LJ lodging - any recommendations?

[Tree Top Lover]

Anyone with experience have any recommendations on local lodging for LJ100? I'll assume most everything is booked, but if anyone is aware of a cheap hotel or cabin rental, I would appreciate any input. I see a few places in the Wellston area, but before I started calling I thought I check here first. Thanks in advance.

We stayed at the Black Bear Inn a few years ago. It's right on Caberfae Hwy near where you turn onto the road that goes to the trailhead. You can't get much closer to the venue. If you're looking for five-star amenities, this is not the place - I think you'd have to drive to one of the bigger cities for that. But our room was clean and up-north quaint and had a mini-fridge. I believe it even had air conditioning. I thought it was perfect.

Yes, that's the one.
