Well, looks like I'm going to be able to make the Harvest Moon Festival this year, and that makes me HAPPY!
I'm riding my motorcycle up from central Illinois, mostly so I can afford the fuel, and will probably be traveling alone. Just gonna get some air.
I've been looking at the hotels and it's a little difficult to find anything under a hundred bucks! That's a lot of money for a poor boy just to lay his head down for three or four nights!
Anyone know of a lower rate in the Ely area? Bunk house? Hostel?!!? I'd gladly share a bothroom and a shower.

Check out the Westgate Motel. It has had reasonable rates in the past and decent (clean) rooms. My parents have stayed there numerous times, and we did once, too; plus my old place of employment recommends it to their customers. I don't think they have tvs, but who needs one? Call the Chamber of Commerce, too. They might be able to help. I know some outfitters have bunkrooms, but those are for customers who are going out on a trip.

Good luck! I like the Harvest Moon Festival--much more laid back than the Blueberry Arts Festival. Is the Blues Festival the same weekend?

The bad news is, I have been unable to contact them with either their regular or 1-800 number.

Could.
Maybe I could sleep with the Rendezvous re-enactors!

Hmm...try the Chamber and ask about it. Maybe they closed down? I wouldn't think so, but who knows--I wasn't able to make it before I moved. Tenting is definately the cheapest way to go, but bring a warm sleeping bag!

They changed their name and #! They are now the Canoe Inn.
I got a room at an outfitter for $38.00! Even has a tv and my own bath.
I'm set.
