Where to Stay
Cottages
Members of the Pointe aux Barques community have generously offered their homes for guests to stay in from Friday, September 18 to Sunday, September 20.
We’ll do our best to group family and friends together in the cottages, but please keep in mind that the cottages are a shared living situation. Everyone who indicated on their RSVP that they’d like to stay in a cottage will have a place to stay. We’ll send out more details a couple of weeks before the wedding, including your cottage assignment and access information.
There is no cost to you—we’ll cover any rental fees associated with cottage stays.
Hotels
If you’d prefer to stay in a hotel, we have a recommend the Port Austin Bed & Breakfast in downtown Port Austin. There are limited hotel options so we would recommend booking early.
Please note: transportation will not be provided for guests staying outside of Pointe aux Barques. Additionally, there are no rideshare services (like Uber or Lyft) in the area, so you’ll need to plan for your own transportation to and from the venue.
If you have questions or would like help coordinating hotel plans, feel free to reach out to Drew or Alexis for guidance.
