Glen Ellen Lodge, Mountain hut in Fayston, US.
Glen Ellen Lodge is a mountain hut built with stacked and vertical logs, positioned between Mount Ellen and Stark Mountain. It sleeps eight people on multi-level bunks and relies on a nearby stream for water.
The Green Mountain Club built Glen Ellen Lodge in 1933 as one of several overnight shelters along Vermont's Long Trail. It became part of a network of mountain huts developed to support hikers exploring the ridge system.
The lodge brings together hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who share experiences and resources while exploring the Vermont mountain trails.
Bring your own sleeping gear and bedding, as the shelter provides only the bunk structure. Plan for a basic mountain experience with no amenities beyond water from the stream and cooking facilities.
Sunlight filters through gaps in the stacked log walls, creating shifting patterns that change throughout the day. This natural effect transforms the interior into an ever-changing display of light and shadow.

Vermont hides historic places away from main roads, often forgotten by hurried travelers. Here you find granite quarries still working or long abandoned, small rural schools from the 1800s where children learned together, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through thick forests.
