More Car Service Information

Wedding planning is coming along! Are we stressed out? Yes, but we are enjoying every minute of it. Especially, the wine tasting part.
We have new car service information for everyone. For car service from any part of the Hudson Valley, which includes Woodstock and surrounding areas, contact Dawn at (845) 565-1616. Check out their website at http://www.allfamilytrans.com/airport.html. She states that she will beat any ones prices. Her price for up to six people starts at $80, but this doesn't mean she won't negotiate. Also, she can provide a six person van from all NYC airports for $250. This car service will dispatch directly from the airports and will accommodate any car pooling. So, everyone can post here and we can call to set up. Please, please post as you decide on accommodations!

Ground Transportation

At each airport website, there will be a link to ground transportation. There are a variety of options such as Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget. This is the best and easiest way to book a rental car. We definitely recommend this option as there is only one taxi service in Woodstock, NY. If you don't have a full car or a need a ride, please make a comment on this post. We know that some people would love to share the rental car cost.

If you would like to use the taxi service, please contact Mark at (845)679-7766. The only downside to this is that you must make reservation two weeks in advance to use this service. He only operates within the Hudson Valley area.

If you are planning on coming from the city without a rental car, there is a bus that drops you off right in town. You can view the bus schedule at: http://www.trailwaysny.com/html/english/fares_pdf/woodsnyc.pdf

Accommodations

There is a nice selection of accommodations in Woodstock. We visited all of the ones mentioned in this post. Please book soon, as a few of the locations we wanted to add are already fully booked.

Twin Gables $89-165

This is the oldest guest house right in the center of town. There are 3 rooms with a private bath and 6 rooms European style with 2 full baths and 1 half bath in the hallway.

The Wild Rose Inn $175-275

Beautiful B&B just outside of town. Only 5 rooms available. The lady who runs the place seems very nice and the house is stunning.

Woodstock Lodge $99-239

With about a 10min walk to town this place is a solid choice. There is a restaurant and a bar thats open late. The rooms are cute little cottages and there are 27 available.

Getaway-on-the-Falls $140
www.getawayonthefalls.com
There is an apartment and 2 studios. It has a nice rustic feel and its right in the center of town. These should go quick!

Morning Glory $85-129
www.morninggloryinwoodstock.com
We didn't get to see the rooms but its a short walk from town and the family who runs the house seemed nice. 4 rooms with private baths.

Airport Options

There are two airports conveniently located less than one hour from Treasure Farm.

Stewart International Airport (SWF)
Albany International Airport (ALB)

Both airports have a good selection of airlines and rental car companies. During our last trip to the farm we flew into Stewart because we were able to find a good deal on a non-stop flight from Ft. Lauderdale. With the help of a trusty rented GPS system (highly recommended), we were at the farm in less than an hour without any problems. During our next trip we will try to fly into Albany, so we can give everyone a comparison of the two options.

For those of you who are planing to visit the city, there are three airport options.

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)
LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
Kennedy Airport (JFK)

Its a 2.5-3 hour drive from the city to the farm. We will update the website soon with information regarding ground transportation.

Tying up loose ends!

The roots of a Sequoia at Yosemite National Park (us with Jessi and Tim)!

For those of you that don't know, we are back in the United States! Actually, Boca Raton, Florida. So, here is a short version of what we are doing now. Jay has the exciting position as a partner in the family business, Performance Depot. Kacee is the Family Services Specialist at the Covenant House of Florida, which is a homeless shelter for at risk youth. Our lives have been taken over by the real world! Help! Who wants responsibilities! We often dream about our next world adventure. Which in this case, will be our luscious, tropical, and romantic honeymoon. Well, Kacee hopes so! Yes, yes, we are planning a wedding! We have the exciting news of announcing that our big day will take place in Bearsville, New York at Treasure Farm on October 18, 2008.
