Sorry! All the cabins at Ohana have been reserved. A few of the platform tents at the camp are still available, however, or see here for other lodging options.

There are 18 cabins at the camp where all the wedding events will be held. Each cabin has from one to four bedrooms and sleeps from 2 to 10 people in bunk and/or twin beds. The cabins are equipped with a kitchen (including basic pots and dishes); a living room with stone fireplace (firewood is supplied); a bathroom (with shower); and a porch from which to enjoy the sylvan setting. Here are some photos of the camp, including the inside and outside of a few cabins so you can see what they're like.

The cabins are rustic but very attractive—decorated with patchwork quilts, twig and wicker furniture, and antique botanical prints. Sheets, blankets, and towels are supplied, though you'll have to make your own bed. A few other notes, in the interest of full disclosure: The cabins are uninsulated and unheated (except for the fireplace). There are no phones or TVs, and there is no cellular service in the vicinity of the camp (just to prove you're really in rural Vermont!). There is also no food service there; you'll need to either use your cabin's kitchen or drive to a restaurant. (In case you go to the Ohana website and notice the mention that guests who stay in the cabins are required to take their meals in the Ohana dining hall -- this does not pertain to our weekend but only to events in future years. For events that were booked for this year, they planned not to have the kitchen running after the camp season ends.)

But you won't need to drive to the wedding events, and abundant outdoor activities are right at hand—a waterfront for swimming and boating (including use of the camp's sailboats, rowboats, canoes, and kayaks), tennis courts (bring your own rackets), basketball and volleyball courts, and a horseshoe pitch. Back roads for walking or biking and trails for hiking abound around the camp's 100 rural acres. As an added bonus, Nate and Jo have agreed to lead nightly sing-alongs around the campfire! A cabin site map is below, or you can open a printable PDF (the PDF is probably easier to read, but you can get a general idea of the layout from the map below).

The rate is $45 per person a night (with no charge for children under 3). Pets are not allowed. To reserve a cabin call the number above; the phone will be answered "Hulbert Outdoor Center," just in case you wonder if you've reached the right place. There is no cut-off date for this option—we have the exclusive use of the site for the wedding period—but we expect the cabins to be reserved quickly.

And for the really hardy, there are also 6 platform tents at the camp (their location is noted on the site map), with 4 twin beds in each tent. The tents are equipped with screening, electricity, open shelving, and a small covered porch. They are clustered near a central bathhouse and a common room with a fieldstone fireplace. The rate for the tents is $15 per person a night.

The other lodging option is reserving a room at a local hotel, but that option does not include complimentary marshmallows for roasting.
