CABINS

Cabins are available for only $30/person/night, and sleep 6-10 people. Most beds are bunkbeds, but there are a few full beds available. If you can bring a sleeping bag/bedding, that would be great. But if you can't, let us know in the RSVP form below, and we'll bring some for you. For payment, please bring cash, a check, or make a venmo payment (we will email you a QR code).

If you'd rather sleep in a tent or hammock, you're more than welcome to bring that instead, but it might get a bit chilly at night!

If staying at camp doesn't suit you, you're welcome to choose another place to stay.

No gifts are necessary!

Your presence is the best present! So there is zero pressure to bring a gift. If you would like to contribute to our honeymoon/house fund, you are more than welcome to do so, but seriously no pressure at all.

Travel suggestions

We know travel can get pricy, but we're grateful for your commitment to join us in celebrating our love. Driving offers an adventurous option if road trips are your style, but it can be quite a trek, depending on where you're coming from.

For those considering flying, Glacier Park International Airport (40-minute drive) is an option, but can be pretty pricy. If you're looking for a more affordable choice, flying into Missoula Montana Airport and renting a car is a great alternative (one hour 45-minute drive). It's a bit farther away from camp, but you can save some cash!
