The Elephant Room is a short-term rental (Airbnb) right next door to The Norton Building. This property makes a great addition to your venue rental!

We've seen it used for:
  • Out of town couples can stay close to their venue
  • Space for the groom's party to get ready
  • Extra space for caterers or vendors to prep


Note: The Norton Building is not affiliated with The Elephant Room, we just like the space! All bookings are separate.

The Ruston Lofts is a hybrid boutique hotel and short term rental, offering 3 suites with a shared common area. The lofts are just a block away from our venue and are another great option for staying nearby, for out of town friends or family, or for extra space on your event day.
