Please note that most bed and breakfasts and cottages book up very early in the year. If you plan to attend the wedding, we strongly recommend booking as soon as possible to ensure you have a nice place to stay.

As there are no major hotels near Barrow Bay, we have done some research into the many cottages, bed and breakfasts, motels, campgrounds and a few hotels in the general vicinity. Most bed and breakfasts and motels range from about $80-150 per night. Most cottages rent by the week, but depending on the number of people staying at the cottage, can actually be more economical than staying in a bed and breakfast, even if you don’t stay the whole week.

* For all accommodations marked with an asterisk *  We have contacted the owners of these cottages bed and breakfasts in advance and blocked off rooms for our guests.  Please tell them that you are booking for our wedding.
