Travel & Lodging
Hotel
Wylder Hotel Windham
Located on 20 acres alongside the Batavia Kill River, Wylder Windham is where we'd love the majority of our guests to stay. Wylder is a 3 minute walk to our Friday welcome drinks location and it's the pickup/drop-off destination for the Saturday wedding buses. As September rolls around, the Catskills will be entering peak wedding season - so book as early as you can!
Hotel
Albergo Allegria Hotel & Breakfast Restaurant
The Albergo is a charming Inn & Breakfast that stands just a few buildings down from the Wylder - offering guests a more traditional Catskills experience at an affordable price. Note: if you'd like to book here, simply do so via their website, or feel free to call and book over the phone. They are more old school and thus may take a bit longer to respond via email inquiry.
House Or Rental
AIRBNB RENTALS
Interested in a private or group Airbnb? Go for it! There are a lot of adorable (and affordable!) options in the Windham area that give off that authentic mountain weekend vibe. Our one call-out is to confirm the distance your rental is to the bus pickup/drop-off location at Wylder Hotel so that you can drink responsibly over the weekend.
Flight
Albany International Airport
The closest airport is Albany International Airport, about 1 hour from Windham, NY. If you plan to fly in, we recommend renting a car in Albany before driving down.
Flight
LGA, JFK, EWR Airports
Some out-of-towners may want to fly into NYC a day or two early! If so, you can fly into one of NYC's three airports, stay in the city for the evening, and then rent a car/carpool with New Yorkers up from the city Friday afternoon.
Train
Amtrak
Want to cut back on the number of hours in the car? Split up your drive with a scenic train ride. Jump on the Amtrak, get off at Hudson, and finish with a ~20 minute drive to Windham for the home stretch. We recommend renting a car in Hudson, or pre-planning a taxi/Uber/friend pickup. Note - we suggest also scheduling your return ride to the Amtrak station for Sunday.
Rental Car
Greyhound Bus
Looking for a budget friendly way to straight-shoot from NYC to Windham? You can always take the bus! Greyhound, Megabus, and several other charter companies offer 4 hour journeys from Port Authority to Windham. The drop-offs are a 2 minute drive to the main hotel guests will be staying at (but you'll likely still want someone to pick you up).
Rental Car
Road Trip!
For the majority of friends coming up from New York City, our best recommendation is to rent a car/Turo and carpool up with others. As you'll see in the 'Things To Do' tab, there's so much to take advantage of in the Catskills for this mountain weekend. Having a car handy will let you travel around to do it all. Plus, that 2.5 hour drive from NYC to Windham makes for an easy door-to-door commute!
