Flight
If you're one of our out of town guests, Rochester International Airport is the closest to our venue at about an hour and a half drive to Watkins Glen. Syracuse Hancock International Airport is another great option, also at about an hour and a half drive from the venue if you're planning just for Watkins Glen, or to explore more of Central New York. If you're planning to extend your trip and explore Niagara Falls and Western New York, flights into Buffalo also an option to consider. The commute from Buffalo Niagara International Airport to our venue is roughly two and a half hours, but just 30 minutes from the U.S. side of the falls.
Travel Note
Upstate New York is very different from New York City! If you're looking to explore, we highly recommend using Uber or renting a car to get around upstate's sprawling layout. The drive is almost always beautiful in the fall.
House Or Rental
There are tons of affordable Airbnb options around both Watkins Glen and the tree-lined Finger Lakes as well as the historic Rochester area! Do keep in mind that Watkins Glen is roughly an hour and a half from Rochester but both are great to visit depending on the trip you're interested in!
