As mentioned above, one option for lodging in the area is to rent a house. This is an especially good option if you want to share space with a big group and can be quite affordable. You can check this website for availability. Just make sure to consider which side of Seneca Lake you are staying on. The lake is long and skinny and can take a long time to drive around. The bottom or the east side of the lake is best.
There are not many large hotels in this area, but a lot of cheap B&Bs, guest houses, and motels. Here's a full listing. There are even campgrounds for those who are up for it! Here are some of the ones listed that we particularly thought some folks might be interested in:
* The Farm Sanctuary: They have 3 cabins which each have 2 double beds. For 2 people it's $85/night, for 4 it's $105/night. They started taking reservations for the season on March 1st. Best of all, they give you a tour of the place and a chance to meet some of the animals! (Just don't tell them you eat meat...)
* Catharine Cottages: Adorable little cabins in a woodsy setting.
Lastly, if you are interested in a hotel near the lake, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Glen Motor Inn. In terms of hotels it is nice and it's a pretty good deal: $123 for 2 people per night. The cheapest hotel is probably the Budget Inn, at $85 for a single bed. A little further afield, though closer to Jess's parents, there are more traditional hotels in Corning.
Some places may have either 2 or 3 night minimums at this time of year, so be sure to ask. As this is a somewhat popular time of year in the area, we recommend that you make your reservations sooner rather than later.
Hopefully this post covers any type of lodging that you might have in mind, but feel free to post any questions in the comment section or email us!

Ben and I need to plan eeeks. Do you have any favorites among the B&Bs that aren't too pricey. Also, do you know whether most folks are driving in from NYC (how long is that) vs one of the smaller airports...we'd probably rent our own car but maybe we can give someone else a ride too?
