Hotel information
Convenient lodging choices
 
 

 
 

As much as we'd like to, we simply don't have enough room to invite everyone to stay at the house. And, unlike the wedding, we don't have a campground and fleet of RVs to offer as accommodations. There is, however, a wide and varied selection of nearby hotels and motels.

We particularly recommend staying at the DRAWBRIDGE INN in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky. First, because it's a great facility. Its amenities include 2 pools, a jacuzzi, a sauna, fitness room, outdoor playground, high-speed internet, conference rooms, restaurants on site and more. Second, because it's offering our guests a great special rate of $69.00 per night.

Call toll-free to place your reservation:
Inside KY: 800-352-9866
Outside KY: 800-354-9793.

A block of 20 rooms is being held under the name "Kentucky Turneys" for Saturday night, July 1st. Be sure to mention that name and ask for the special rate if you call for a reservation. The same discounted rate is good for up to three days before and/or three days after July 1st if you wish to extend your stay in the tri-state area.

Visit the Drawbridge's Web site www.drawbridgeinn.com for more information about the inn itself and other attractions in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Metropolitan Area.
