Train
Hudson, NY is ~2.5 hours from NYC by car, but the train is another great option. You can take Amtrak directly from Penn Station (NYC) to Hudson, NY, which takes ~2 hours. Make sure to purchase tickets ahead of time as summer is a busy time for travel in the area. Rates vary depending on how early you book, and what day and time you are traveling. The train route follows the Hudson River and is a beautiful trip! The Hudson train station is a short 5-10 minute walk from downtown Hudson. Amtrak tickets can be purchased at www.amtrak.com. When planning your Amtrak trip google maps is also a helpful resource - click on the Public Transportation icon.
Flight
If you are flying in, there are several airport options. Albany (ALB) is conveniently located to Coxsackie, but will have more limited flight options. Worth looking into (~30 minute drive)! Newark (EWR) has tons of flight options, and you may avoid some traffic in the five boroughs if you plan to drive (~2.5 hrs drive). There is also public transport (shuttle or train) to Penn Station to conveniently transfer to Amtrak. Uber/Lyft is also available to travel to Penn Station. LGA & JFK will have many flight options, but be prepared for more traffic in the city if you plan to drive (3+ hrs drive). These are good options if you plan to fly + train into Hudson - take the subway or an Uber/Lyft to Penn Station to connect to Amtrak.

House Or Rental
There are a lot of great Airbnb options in Hudson. We recommend staying with a "Superhost" and in the downtown Hudson area so that you can walk to and from the shuttle bus. The downtown area is considered to stretch from Front Street/Empire State Trail on the west side, Allen and/or Union Street on the south side, Prospect Avenue on the east side, and south of Underhill Pond. We also recommend selecting the filter "Entire Home" so that you don't end up staying in the same space as a retired Capoeira teacher named Efraim who is very friendly but also not afraid to crack a beer open right next to your ear when you're on a work call. (Jack made this mistake once and Hanna, Lily, and Nate all suffered for it). Highly encourage you to responsibly take a look!
