Resort Booking Logistics

In order to lock in your reservation, contact Nancy as soon as possible. While a $400 deposit PER ROOM ($200/pp) is required at booking, your balance will not be due until 60 days before your departure date. All rooms are based on double occupancy. (Planning on coming solo? Let Lilly know and she will try to find you a roommate if you would prefer!).

This resort is extremely limited and sells out quickly, so please dont wait! Secure now, confirm later. If you need to cancel, you may do so 46 days before departure and receive your deposit back of $400.

Nancy has quotes ready for as little as 3 nights, but feel free to stay as long as youd like, this is your vacation too! The schedule below is our itinerary and we would love to celebrate with you all week if youd like to join in!

Airfare Booking Information

Nancy is also able to book your flight, but you are free to book on your own as well.

Airfare Logistics

Flights usually come out 8-9 months before departure. United Airlines features non-stop flights Saturdays and Sundays out of Ohare. Southwest offers 1 stop options from MKE on Saturdays. We recommend you set flight alerts for your desired airport on Hopper, Kayak, Expedia, EscapeFlights, etc.
