IF YOU AND YOUR GUESTS are looking for ways to combine adventure with a unique dining experience, look no further than the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse.

The Cookhouse is located at the Tennessee Pass Nordic Center, which is about a 25-minute drive from the Wolf Den.

Hike, cross-country ski, snowshoe or hop on a snowmobile for a 1-mile trek to the Cookhouse’s secluded yurt dining room. Once there, be prepared to enjoy delicious “backcountry fine dining” and live music.

The yurt operates entirely off the grid, which means candlelight and propane lights flicker and the wood-burning stove keeps guests toasty warm. It’s romantic and cozy, no matter the season. But don’t let the rustic setting fool you. Four delicious courses constructed of local and seasonal ingredients will please even the most discerning diners.

During our family’s most recent Cookhouse outing in December, we cross-country skied to the Cookhouse yurt in a heavy snowfall. Our headlamps illuminated lovely, wet snowflakes.

Drying off by the warmth of the fire, we toasted excellent red wine, dined on delicious elk, pheasant and salmon. Our son danced along with the live music, too. The dinner experience was hands down one of our family’s best memories of the year.

Costing $125 per guest (not including beverages) means the meal might be pricier than you may typically spend on dinner out — particularly for a child. (However, after a day spent skiing, our little guy ate all four courses!) That said, you won’t regret it.
