Rich, have you checked out this link to lodging from the MRC website?

Outside of camping on the venue grounds the closest lodging is at Camp 28 in Rib Lake about 6 miles away, but unfortunately we've got all the rooms booked for this year's shoot. The motels in Medford are approximately 8 miles south of the grounds and the motel in Prentice is about 10 miles to the north. The motels in Abbotsford are about 25 miles to the south. I understand that there are a few lakeside cottages in the area that may be available, too.

PM sent.
