Travel Note

By Air

For guests coming from further away, it’s good to realize that it’s often much quicker and easier to choose a local airport instead of the main NYC airports. The Catskills are served by both regional and commuter service airlines, with service into Albany Airport (71 miles from the wedding venue), Stewart International Airport in Newburgh (89 miles from the wedding venue), and Binghamton Airport (104 miles from the wedding venue). Car rental services are available at all airports (and are usually cheaper than at the major NYC airports).

Travel Note

By Bus

Trailways NY buses depart from the Port Authority terminal in Manhattan. There are about 8 buses per day departing to our region. Take the bus in the direction of Oneonta; some of the main stops on its way are Kingston and Woodstock. The stops nearest to Roxbury are Fleischmans, Arkville, and Margaretville, about ten miles from our barn, and all minutes apart from each other. Each village offers plenty of lodging options in walking distance from the bus stops (our Lodging List often mentions this for the specific lodging options). Most Trailways buses offer free wifi. Good to know: there is no bus service all the way to Roxbury, and car services in our area are limited, so travelers who come by bus ideally would car pool with other guests to and from the party.

Train and Local Car Rental

Guests who start their trip in New York City and who are planning on renting a car, can often save money by renting well outside of New York City. It also makes for a much shorter drive, and eliminates the stressful drive out of the city. Bus: take the bus from NYC to Kingston. All major car rental companies can be found there, some of them will even pick you up at the bus station. For bus details: see the top of this page. Amtrak: take a train upstate from NYC’s Penn Station and pick up your wheels in Rhinecliff (a 1 1/2 hour train ride, numerous car rental options in nearby Kingston). Metro-North’s Hudson line: take the train from Manhattan’s Grand Central to Peekskill (1 1/2 hour from Penn Station) or Poughkeepsie (2 hours from Penn Station). (Metro North’s tickets are cheaper than Amtrak’s)
