If you're planning to exchange vows during your stay, we'd be honored to host you. Because weddings require additional preparation and use of the property beyond a typical lodging stay, all ceremonies require advance approval and a separate event fee.

Arrival & Departure:

✦ Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Late check-out requests require at least 48 hours' notice and approval.

During Your Stay:

✦ Maximum overnight occupancy is 16 guests, including children over the age of two. Additional overnight guests or daytime visitors require prior approval.

✦ Well-behaved, house-trained pets are welcome with prior approval and an additional fee. Pets are not allowed on furniture and should not be left outdoors unattended or off leash.

✦ There is a Safeway grocery store in Conifer (about 15 minutes away) for groceries. Pine also has a small general store less then 5 minutes with basic essentials.

The Property:

✦ Wildlife is part of everyday life at Meadow Creek. Deer, elk, birds, rabbits, chipmunks, and other native Colorado wildlife are frequently seen on the property. A black bear also lives in the area. Please enjoy wildlife from a respectful distance, never feed animals, and do not leave food, coolers, or trash outside or in your vehicle.

✦ Our property includes stairs, elevated decks, and uneven walking surfaces outdoors. Children should be supervised at all times and guests should use caution throughout the property.

✦ The private hiking trail is about 1.3 miles roundtrip, with roughly 200 feet of elevation gain on the way up. This is a natural, rustic trail. Expect uneven dirt path, rocks, roots, and seasonal obstacles. Closed toe shoes with good traction are recommended. At the top, you'll find a scenic overlook with a panoramic view of the foothills and mountains.

✦ To help protect the property and preserve its historic furnishings, please do not rearrange furniture or move furniture between rooms or between the indoors and outdoors.

Winter Travel:

✦ Meadow Creek is accessible year-round from Highway 285. Winter weather can change quickly so please be prepared for snow and icy conditions between November-May.
