie nights on the big sofa, made smores in the fireplace and all jumped in the hot tub after a long day on the slopes. Gore Creek out front is beautiful and the kids enjoyed investigating the animal tracks in the snow. All the beds were comfy and the baths have large, soft towels. There was shampoo & conditioner in each but we brought our own. The washer dryer came in handy allowing us to wash clothes halfway through our stay. We drove to Lionshead daily - about 10 minutes. There is a free shuttle bus at the end of the driveway that the kids used when they didn't want to wait for the adults. All in all, a great place to stay and we look forward to returning!

We (family of 6) had a wonderful week stay at the cabin for spring break. The cabin had great space, old charm yet with all modern conveniences. The location was convenient for Vail and BC ski resorts. Great overall stay.

Very cool, updated, comfy cabin. 5 minute walk to the shuttle. Would definitely stay again.

This was a ski trip for us and it was nice to be so close to Vail with the crowds. We actually drove a parked. At cascade every day. We rented skis there and it was valet so we never had to bring home skis or boots at night. It was 30 dollars a day to park right across for the lift. Cascade lift was never busy and a easy way to get on the mountain. At night time we drove into Vail for dinner. The cabin was great lots of room for the 5 of us and Kim was very friendly.

The cabin is beautiful, as pictured, and close to everything we wanted to do. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had what we needed. Our only issue was cleanliness and some missing touches that could have made a better first impression. The person(s) who prepared the cabin for our stay left a window open with a screen that was not properly secured and we found a shocking number of flies buzzing around windows and light fixtures. We killed dozens of them upon arrival and into the next day, but hardly saw any after we kept the windows closed. A number of the screens need to be replaced or secured better. Overall, it felt like the cabin was well-prepared for winter rental, but not summer. There's no a/c (as indicated in the listing), so it would have been ideal to have windows open but we feared the return of the flies. The fans that we had to hunt for should have been out, or a note to tell us where they were. There were very beautiful, but extremely, faux fur coverings on all the beds, and nothing light to replace them with. There were no towels or waste baskets in the bathrooms. We had to find them. And there was visible dust and debris under the furniture and in the fridge, so whoever cleaned did a poor job. Those are all easy fixes with the right person(s) taking care of the place. So I would still recommend the property.

Beautiful older cabin. Excellent trout fishing in creek in front yard.

Cabin was cute and had easy access to the ski hills. We did have some issues and Kim was great about responding and offering solutions. This wasn’t a cheap cabin and, based on the listing details, I expected more than what I felt we received, especially having stayed in many Vail VRBOs that have always been perfect. First, the steam shower in the master bathroom upstairs didn’t work. This was a huge disappointment as I like heat after I ski. There is a hot tub outside (that they charge a fee for but Kim waived the fee for us since steam shower didn’t work) but it was not very hot at all despite being set to 104 degrees so we only used it once. The water in the master shower doesn’t get very hot so couldn’t even take a long hot shower. The bed in the master bedroom is very soft with minimal support. One other thing to note about the bathrooms - no shampoo, conditioner, soap, or lotion is supplied…not even a starter supply. This was a first for us in Vail and we didn’t realize it so had to run out at 9pm to buy it. The other issues we had were with the kitchen. We ski hard and want to just come home, cook, and relax. This was a bit of a challenge in this house. Kim was quick to help out which we really appreciated. We didn’t realize there wasn’t a grill so she gave us one to use. The oven setting panel on the stove wasn’t working so we had no idea what the temperature was. She did bring us over a temperature gauge. One of the burners on the stove had to be lit with a match. The supply of pots and pans was minimal and very poor quality. There were no oven mitts to be found anywhere. And nothing but a washcloth to clean dishes afterwards. When we needed knives for one of our meals, we realized they only had one sharp knife (other than large chopping knives) so 4 of us had to share one knife. The owner lives right next door and she admitted she hadn’t been in it since purchasing it earlier this ski season. For the amount of money they charge, it would be great if they could get in and fix some things or at least update the listing to be correct since I know it’s hard to get repairs done these days. And add some supplies to the kitchen which can easily be found on Amazon.

The property was amazing and the whole process of checking in and out was simple and easy. Look forward to staying here again

very nice and well equipped.

