Question

When should I book travel and accommodations?

Answer

We strongly encourage that you book travel and housing as soon as possible. If you plan on flying then your best bet is to books flights as far out in advance to ensure the lowest fares. For accommodations, even though September is considered the off season, there are limited hotel options and demand for Airbnb and Vrbo rentals can still be quite high that time of year. If you want to take advantage of our discounted rate room block at the Kelley House Hotel, you must book prior to June 10th. After that date, the rooms will be released and will be standard pricing.
