Dubois,
WY – November 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Newsday recently recognized
historical luxury Wyoming guest ranch Brooks
Lake Lodge & Spa as one of five
family travel destinations in the U.S. to “feed your cabin fever,”
and the timing could not be better as families begin to make their holiday
plans. The cozy cabin vibe can provide the perfect Christmas and New Year’s
destination, with the exclusive, all-inclusive Rocky Mountain resort opening
December 23, 2018, for its winter season.
As
familytravel.com
originally put it, Brooks Lake Lodge “may feel just a little like paradise,”
which is one of the many reasons why this elegantly rustic resort is an
ideal winter destination. With its setting in the wilds of Wyoming—tucked
away in the Shoshone National Forest but within easy driving distance to
Jackson Hole, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park—Brooks
Lake Lodge is perfect for snow enthusiasts looking for the rare combination
of nature-rich outdoor amenities and cozy accommodations.
Not
surprisingly, the Christmas season brings out Brooks Lake Lodge’s festive
best. From the twinkly lighted pines outside to the fully decorated Christmas
tree by a crackling fire inside the lodge’s beautiful and aptly named Grand
Entrance, to the innovative and creative comfort foods that comprise the
Christmas menu created by longtime Chef Whitney Hall—not to mention the
pampering-level 2:1 staff-to-guest ratio—this year promises to be the best
yet.

Chef
Whitney Hall has prepared an excellent Christmas dinner menu featuring
Braised Oxtail, served in a port and wild mushroom jus with Yorkshire pudding;
Roasted Garlicky Lemon Linguini with cherrystone clams, blue mussels and
deep-fried sea scallops; and Pumpkin and Asiago Enchiladas with a pepita
pesto and a browned butter drizzle. Sides include sautéed spinach
with roasted heirloom carrots and herb-whipped sweet potatoes. For dessert
guests can enjoy a Molasses Semifreddo in a gingersnap cup. And the chef,
whose gourmet offerings have been praised by media including the Los Angeles
Times and Food & Beverage magazine, has dreamed up a different but
equally tasty special menu for New Year’s Eve dinner.
The
opportunities for appealing
snow adventures for the Brooks Lake Lodge winter season, which runs
through mid-March, are unparalleled. Most popular: Snowmobiling
on the more than 2 million acres of powder-covered backcountry terrain,
with panoramic views of the magnificent Pinnacle Buttes, Brooks Mountain
and Richard’s Peak (additional fee applies). However, in addition to snowmobiling,
the remote and expansive property offers cross-country skiing on groomed
trails and in the nearby backcountry, along with snowshoeing, sledding,
expert-guided wildlife excursions to see the migratory animals wintering
near the lodge, and ice fishing on Brooks Lake.
At
the end of a fun-filled (and snow-packed) day, guests can relax in the
aforementioned cozy cabins, built in 1922, which are heated and sport wood-burning
stoves and inviting sitting and dining areas, some with fireplaces and
whirlpool or clawfoot tubs. Meanwhile, the captivating and comfortable
lodge rooms have been individually decorated with handcrafted furnishings
of lodgepole pine topped with goose-down comforters and including terrycloth
spa robes for lounging. For an even more restful stay, the inviting and
relaxing full-service
spa provides complimentary use of the tranquility room, dry sauna,
fitness room, and an 11-by-17-foot hot tub overlooking Brooks Lake and
the Pinnacle Buttes. Spa services are available for booking at an additional
price.
In
addition, all guest meals are included and fit in well with a winter getaway:
Chef Whitney creates hearty Western breakfasts each morning, filling lunches
at noon, a Governor’s Tea with hors d’oeuvres for an afternoon pick-me-up
and gourmet dinners every night. To keep things lively, the Cowboy Bar
within the lodge serves up fun and casual nighttime entertainment, along
with an extensive selection of spirits.
Christmas
rates at Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa start at $465 per person per night
and include all meals and activities (excluding some snowmobile fees),
taxes and service charge.
