Where oh where to stay during the reception weekend? Well, Mary Jo's parents live in Watkins and have a yard. In this yard tents may be erected for shelter. In other words, if you want to bring a tent and camp in Watkins, that's an option! Mary Jo's parents would be happy to accommodate you. We might even be able to provide a tent. Contact us to see if we have one available for you.

There will also be space for campers, so if you have a pop-up bring it down and camp the weekend away!

For the less adventurous, there are several hotels in the area. Watkins doesn't have a hotel, but both Cold Spring (15 min drive time) and St. Cloud (30 min drive time) have several options:

• Riverside Inn (Cold Spring)
• AmericInn (St. Cloud)
• Holiday Inn (St. Cloud)
• Best Western (St. Cloud)
• Several Other Options - take your pick!

We have rooms blocked off at both the Riverside Inn in Cold Spring and the AmericInn in St. Cloud. Ask for the Loch/Voorhees wedding. Rooms will be released 1 month before the reception, so make sure to get your reservations done early!

Rates currently start at about $75 per night and go to about $110 per night. The blocked rooms are all at around $90/night.
