The Cabin

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A staple on Snowmass, The Cabin sits at mid-mountain off Velvet Falls, accessible via the Coney Express — ski-in, ski-out, with panoramic Rocky Mountain views at every turn. Transformed for modern comfort while preserving its historic charm, it sets a clear standard for on-mountain hospitality on Aspen Snowmass' largest peak.

Western Meets Old-World on the Mountain

The kitchen describes its approach as "Western meets old-world," and the menu follows through. Refined indoor lunches lean European-inspired: petite veal osso bucco, elk stroganoff, charcuterie, and seasonal fruit cobbler sit alongside fine wines that earned The Cabin a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2022 — a meaningful distinction for a restaurant reached by chairlift. American cuisine here is anything but generic; it draws on regional ingredients and Continental technique in equal measure.

Après, Live Music, and Snowcat Dinners

Come 2:30pm, the newly renovated deck shifts the mood entirely. Tacos, craft beverages, and a state-of-the-art DJ booth make The Cabin the epicenter of on-mountain entertainment at Snowmass — Thursday nights in particular draw high-energy DJ sets. After dark, the experience changes again: snowcat dinners amplify the cabin-in-the-woods setting into something genuinely singular.

Events and Weddings

The outdoor ceremony space accommodates up to 200 guests, while the rustic cabin itself seats up to 60 for receptions. Surrounded by aspen trees and open mountain views, it has built a reputation as one of the most striking backdrops for mountaintop celebrations in the Rockies.
