Flight

Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) airport

MSP is about 2 hours South of Bay Lake. It's a major airport with lots of rental car options.

Flight

Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport (BRD)

BRD is about 30 minutes from Bay Lake. It's a tiny airport, but we've flown out of it before. There are a few rental car options and limited taxi options. Taxis will most likely not be available post-reception, so please take that into consideration if you're not staying on the island overnight.

Hotel

Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge

25039 Tame Fish Lake Road
Deerwood, MN 56444
 (218) 678-2885

Ruttger's is a wonderful resort with hotel-style rooms, cabins, and some condos/townhouses. There is typically a 2-night minimum stay. Unfortunately they would not allow us to block off any rooms. It is a popular resort so please book early if you're planning on staying there! *Update as of 7/17/2018: There is a different wedding scheduled at Ruttger's Resort and apparently also a convention that weekend, so lodging options are booking up quickly. We have heard that there are more options available if you call than appear online.

Hotel

Bay Lake Camp

16257 Brighton Point Road
Deerwood, MN 56444
 (218) 678-2271

It's summer camp, so you will have shared bathrooms and will probably be sleeping in a bunk bed. But it's a beautiful camp, and it's where all the events are so you won't have to worry about a thing once you're here! If you'd like to stay on the island, we will assign you a space (sorry, lodging limitations make requests difficult). While you won't have much privacy, we will group you with people you know. If you're looking for a specific lodging experience, this may not be the best option. But if you're ok with not knowing exactly what you're going to get, but a promise from us that it will be awesome, please join us on the island! Camping is also an option. The lodge is reserved for the wedding party and a few family members. The cost will be $20/person/night and it includes Saturday brunch and snacks. If you'd like to stay on the island on Thursday night as well, let us know. You can reserve a spot on the island via the RSVP form. Hit us up with any questions!

Cabin Rental

There are a few cabins and townhouses for rent on Bay Lake. They most likely have a minimum night stay of more than 1 night but could be a good option for a larger group or family, or if you'd like to stay for longer to enjoy beautiful Bay Lake. Check out vrbo.com and search for Bay Lake, MN.

House Or Rental

Woodland Beach Resort

15596 Woodland Beach Lane
Deerwood, MN 56444
 (218) 866-0711

This is another resort on Bay Lake. These are cabin style rentals with at least 2 bedrooms, so great for a group! It's just a 5-minute drive from the resort to the island parking lot.
