Q + A

The Getaway

This is the Grafton Getaway, our venue. It has 10 bedrooms and sleeps 41 (wow!) Some of the rooms are a little odd, and only a few of them are private, but there's lots of beds! Let us know if you are interested in staying here and we will reserve space for you. Room preference is given to those staying Friday-Sunday, and decided on a first come first serve basis. Staying at the Getaway is $30 per person per night.
