Accommodations

On-Site Lodging

Semi-rustic cabin lodging will be available for those who wish to stay with us on-site.

This includes a mix of small 4-5 person cabins and larger group bunkhouses (more details below). Cabins and group bunkhouses are comfortable but semi-rustic, with electricity, screened windows, and twin XL bunkbeds and mattresses in each cabin.

The nearby bathhouse offers modern showers, toilets, and hot water - picture your gym locker room showers.

There is a full commercial kitchen and refrigerators available in the main lodge.

Our camp reservation includes full access to the entire property. While limited in capacity, we expect that there will be enough space for most guests who wish to stay on-site, without having to ask anyone to room with strangers (we would not do that to you!).

Cost: Since we have already reserved the entire camp, there will be no per-night booking arrangement. Instead, we will request a flat rate Linens & Lodging contribution of $60 per person staying overnight at camp to cover some basic necessities that will make your stay easy and comfortable.

What’s included:

  • Bedding: One pillow, pillowcase, XL fitted twin sheet, flat sheet, cotton blanket. (Pillows and sheets will be donated to The Bridge of Arbor Circle, a West Michigan queer-affirming shelter offering temporary stays for at-risk youth.)

  • One towel

  • Additional camp meals: breakfast and lunch on Saturday 8/23 (Please note that all wedding guests are invited to the Welcome Dinner on Friday 8/22 and Morning After Breakfast on Sunday 8/24)

  • Lodging for up to 3 nights: Friday 8/22, Saturday 8/23, Sunday 8/24. (Check out by Monday 8/25, 10:00 at the latest)
