Directions, accommodations, things to do, and some local breakfast and lunch recommendations :-)
Owls Hoot Barn is located in the beautiful Hudson Valley Region of Upstate New York at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains.
The venue is less than 30 minutes to Albany (closest airport) and about 2 hours from NYC, nicely situated just 5 minutes off I-87. There is an Amtrak line that runs from NYC to Hudson, NY in 2 hours. We recommend purchasing Amtrack tickets at your earliest convenience. West Coxsackie is a 20 minute drive from Hudson and Uber/Lyft is available in the area.
Popular cities like Hudson, Athens and Catskill are just minutes away and well known for shopping, dining, and galleries. Hiking and farmers markets are popular local activities.
