Inspiring Spaces & Gracious Hospitality

Programming and event spaces to support, equip, and celebrate those serving in the community

Serving those who serve

We offer educational programs and host non-profits for private events, at minimal cost for attendees and organizations. Conveniently located at the edge of the west metro, our lakeshore, meadow, and forest are waiting for you.

Charlson Meadows allowed our group to relax together in a beautiful space. This contributed to a great deal of quality work. Actually, we achieved more than I had planned and moved our future plans forward in a deeper way."

About Charlson Meadows

Our gathering spaces, both indoors and outdoors, are designed to be inspiring and beautiful.

The Nancy Nelson Lake House will feel like home, yet serve your needs for a lecture style or collaborative meeting in our Gathering Room. Meet by the fireplace in the living room or enjoy the view of Lake Zumbra from the sunroom.

At Charlson Meadows we encourage all of our guests to plan to spend time in nature to enjoy the benefits of restoration and renewal. As a group you can gather at our outdoors spaces or simply enjoy a community walk together on the trail.
