The space
PLEASE NOTE: On March 27, 2023, Meadow Lake (aka Lake Nolte) will be lowered for at least 2 years for dam repairs. We already have stairs into the water, so they should extend into what will be our riverbed. If not, we will extend the staircase into the riverbed. Water levels should be high enough to swim, wade, fish, and even kayak if the water doesn't flow too quickly. We'll post update photos of the waterfront in the beginning of April. Keep in mind that our cancellation policy allows for a full refund up to 7 days prior to your arrival, to give you time to determine if it meets your expectations.
