My husband and I have been visiting the Pine Creek Cookhouse for several years, and we had lunch there a few days ago. Coming down off the Cathedral Lake trail (filthy and sweaty!) and heading over to lunch is phenomenal. Be warned - the kitchen closes at 2:15 pm to prep for dinner, so don't dally on the trail.

I was a bit concerned with splurging for lunch at the Pine Creek Cookhouse after reading the reviews regarding poor service. However, the chef’s creations do warrant the 11 mile scenic trek and above average prices (even for Aspen). The service was indeed below average; I never got the sense from the wait staff that they wanted us there or... more

I've been to the Pine Creek Cookhouse many times and have NEVER been disapppointed. The location is the most beautiful in the Aspen area. The restaurant is located in a valley about 12 miles from Aspen so count on a drive. Be sure to get there before dark so you can admire the fabulous view. The food is excellent and... more

We went to the Pine Creek Cookhouse as a special treat for our family on our trip to Aspen this year, and it was definitely worth the expense! It is an experience we will remember forever.

We had been recommended the Pine Creek by the Agent with who we book our holiday to Aspen and made a request for a reservation via their web site 6 weeks before we were due to travel, but never had a confirmation of the booking. When we arrived in Aspen we asked our Hotel for a number so we could... more

It was a fantastic dinner experience and the food was very impressive (between our group we had the elk loin, the buffalo tenderloin and the game mixed grill). However.. we were shocked when the bill came. We were 8 people and besides the set menu (which includes three courses), we bought two bottles of wine ($50 each, one of their... more

Treat yourself to a wonderful old-fashioned horse drawn sleigh ride in beautiful country and a charming lodge for dinner. The food is good, not great, but the ambiance and the experience make up for everything. Very professionally organized and run. more
