PONCA STATE PARK

How to get to the middle of nowhere

Okay, okay. We picked this spot because it’s meaningful to us—not because it’s the most convenient.

Thank you for making the trek to Nebraska—we know getting here can take some effort (planes, roadtrips, and maybe a little patience).

Once you arrive, we promise it’ll be worth it. Think Midwest hospitality, a cozy bedroom in a 4-bedroom cabin at Ponca State Park, plenty of food, and good vibes.

Once you arrive, you’ll have a bedroom waiting for you in a four-bedroom / two-bathroom cabin at Ponca State Park.

Roommates? Heck yeah! We’ll assign them based on people you know… or your future bffs that you’ll get to know.
