As guests will be traveling from all over the country, we anticipate there will be staggered arrivals throughout the day and into Thursday (by 10 am). If you are arriving on 9/3/2025, you should plan to get a hotel room at the Defiance House Lodge for the night. See Travel tab for more info! FYI - The cell service at Lake Powell is almost non-existent. Please ensure you are mapping your destination before you get too close. Once you arrive, you can connect to the hotel WIFI or our Starlink. See FAQ page for additional information about internet!

Lake and Boating Attire
We will be boating to our campsite and wedding venue for the weekend celebrations! When we arrive at the camp site, we will need some help to dock the boats. Per lake rules, we are only able to move 24 people (12 on the houseboat and 12 on the pontoon) at one time. We will be shuttling guests on our pontoon boat, as needed. If for some reason your inbound travels do not allow you to make it to the marina by 10:00 AM on 9/4, please let Caroline know ASAP. We can be sure to come back and pick up stragglers as they arrive. The rest of the afternoon and evening is for hanging out and enjoying Lake Powell!

Lake and Boating Attire
We will be taking the morning to clean-up and get back to the dock for departures. There is not too much clean-up (sweeping out boat, stripping beds, etc.) but we may ask our guests to help with some tasks. If you have not already, please let Caroline know when and where your departure flights are from. We will ensure we get you back to the docs in time to make all required transportation. If you are flying out from Grand Junction - I recommend booking a flight that leaves after 3 PM. That way, we can try and get you to shore by 10 am, which will give you time to drop off your rental and make your flight.
