Tennessee Pass Cookhouse

A mile-long ski, snowshoe, or hike under the stars leads to a warm yurt and a elegant meal. A multi-course gourmet candlelight dinner with entrees including Colorado rack of lamb, rainbow trout, grilled elk tenderloin, and oven-roasted pheasant stuffed with wild mushroom and apricot is served in winter and summer seasons.

Make reservations for a scrumptious lunch and take a break from the snowy trails. Warm your body and belly at the cookhouse. Lunch is available in winter only. Coming in the summer? Try weekend brunch with incredible views and refreshing summer eats and drinks.

Reservations are required for Cookhouse meals, visit our website to learn more!

Tennessee Pass Sleep Yurts

Our sleep yurts are off-the-hook and off-the-grid! The sleep yurts are surrounded by the pristine San Isabel forest and tucked 1.3 miles into the backcountry. The fun is getting up there. Snowshoe, ski, or hike up a groomed trail, while the staff chauffeurs your luggage to the top. Arrive in a cocoon of warmth, the fire will already be started for you in the soapstone wood stove. Take in views of the highest fourteeners in Colorado from the deck. Curl up under a thick down comforter and watch the stars through the skylight. It’s a romantic getaway, family vacation, or opportunity to reconnect with friends.

Each yurt is equipped with a kitchenette, sink & fresh water, a single burner propane stove, dining table & six chairs, and solar lighting. They are stocked with complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, cider, and have all necessary cookware and dishware necessary for light cooking and serving. Pre-order food and drinks to be delivered up
