Meadowlark Ski Lodge

ow Lark Lodge was. This venue single-handedly turned what should have been a joyful, once-in-a-lifetime event into a stressful, frustrating ordeal. Unprofessional & Rude from Start to Finish From the moment we arrived, the owner’s attitude was appalling. Eye rolls, huffing and puffing, and body language that screamed “you’re in my way” were present at every interaction. At one point, hands were literally clapped at us to “hurry up” while we were setting up for the reception. I have never in my life seen a hospitality business treat paying guests with such blatant disrespect. Horrible Communication & Zero Organization Nothing was explained properly before or during the event. We repeatedly had to chase down answers to basic questions. There was no clear plan, no guidance, and no willingness to help. Instead, we got short, snippy responses and visible annoyance anytime we asked for assistance. False Advertising & Misrepresentation We paid for a “ceremony location” only to later find out it was open to the public and, in fact, not even their property. This was not disclosed beforehand and was a huge breach of trust. Absolutely unacceptable for a venue charging wedding rates. Accommodations Were a Joke The rooms were subpar at best — outdated, uncomfortable, and lacking basic necessities. There was no trash service for high-paying guests, and when we asked for more toilet paper, we were literally handed a roll with an eye roll. No bridal suite. No groom suite. No space to get ready. Food Issues – Cold, Small Portions, and Greedy Policies We paid a premium for catering, only to be served cold food in tiny portions. To make matters worse, when we tried to take the leftovers that we paid for, we were told we couldn’t because they were “their property.” The lack of generosity and hospitality was staggering. Basic Needs Ignored There was no water station for guests staying the cabins or camping — This, combined with the already cold and unfriendly atmosphere, made everyone uncomfortable. Overall Attitude – Disgusting The owner acted as though running a wedding venue was a burden and that we were an inconvenience from start to finish. Her behavior made it abundantly clear she is motivated by greed, not service or care for her clients. Final Verdict: Avoid at All Costs I would not spend another dollar at Meadow Lark Lodge if I were dying of thirst on their doorstep. The lack of professionalism, basic hospitality, and respect for paying clients is appalling. Weddings are supposed to be joyful occasions — here, you’ll find only stress, rudeness, and regret. HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!
