Special Notice Regarding On-site Filming | July 6th-8th

To Our Valued Guests,

 

We are delighted to share that Nita Lake Lodge Resort & Spa has been selected as a filming location for the upcoming pilot production, Durango, taking place from July 6–8.

 

During this time, you may notice some additional activity around the Lodge, including temporary set installations, production crew members, and designated filming areas. We are working closely with the production team to ensure any impact on the guest experience is kept to a minimum. Most importantly, our commitment to your comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment remains unchanged.

 

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you for a memorable stay. Should your travel plans be affected by this information, we will be pleased to honor any rescheduling or cancellation requests in accordance with our standard cancellation policy.

 

Should you have any additional questions, you are welcome to email our team at info@nitalakelodge.com and we will be pleased to assist.

 

Warmly,

 

The Nita Lake Lodge Resort & Spa Team

All activities will operate within local filming guidelines and municipal requirements.

To safely accommodate production, the following specific resort spaces have been allocated exclusively to the production team during the times listed above and will experience temporary closures or restricted access:

We want to reassure you that your favorite resort experiences will remain accessible:

Hallway Access: While moving through the resort, guests may experience occasional, minor holds or brief disruptions in the hallways during active filming periods, but access will be maintained.

 

Parking Note: Our underground parkade will remain fully open for guest parking throughout the entire filming period.

During filming, guests may notice:

 

• Film crew members and production vehicles on property.

• Temporary changes to furniture layouts, décor, and restricted access in the designated zones.

• Equipment, lighting, and set dressing in select indoor and outdoor areas.

• Increased activity around filming locations.

• Temporary wayfinding adjustments or alternate access routes.

 

The production currently involves transforming portions of the property to represent a winter mountain lodge setting. Guests may notice seasonal set dressing and artificial snow effects in select outdoor areas.

Our team is working closely with the production company to maintain normal resort operations wherever possible.

 

Because the Lakeside Lounge & Patio and Fix Café Patio are explicitly reserved for production use, our primary dining spaces will shift.

 

Dining Update: Though the Lakeside Lounge will be closed July 6 – 8th, The Den and The Den Patio will remain fully open and available to serve you for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.  Note that though reservations are not required, they are recommended. Fix Café will also remain open during regular business hours.

 

Any significant changes impacting guest services will be communicated directly to affected guests.
