Flight
For our out-of-town guests, the easiest way to join us is by flying into Denver International Airport (DEN). From there, you’ll enjoy a beautiful drive into the mountains to Buena Vista—think wide open skies, winding rivers, and stunning Colorado views along the way. Whether you choose to rent a car or coordinate a ride with friends, the journey is part of the experience—just wait until you see the iconic Sawatch Range mountains. We can’t wait to welcome you once you arrive!
Rental Car
For guests flying into Denver International Airport, renting a car is the easiest and most flexible way to reach Buena Vista. The airport offers 10+ major rental car companies, all accessible via a quick shuttle from the terminal, making pickup simple upon arrival. From there, plan for a scenic drive of about 3 hours into the mountains. The route is absolutely beautiful—winding through mountain passes and classic Colorado landscapes—so we recommend giving yourself a little extra time to enjoy the journey (and maybe snap a few photos along the way!).
Hotel
We’ve reserved a room block for our guests at the Surf Chateau—a separate, more intimate property from the main Surf Hotel. Our ceremony will take place here, and it would mean the world to us to be surrounded by our loved ones throughout the weekend; so we kindly encourage the Chateau to be your first choice when booking. Encircling a peaceful river rock courtyard, the Chateau offers 20 guest rooms, including beachy ground-floor Cottage rooms and European-inspired Chateau rooms and suites with private balconies. To book, please reference our group code “SHAWNANDLAURA”—and we recommend reserving early, as rooms are limited!

Hotel
If the Surf Chateau is fully booked, there are additional beautiful options from the Surf Hotel & Chateau. The Surf Hotel offers stylish, modern rooms right along the river and just steps from all of the weekend’s festivities. For a more spacious, home-style stay, guests can also explore the South Main Residences—ideal for groups looking for extra room and a bit more privacy, all within easy walking distance of the venue and downtown Buena Vista.
House Or Rental
There are also many great home rental options available in Buena Vista through platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and other vacation rental sites. You’ll find everything from cozy cabins and modern mountain homes to downtown lofts and riverside retreats, many within walking distance of Main Street or a short drive to the venue. With hundreds of options in the area, rentals often include full kitchens, outdoor spaces, and amenities like hot tubs or mountain views—perfect for making a weekend out of your stay.
