We decided to stay here after agreeing to be in a wedding that was taking place at the event center…read morehere. I was shocked that none of the wedding party chose to book lodging here when the wedding was here, because this place was so much nicer than the big hotels down in town. Regardless, we had our pick of the place, and chose the king bed room called Songbird as far from the event center as possible in case the festivities went late and we wanted to crash.
Finding the event center was a disaster. We took a lot longer to get up from Oregon to Manson, and by the time we got up to the lake, it was already dark. Thankfully they had us in contact with them via their text concierge line, and helped us when we got turned around, and we finally arrived. We were greeted warmly by the young lady staffing the center, and she showed us to our room.
Even though it was pitch black outside, we were able to get a general feel for the property, and it was lovely. The room was immaculately designed, had a fresh and newly built smell, and we were super pleased with the quality of the amenities. The bed was super comfy, all the linens and towels were Matouk, which we love, and the space was warm and inviting. It felt like we were staying at a spa, and the only thing missing was an in-room massage.
Despite it being the start of winter, our room was perfectly climate controlled and didn't leave us feeling dried up like some hotels do with in-room ac/heat. The shower was luxurious with really nice in-shower bath products, but I absolutely LOVED their bathrobes, which were ultra-plush lined, super warm, and very cozy. I wanted to take one home with me but I resisted! I did text them after our stay was over because I definitely want to order the towels from our room- they were beyond excellent. What a find.
The next day, when it was fully light outside, we took a little walk around the property, and a drive around the city. It was so nice to be away from all the goings on in town, and felt like a little getaway during our getaway. The wedding was over the weekend, and the staff did an amazing job rolling with quite a mishmash of characters at the wedding during covid. We met the owner Jacqueline and her sweet pups at one point during rehearsal before the wedding, and she was so sweet and genuine, I know why this place is such a gem.
Overall, I was really impressed and delighted with our stay here, and the venue was perfect for the event as well. If I were to be in the area again, even if it wasn't for an event at this location, I would definitely go out of my way to stay at Harmony Meadows again. Delightful experience, and I highly recommend staying here!
