$179 per night  All first floor rooms!  All pet fees waived.

Beautiful, friendly hotel with large walking area out back and many first floor rooms.   Updated 8-20-2020

Many of our hotel partners in New York give us a great room rate, accept multiple greyhounds (sighthounds), and waive all pet fees. You can chose from VRBO rental cabins on Seneca lake, hotel or motel rooms, or various cabin and home rental properties.  Campgrounds are listed at bottom of page.  Our hotels do not change much from year to year unless a new hotel comes online. 

There is some driving involved between your accommodations and the wineries.   People often ask me, "Where can I stay that's close to the wineries."   Unfortunately, hotels are city things and vineyards are country things (farms).  They don't put hotels in vineyards and they don't place vineyards in hotel parking lots.  The closest accommodations to wineries are likely some of the B & B's or cabins listed here or on Vacation Rental by Owner (VRBO).    Because our event takes place at wineries, we include hotels in neighboring towns like Geneva,   Seneca Falls, Ithaca, and the area north of Watkins Glen (closest).   

 Book your room early. You must telephone the desk of these hotels at the number provided below to book your room at these rates with pet fees waived.  If you book through any 800 national website, you don't get these rates, waived pet fees, etc.   We are waiting to hear back from some motels and cottages for their 2021 rates.  Current rates are indicated with each listing.

​

Bring Fido  You may also book a room near our event at BringFido.com.  Be sure to compare their rates with the hotels on this page where we have a discounted room block, good rates and reduced or waived pet fees (where you must call the hotel diretly).    Compare details!

That said, Bring Fido will donate $10 to The Grapehound Wine Tour, Inc. if you book on BringFido.com and use the code Grapehound2021 at checkout.
