Accomodations Options

St. Joseph, MI is known for its beautiful beaches and summer getaways with many hotel and rental options. We have set up room blocks at four hotel options (details below), but if you'd like to stay at a different hotel or book a rental house we will not be offended! Please stay wherever you will be most comfortable. Shuttle service will run to and from the venue for the Hilton, Marriott and Best Western hotel blocks. The Boulevard Inn block is walking distance to the venue. We have listed hotel options outside of our room blocks that are near the venue and near the shuttle pick up and drop off below as well.

Travel Note

Planes, Trains, Automobiles

For those traveling outside of the Chicagoland area/Midwest, we recommend flying into Chicago and renting a car for the 2 hour drive to St. Joseph or taking the train. For those traveling from Chicago without a car, you can take the Pere Marquette Amtrak line from Union Station in Chicago to St. Joseph directly. Given all the area has to offer and limited ride share availability we recommend renting a car so you have more freedom to explore!

Travel Note

Ride Share Options

Please note, if you stay at a rental house you will have to find your own transportation to and from the venue. Uber and Lyft have limited availability in the area and coverage might not be as readily available compared to big cities.

House Rental Options

If you would like to book a rental house we highly recommend checking out Air B & B or VRBO. We recommend looking for properties between the New Buffalo and St. Joseph areas along Lake Michigan. Please be aware that during the busy summer months some rentals might require a weekly stay. https://www.airbnb.com/ https://www.vrbo.com
