Hi all,

Here are the results of some research we did on some places to stay, in the area, for our August 4th celebration. We hope you find something that will work for you. Where we have included some comments, (you will find the **). As we have never stayed at any of these places, a phone call to establishments of interest, or a check of the internet, may be the best way to learn more.

Call if you need help, or an opinion,
