The Meadow Lake Roadhouse is an historic, fully-restored, 1,500 square foot, log roadhouse.
The Roadhouse was originally constructed in the 1860s. It then served as a saloon and stopping point for gold-hunters; later as bunkhouse for cowboys moving herds. Food and drinks were served by the kitchen while simple comforts and respire were offered upstairs in the bedrooms.
In the early 2000s, the house was fully disassembled and rebuilt with the two bottom rounds of logs replaced in the hopes that this historic house will survive another 150 years.
The Roadhouse has a large covered entry porch, with views of the Marble Range. The 860 square foot main floor features a large living room, kitchen and bathroom. In the living room are a wood burning stove, a tv with vhs player and a selection of movies and the house library. The four-piece washroom of the house features a walk-in shower and an old-fashioned claw-foot bathtub.
The Roadhouse kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cookware. It has ample fridge, storage and preparation space. It is equipped with a vintage wood burning stove and oven and a modern range with stove and oven. Off the kitchen is a large deck with a table and chairs for meals outside.
The two bedrooms are located on the second floor. The master bedroom contains a queen-sized bed and is made up with a feather duvet and handmade quilts. In the second bedroom are a double bed and two twin beds also made up with duvets and quilts.
In addition to the wood burning stove, the house is heated by electric radiators.
Wifi is available at the Roadhouse and there is full cell coverage in Meadow Lake Guest Ranch area.
Outside the house is a horse shelter and turn-out. Please call ahead to arrange Bunk and Bale.Peaceful Refuge in an Idyllic Setting!
