Travel Note

Should I stay in Ripley or Erie?

It all depends! If you are just coming for the wedding and want to be closer to the venue, Ripley, NY (or Northeast, PA which is about a 10 min drive from the venue) could be the way to go. In Northeast there are lots of wineries and places to eat (like The Skunk and Goat - a cute little restaurant on Main St that was formerly a Bank!). However if you plan on making a whole weekend out of this trip, you may want to stay in Erie where there is plenty to do and you'll have access to Presque Isle (sun, beaches, ice cream, etc!). You'll have about a 30 min drive to the venue on Sunday if you do stay in Erie.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Northeast

This hotel is close to the venue - in Northeast, PA which is where a lot of the vineyards that span this portion of Lake Erie are. If you follow Route 5 along the lake from Erie heading east, it will lead you right through Northeast and shortly after that you'll find yourself in Ripley, NY (where our venue is located!)

Hotel

Hampton Inn & Suites Erie Bayfront

This hotel is in Erie on the Bayfront with an excellent view of the lake! You'll have about a 30 minute drive from this hotel to the venue.

Hotel

Wingate by Wyndham Erie

This hotel is in Erie, but close to the highway that will take you to Ripley for the wedding! It is right around 30 minutes to get from Erie to the venue in Ripley, NY.