We had a great time staying at this property. It has a great location and is easy to reach Vail from. The beds were comfortable in the living area was great to congregate. The steam shower was awesome. The washer and dryer were very helpful. The internet was excellent as was the kitchen.

We decided in this property because it is winter and we wanted access to a hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub here was filthy. When we removed the cover there was a carton of chocolate milk floating in the water. It was open but empty, or so we thought. When we go in the tub we realized how discussing it was. I can’t stress how disappointed we were in not having a hot tub to soak in. Other than that the place is amazing. We even fished in the gore creek right from the property.

Clean, cozy and great location! Super close to slopes. Some nice upgrades for a historic cabin. We’ll be back!

We had a great time staying at this Cabin. Extremely convenient -- less than 5 minutes from the grocery store / liquor store, and only ~10-15 mins drive to Lionshead in Vail, and only 20-30 mins from Beaver Creek. Having the whole property meant we weren't disturbing others, and they weren't disturbing us. We had a great time!!

Amazing cabin with all of the amenities! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time at my friend’s wedding in Vail. This home was wonderful, and the steam showers were a very nice touch!

The house was in a great spot, near grocery stores, Lionshead and a bunch of outdoor activities. The house was really well equipped with everything you need.

We had a lovely weekend in the Vail Valley. We went out for a family wedding so we mainly used the cabin for sleep and showers. It was perfect. Everyone had their own rooms and the showers were lovely. East access to restaurants and getting around the valley. Thanks

Beautiful cabin, very close to the slopes

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway in Vail. Great location and the cabin was fantastic.

Our stay was great! Short drive to the slopes, fishing right outside the door. Steam showers are great. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful experience. Hosts are very helpful and easy to communicate with. Location couldn’t have been better. Bus stop is a short 5 min walk across the street. Easy and short bus ride to lions head and vail village. There was plenty of room for us in the house and everyone was comfortable. Showers are very nice!! Would definitely come back again.

Great stay. Wonderful property. Would recommend.

We had a great stay at Geoff and Crystal’s cabin, we’ll definitely be back! The property was in great condition and well equipped. Geoff and Crystal were extremely helpful with all of the questions we had, they were great hosts. Thanks!

Awesome clean cabin. No complaints. Can walk to LIONSHEAD. Short drive to Vail. Owners were just fantastic. Book now!

Owners were responsive and wonderful to work with. The log cabin had all of the charm of a historic Colorado Cabin, yet the owners did an amazing job bringing the modern comforts to the interior while not loosing the charm. Well laid out kitchen, wonderful family room with fireplace, four bedrooms with very comfortable beds, and even two of the bathrooms had steam showers. Only suggestion would be to add a microwave to the kitchen. We loved it and would recommend it to others!

I remember seeing the pics of the creek and wondered if it was worth bringing all my fishing gear. I mean... there was something written about fishing iin the description, but it was more like a passing comment. So.... if you’re debating on fishing... do it! The creek is out the front door and there are hundreds of fish writhing a few hundred yards. I fished all three days. (The only thing about this cabin that I didn’t read in any of the reviews that you need to know, is it is right on the highway. There’s nothing the owners can do about that! The cabin was there before the road! You just might wanna know that. ) We had a great time!

We loved our stay at the cabin. It’s the perfect mix of a historic cabin and a completely updated vacation stay. After a long day fishing in the river in the front yard, hiking, or hanging out in the village, the steam showers were a perfect touch. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the marmots. The location can’t be beat, easy access to everything!

Very comfortable family home with responsive, friendly hosts that live right next door. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to a return visit.

So glad we discovered this place Great location on Gore Creek and close to everything else you need in the Vail area. Tasteful upgrades that still give you a rustic cabin feel. The owners and family are great. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back.

We rented the cabin for a guy’s ski trip. The cabin was very comfortable with a great gathering spot to recap the day in the living room with a wood burning fire. If riding the bus to and from the slopes, talk to the locals about the details. The published bus information is not even a 1/4 of the information you need to make your bus trips efficient. The bus stop near the house is less than a 5 minute walk, but it is hard to find. Great cabin....Geoff and Crystal were great hosts.

A clean, private house with a helpful host
