Gavin's has no more empty rooms; there may be folks willing to share a double, though! There are a couple of possible ways to find them. You could try checking out the room and ridesharing blog at

Or put something up on our facebook page -- or, heck, even here!
One of our boardmembers had this to say about housing alternatives:
Cheers,If you get closed out of Gavin’s – remember that Furlong’s is, sad to say, no more. During Irish Arts Week, I have stayed at the Rose Motel, down 145 about 2 miles – very nice, and very reasonably priced. No food, just rooms, and they do have kitchenettes. I think they’ll be open during the Tionol, and it is well worth checking out. (http://www.rosemotelny.com/rates.html) Especially if your diet isn’t well served at Gavin’s!
That said, Gavin’s has allowed you to pay for individual meals there if you’re not staying there, if you want to join the rest of the Tionol participants in a meal.
The Blackthorne has its own event going on that weekend (Country & Western Weekend!), but it’s a big place, and likely to have rooms available. They may require paying for their meal plan.
