EXPERIENCES:

— Dalton Jones: Private Chef, Cooking Classes, Meal Prep —

Book a tailored culinary experience for individuals and families with Dalty Cooks!

Whether it’s for a special occasion or weekly meal planning, Dalton offers a convenient and personalized solution to those who value gourmet, restaurant-quality meals in the comfort of their own home (or home away from home).

In keeping with the old world theme, have a French meal designed and prepared just for you! Imagine the smell of coq-au-vin or perhaps a boeuf bourguignon filling the air as you lounge around after a day of adventure. Wine and cocktail pairings are available.

Red velvet couches invite you to sit around the wood burning fireplace. An oversized knotted wood dining table pairs well with a cozy seating area. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, coffee, and tea. Microwave, 4 burner gas stove/oven, Keurig coffee maker, electric tea kettle, toaster, pots and pans, cooking utensils and more.

Exposed stone wall in the primary suite will have you feeling like you’ve woken up in a castle on the coast of France. Second bedroom is light and airy with another great view of the lake. Both bedrooms feature Dreamcloud mattresses and down comforters, ensuring you sleep like royalty. (If you like to sleep in total darkness, we recommend brining an eye mask. Our curtains are decorative and not blackout)

Open loft houses three additional single beds. To access, you’ll climb a steep set of stairs. Great for kids but can be a challenge to navigate for people with limited mobility. Just be sure all adventurers use the handrail!

For entertainment, there is TV with cable, streaming, and DVD player in the great room. Additional TVs in loft and both bedrooms. Games and movies are provided for lazy days. Bar with a full fridge gives you a dedicated space to store and prepare your libations.

Patio overlooks the lake with a stunning view of Needle Mountains. Outdoor dining table, propane BBQ, and firepits to enjoy the great outdoors. Gaze at the quivering aspens and their reflection in the water below. The night sky, filled with endless stars, is breathtakingly beautiful.
