Indian Meadows for Families and Groups

Beautiful Indian Meadows was named by early fur trappers entering the canyon and finding Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute Indians camping, hunting, and fishing together -- peacefully sharing the valleys' abundance of wildlife.

Roosevelt National Forest, 612,000 acre, surrounding the retreat provides exceptional outdoor recreational activities all year round. Plan a relaxing stay with us and enjoy our mountain hospitality.

We are a quiet riverside retreat located on the banks of the majestic Cache La Poudre River, nationally recognized as Wild & Scenic River and easily accessible from Highway 14 that is designated a National Scenic and Historic Byway. Indian Meadows has been a haven for families and friends since 1927.

Indian Meadows has become popular with larger groups. We can accommodate 43 overnight guests in the rooms and larger groups can pitch tents. Day use is limited to 150 guests. There is indoor seating for 50 people and an outdoor stage for larger groups and outdoor events. The facility is non-smoking inside the buildings and no pets are allowed. Most of the rooms have a kitchen but there is also a fully equipped commercial kitchen that can be used for an extra charge. Catering is available.

The outside wedding pavilion is on the river with seating for up to 100 people. The complete wedding package is for 3 days and 2 nights and includes full use of the lodge, commercial kitchen, and beautiful grounds for $4,800.00. Enjoy the outside patio for dancing, bands, or your wedding DJ with seating for up to 50 people. The lodging on-site sleep 38 people. Tent sites are also available with use of the shower house. Catering is available.

Catering is available and pricing is per person. Prices vary from $15.95 - $37.50 depending on the menu. We will cater for up to 120 people on site.

DIRECTIONS: Whether driving north or South along I-25 take Exit 269B that is Highway 14 and/or the Mulberry Street exit into Fort Collins. Head west 4.5 miles to Highway 287 that is also College Avenue. (Sorry: All the streets have at least two names that adds to the confusion.) Turn right (north) and follow Highway 287 as it curves west and then back north for 8.5 miles, turnoff onto Highway 14 West that is also Poudre Canyon Road. There will be a Conoco Gas Station locally known as Ted's Place on the corner. TURN WEST AT TED'S AND HEAD INTO THE MOUNTAINS. Take a look at your odometer and when you have gone 30 miles you will be in front of Indian Meadows.
