Glen Ellen Lodge, Mountain hut in Fayston, US.
Glen Ellen Lodge features a stacked log base structure with vertical logs forming the upper walls, situated between Mount Ellen and Stark Mountain.
The Green Mountain Club established Glen Ellen Lodge in 1933 as one of the overnight shelters along Vermont's Long Trail system.
The lodge brings together hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who share experiences and resources while exploring the Vermont mountain trails.
The facility accommodates eight people on multi-level bunks, requires visitors to bring sleeping gear, and obtain water from a nearby stream.
Natural light filters through the gaps between the logs of the walls, creating an ever-changing pattern throughout the day.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
