The dock sits at the bottom of the lawn, and the porch sits up in the trees. In between, a pool, a sandy beach, and a lake wide enough that the far shore goes soft by evening. This is WedStay's first Minnesota estate, an hour from Fargo. Then four villas on the Costa Rican Pacific, at Playa Hermosa and Jacó, for couples who want the water warmer. Private pools, rooftop decks, and enough bedrooms to keep the whole party on site. From $7,900+ for the weekend. | | Featured Estate |  | Vergas, Minnesota | Guests 75 • Sleeps 16 • From $12,000+ |
Completed in 2024 on a quiet lake an hour from Fargo, with a private sandy beach, a dock, and a three season porch up in the treetops. A seasonal pool and a year round hot tub look out over the water, and the sauna makes a winter date an easy yes. Five bedrooms for the wedding party, ceremony space for 75 on the lawn, and the whole lake as the backdrop. WedStay's first Minnesota estate. |
| Also On The Water | Four Costa Rican villas on the Pacific, from Playa Hermosa down to Jacó |  | Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica Event Guests 100 | Sleeps 32 | From $13,000+ |
Two matching villas share one beachfront lawn, so both families get their own front door and still meet for breakfast. Eleven bedrooms across the pair, a pool cut into the deck facing the water, and a game room for the night before. Ceremony space for 100 on the grass, close enough that every row hears the surf. |
 | Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica Event Guests 100 | Sleeps 12 | From $7,900+ |
The whole back of the house opens to the pool, and the pool opens to the palms and the sand. Five bedrooms, terraces on both floors, and room on the lawn for 100 guests. One of the lowest entry prices on the coast for a beachfront weekend. |
 | Jacó, Costa Rica Event Guests 50 | Sleeps 28 | From $8,300+ |
Two villas face each other across a private lane that runs down to the water. Ten bedrooms between them, a plunge pool and covered deck at each door, and 28 beds for the wedding party. Book one side for the couple and one for the guests. |
 | Jacó, Costa Rica Event Guests 50 | Sleeps 16 | From $14,700+ |
Three floors of balconies stack around a tiled pool, so the toast carries from the deck to the top rail. Twelve bedrooms, an outdoor kitchen off the water, and the beach a short walk past the palms. Built for a party that spreads out and still stays together. |
