Probably Wilkes Barre/Scranton Pa or Binghampton, NY which is still going to be a 2 hr drive, maybe 3. But there isn't anything very close.
BWI is Baltimore, MD. That may be your best bet if you have a ride. Elmira Corning Regional Airport would be the closest, less than an hour from Wellsboro.

If anyone needs to fly in for this, don't hesitate to consider Rochester, NY airport. While it is a 3 hour drive, its a very easy drive with only 2 stopsigns between the airport and Wellsboro. 4 lane hwy most of the way.
For hotels, don't just look in Wellsboro. There are several about `15 minutes west of Wellsboro on Rte 6. The Canyon Motel is one and there are many cabins for rent in the "Ansonia" and "Rexford" areas. Suggest if some want to group together and rent a house, you could save a bit of money too as many choices with multiple bedrooms for $200 and less per night. Look at the Pinecreek Lodge on VRBO or AIRBNB. The Pine Creek Lodge has 4 bedrooms I know and is very big. Not sure if it is available but there are many others in that area. Several campgrounds too, one in the Gaines, PA area, I think it used to be called Kearses Campground but that was long ago. Very nice though. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions as I grew up in this area.

See my post regarding cabins for rent in the area about 15 miles west of Wellsboro on Rte 6.

Joe, there are several "cabins" houses for rent on AIRBNB and VRBO that are directly on Pine Creek. Would tie into your fishing plans and by getting a place with multiple guys, will save much versus a hotel room. Just a thought.

Rochester, NY should have much better flight costs than Harrisburg, at least back before Covid it did, and its a very similar drive as Harrisburg, straight shot on 4 lane hwy but roughly 3 hr drive.

A few of us stayed at the Stony Fork Creek Campground (570) 724-3906 during the 2016 ‘Fest. More than adequate for my needs with individual camp sites, fire pits, hot showers and a 15 min., 9mi. drive from the venue.

Just informed by an attendee that he booked a room with a queen bed at the Canyon Motel and there were only two rooms left, both single queens. He also indicated that his reservations were made at Booking.com and the savings were substantial when compared to booking through the Canyon Motels website

Thanks. So it's a swap meet? Not really, more like a gathering of like-minded people to celebrate everything Savage. Good food, drink and comradery. Hope to see you in Wellsboro this June.

If you are interested in Savage levers it will be well worth your time! Mark the calendar and save up your questions. You are too close to not come.
