BEANO’S CABIN | BEAVER CREEK
It’s been nearly a century since Polish immigrant Frank Bienkowski left city life behind in Chicago to stake out a homestead in the mountains of Colorado. Likely drawn to the same starry nights and “see-forever” days that still bring many here, Bienkowski settled into this very meadow—in the shadow of Grouse Mountain—and came to be known simply as “Beano.”
A crown jewel tucked into an on-mountain meadow at the base of Larkspur Bowl, Beano’s Cabin continues its tradition of culinary excellence. Inspired by Bienkowski, Executive Chef Mackenzie Nicholson cultivates a summer garden next to the replica of Bienkowski’s original cabin to provide the freshest ingredients nature has to offer.
Beano’s Cabin is consistently recognized by the Distinguished Restaurants of North America and Wine Spectator “Best of” awards, maintaining a passionate commitment to supporting local and organic producers of Colorado meat, fish, produce and cheese.
