Obviously you can stay whereever you want, but here are
some options we’ve researched, 3 of them we have actually held for our guests
in advance to book. We’ve organized this list by accommodation type(hotels
chains and Inns) and have noted the distance from the wedding venue(Camp
Tannadoonah) and the Southbend Intl. Airport, there is an option to stay at
the camp as well. Please note that the wedding is taking place three
hours west of where Maya grew up thus we can’t personally vouch for these
places(other than the camp option) and have chosen them based on online
reviews. Most of the options are in South Bend, Indiana due to the fact that
the wedding venue is near the border of Michigan(where the wedding is) and
Indiana, but though the wedding venue is just 40 minutes outside of South Bend
and the South Bend airport, it is very rural so there aren’t many options super close to the wedding venue other than a Super 8(which we reserved a block of rooms at) with surprisingly good reviews and some Airb&b’s but we do have
accommodations on-site at the wedding venue itself for only $15 a night, read
the special details below. Staying in South Bend can be a good option for folks
who want to be close to the airport and also for folks who want to be a bit
more where the “action” is since its a bigger city and a college town, the
South Bend Hotel options are near Notre Dame University.
Our on-site accommodation option:
Since the wedding is at a summer camp - we are happy to
offer a delightful and unique accommodation option for our guests!
For only $15 a night, you can stay on-site in cabins at the
camp! There is a
shared bathroom in each cabin, and showers in a centralized bathhouse on
the grounds. All beds are single beds, some bunks, some stand alone(and thus
you can push them together). There is a “kids and families” group cabin and an
“adults only” group cabin. Our cabin rules are this: Cabins are “quiet time
places” for sleeping and getting dressed etc., not for socializing so that
folks can have a good night’s sleep. Socializing will be in the common areas of
the camp(dining hall, the lodge, fire pit circle and ample grounds).
The cabins are clean, dry, cozy, have electricity and are
relatively new in construction though rustic but please note that they are not
heated - though you will be provided with a blanket, we recommend packing
sleeping layers and traveling with a sleeping bag if you can. This is a good
overnight option for our friends who are into camping as this will be several
steps up from using a tent and a great way to have a relaxed woodsy retreat for
the whole weekend. For an additional $15 flat rate you can also get sheets, a pillow and a blanket - though you can bring your own. To reserve a bunk, please email us to let us know that you would like a bunk, and we'll send you information for how to pay the camp/book your bunk, the deadline for
reserving a bunk is October 15th and the bunk reservations are first come,
first serve.

Super 8 by Wyndham Three Rivers - 19 minutes from the
wedding, 52 minutes from the South Bend Intl. airport. 689 Super 8 Way, Three
Rivers, MI, 49093 - This place is in Three Rivers, which is a tiny town to be honest, BUT we chose it due to the fact that it is
only 19 minutes from the wedding venue and had surprisingly decent reviews, it
is also near basic amenities like chain eateries and a Meijer(Michigan’s
version of Kmart/Walmart).

If you're looking to do something unique and lovely, this old farmhouse sleeps 16+ people, and you can rent it cheaply for an entire weekend! It is being temporarily held for our wedding guests. Please note that Airb&b doesn't allow multiple payments, so you'll have to coordinate with whoever you decide to book this house with in terms of making sure that you are properly sent money from everyone chipping in and sharing this house with you. Reach out to friends(on FB when we announced the "We're getting Married/Save the Date" it is only visible to folks who are invited, you can use that thread to find a large group to split this house with) and we also suggest using the room-share link below, though the FB thread may be quicker in terms of wrangling folks.
While we assume that most folks who are coming know enough people to suss out hotel/inn room sharing on your own, here is a form for folks to post interest in doing so if you need it - Roomshare
