Looking for a good deal? From NY or NJ, the best deal is often a Frontier flight out of Philadelphia (PHL) or Trenton (TTN). From GRR, consider Southwest. After RDU, the closest airports are Greensboro (GSO, a 1-hour drive away) or Charlotte (CLT, a bit over 2 hours away).

Hotel

Various hotels

Please feel free to book at whatever type of place, price, and location is best for you. We don't have a room block, so feel free to book wherever you'd like! If you'd like us to put you in touch with other guests to coordinate lodging with friends or family, please let us know. Grace's family: if you'd like to coordinate lodging, please reach out to Kathy; Keith's family, please reach out to Janet. Besides options in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, you could consider staying in Durham (this is where we live). Durham is about 25-35 minutes from the ceremony/reception site.

House Or Rental

Airbnb

There are a number of apartments, houses, and rooms in the area that can be rented through Airbnb. New to Airbnb? We suggest reading the reviews and choosing a "Superhost" for added confidence. When you search, enter a slightly lower price than what you're willing to pay (to leave some room for taxes & fees).
