Mohonk was our first trip together after moving to NYC. Mohonk is a beautiful castle resort with plenty of day activities, including hiking, golfing, and spa services. Please see the day guest packages section of their website to secure a reservation.
We love exploring cute towns in the area! We highly recommend walking around New Paltz, Rhinebeck, or Beacon.
A unique walking bridge over the Hudson River. Parking is available ten minutes away from the hotels at the base of the walkway. Note: there will be a cycling event on the bridge on Sunday. It is still open to pedestrians but will be busier than normal.
A beautiful state park about a half hour from Poughkeepsie. We had our engagement photos taken here.
Visit the historic Vanderbilt Mansion! This historic site is 19 minutes from the hotels. Tickets are required for the house tours, but the grounds are free and open to the public. Pair this trip with a hike or quick drive to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum.
We often go out of our way to stop at Arrowood! It is an hour away, so make it a day trip. We highly recommend the porch beer! This was our go to beer during quarantine when hanging out on our East Village fire escape.
Check out one of the leading culinary institutes in the USA with multiple restaurants on site.
A 20 minute drive to some short hikes. If you come to the welcome event, you'll notice the bridge here is on the label of The Hudson House bottles.
Relaxed estate for regional wines and cheese boards against the backdrop of the Hudson River Valley
