Hotel

Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn

We have a hotel block for Friday and Saturday nights at this hotel which is 20 minutes from the farm. There is a pool and hot tub and it's about halfway between Minneapolis and Marine on St. Croix. Each guest (and their family) can make their own reservations by heading to the included link or calling the number above. A few important notes before booking: -The online link will automatically default to two nights. If you only plan to stay one night, you will need to make that adjustment. -If you call, identify yourself as a member of the "Hietpas/Payer Wedding." -By booking through this, you will get the blocked rate and put your own card on file for the room(s) you book. -To book on our hotel block, you must reserve no later than Tuesday July 28, 2026 at 9:00am. -You may cancel your reservation for no charge before 04:00 PM local hotel time on Wednesday July 29, 2026. Finally, depending on the number of people we have staying here, we may hire a shuttle service between here and the venue. Please let us know if you reserve.

William O'Brien State Park

Many of our friends are planning to group camp with us the night of the reception at William O'Brien State Park. We will have a large group campsite booked for Friday and Saturday night, but the couple will just be staying there Saturday night. This campsite is only a 9 minute drive from the farm and we will get someone to shuttle us. Please let us know if you plan to camp with us. **Must use your own or borrowed camping gear. If you'd like to stay at the campsite but you are not as interested in brining a tent, you can also book a camper through Outdoorsy.com We will have a campfire brunch Sunday morning with those who stay here or would like to come.
