Lodge in Medicine Park- stunning mountain views bordering Ft. Sill. Sleeps 14/16

This tranquil lodge with sprawling grounds is perched on Bear mountain in the Wichitas in the quaint, cobblestone town of Medicine Park. Bordering fort Sill and situated among several lakes (Lawtonka, Ellsworth, Elmer Thomas and Bath to name a few) the property operates primarily on renewable, solar powered energy and is wheelchair accessible. You are likely to see any number of frolicking wildlife, nibbling on the native grasses and flowers around the property. The views of Mount Scott are spectacular at any hour but especially at sunset. Have a refreshing swim, fish or kayak in one of the picturesque, nearby lakes or the trout stocked medicine creek. While attending one of Medicine Park's many year round festivals, you will love perusing the cobblestone shops and taking in the live music, often being played in and around town. Dine at the historic Plantation Inn restaurant, featuring the best steak in the area. Look down upon medicine creek at Riverside Cafe while you feed the fish and turtles or look over the entirety of the town while you treat yourself to authentic mexican food at Tu Familia mexican restaurant up on the hill. It's only a scenic eight or nine mile drive around Lake Lawtonka to the old west town of Meers. As featured on many television programs, the world famous longhorn Meersburger is a delight you shouldn't leave the area without trying. Of course, you could simply stay in and enjoy the solitude of mountain life. Nearby trailheads lead to well maintained trails or you can experience a brief, primitive hike directly behind the lodge which will also lead you to trails. When you make it the short distance to the top of bear mountain, you are rewarded with amazing, 360° mountain and lake views to the horizon. Enjoy shuffleboard, beanbag toss, horseshoes or board games in the bunkhouse/gameroom. The kids will never want to leave it while you and yours relax in the great room by the fire or unwind on the balcony. Both have extraordinary views of the surrounding mountains. Other things to do locally: A few minutes from the Medicine Park Aquarium, Lakes Latonka and Elmer Thomas, Medicine Creek, Bath Lake, Mount Scott, Wichita Mountain Wildlife Preserve and Museum, the Holy City, Parallel Forest and so much more. Medicine Park is at the entrance to the wildlife preserve so you can drive through and see American bison, LongHorn Steer, prairie dogs, birds of every sort and color, cactus, waterfalls and many other Flora and fauna.
