Shuttles:
Main Street Drivers - designated driving service or "mini shuttle". You provide the vehicle, they provide the driver. Perfect for if people aren't staying in the same hotel or you need to shuttle people around in smaller numbers (you could also rent a van from Enterprise)
Note: Be careful with this category - a lot of fly by night operators out there offering low prices but struggle to communicate properly with their drivers. If you found one you like that isn't on our list, ask us and we'll let you know if we've worked with them before.
​​
Lodging:
We have 7 suites on-site. For the rest of your party, consider:
Mill Creek Cabins - three comfy cabins sleeping up to 10 across them, in Lodi, about 20 mins from New Park (a sister property to New Park! Same owner)

Inn at Gothic Eves - local bed and breakfast in Trumansburg with 8 suites
Glass Magnolia - local bed and breakfast in Interlaken with 11 suites
​
Insurance:
We have no affiliation with any of these, but want to point you in the right direction! You can also ask your insurance provider to add onto your homeowner's or renter's insurance. Remember there's both special event liability insurance (which we require) and wedding / cancellation insurance (which is strongly recommended).
​
Note: you want a policy without a deductible. Travelers does not have one. Event Helper has a $1000 deductible. This is important if we have to make a small claim (like broken furniture).
