Good to know

Questions couples ask.

Can the bridal party get ready at the house?

Yes. On the wedding day, hair, makeup and your photographer can come in while the bridal party staying at the house gets ready. Bridesmaids who aren't staying over can't come by: the houses are for registered overnight guests only.

Can we have the rehearsal dinner or an after-party at the house?

No. The houses are for staying and getting ready. Every celebration happens at your venue or somewhere else.

Can we book both houses?

Yes. The Overhang in Janesville sleeps 10 and The Ravines in Beloit sleeps 12, so together they sleep 22. Each house books on its own, direct.

Is there a bed for everyone?

Every bedroom has one king bed: four at The Overhang and five at The Ravines, plus a queen sofa bed in each house. With couples and friends sharing beds, each house sleeps its full count. If everyone wants a room of their own, plan on four guests at The Overhang and five at The Ravines.

How far is it from Chicago?

The Overhang is about 2 hours from Chicago, and The Ravines is under 2 hours from Chicago. Both are under 2 hours from O'Hare.
