Will & Jesse

This is somewhat more complicated than we’d like, because a rival wedding across town got an early hold on tons of hotel rooms. We hope it rains on their ceremony. Please note: The hotels report a lot of demand for rooms that weekend, so your best bet is to act fast!

There are very few rooms at the Inn itself, and they’ll mostly be occupied by family. We’d like you to book elsewhere — but you’re always welcome to stop by and hang out.

We strongly recommend you look for Airbnb options, especially if you have other friends or family who will part of our celebration with whom you can share a house. This is prime weekend-place territory, and there are many fantastic options nearby.

UPDATED, AUGUST 9: This lovely Catskills lodge is located around the corner from Deer Mountain. It’s the perfect place to stay. The Other Wedding had blocked all of its rooms, but they’re now available. Rooms range from $200 to $375 per night, plus a $650 three-bedroom suite, all with a two-night minimum. There are only a few rooms left, so call ASAP.

This bed and breakfast down on the main drag (less than a 10-minute drive away) gets wonderful reviews. People seem to love the breakfasts. We have a block held, and rooms run from $175 to $210 per night, with a two night minimum. Call 518-589-5560 and tell them you’re with the Oxfeld-Strasser wedding.

This new boutique hotel opened last summer in a renovated old bunkhouse. About 20 minutes away from Deer Mountain, in the direction away from New York City, it’s cute, well-appointed, and gets amazing reviews. We have rooms on hold through August 15, so act fast. There are a mix of king rooms and double queen rooms, some of which can comfortably hold more than two people. There are also a few glamping cabins that seem pretty cool, if that’s your thing. Rates run from $299 to $379 per night, with a two-night minimum. Call 518-734-0553, and tell them you’re with the Oxfeld-Strasser wedding.

The slopeside hotel at Hunter Mountain is just over 10 minutes away. It’s the equivalent of a Ramada by the highway: Perfectly fine, perfectly clean, nothing special. Because it’s marketed to families on ski weekends, there are several room types, from “studios” to multi-bedroom suites. Most include kitchens.

We have a block reserved here including studios ($200/night), one-bedroom suites ($250), and two-bedroom suites ($385). There are some other options available as well. A two-night minimum is required for the group price, but you can book a single night at prevailing rates. Call 518-263-5580 and tell them you’re with the Oxfeld-Strasser wedding.

This bed and breakfast has a bunch of rooms and gets great reviews. It’s about 20 minutes away from Deer Mountain, across from the Eastwind Hotel. They don’t do wedding blocks, but prices range from $150 to $240 per night, with a two-night minimum.

A dated but well-kept skiers’ roadside motel, this is a basic, fine option that’s located about 10 minutes away. It’s less cheap than you’d think it should be, at $180 to $270 per night. There’s no minimum stay.

This place is very nearby and way overrated. We stayed there once, and after Jesse very politely spent 45 minutes not complaining about how long breakfast was taking, it turned out the server had forgotten to place our order. It’s also the site of the Other Wedding, and so they say they have no rooms available. Plus, if we’re lucky it’ll rain there.
