Dress code
Attendees who are arriving early or staying late should be aware that the Mountain House requires gentlemen to wear jackets for dinner in the main dining room. However, because the workshop has its own dining room for dinner, jackets are not required during the workshop.
Check-in/check-out
Check-in begins after 4:00 pm, and check-out time is 2:00 pm. Participants may arrive earlier than the check-in time; the Mountain House will store any baggage until the rooms are ready.
Getting there
Mohonk Mountain House is within easy driving distance from anywhere on the North Eastern Seaboard. Please check www.mohonk.com for detailed driving directions from your specific starting point. On that web page, information regarding transportation reservations is also presented.
Since a great number of the workshop attendees come from outside of the US, it is of great interest to note that Stewart International Airport in Newburgh (SWF/KSWF) is the closest such airport. Mohonk Mountain House is 25 miles from the Stewart International Airport, 70 miles from Albany Airport, and less than 100 miles from New York City area airports.
Useful information regarding ground transportation from these vicinity airports to Mohonk is gathered in the following:
- Stewart International Airport: For Taxi/Limousine Service, the airport recommends Visconti Ground Transport Service located near Baggage Claim. A one-way trip takes about 25 minutes.
- Albany International Airport: A list of taxi/limousine services can be found on the airport’s webpage. Buses and car rentals are also available. A one-way trip takes about 70 minutes.
- For those who fly to one of NYC international airports (Newark, JFK), there is a bus from NYC port authority to New Paltz. Follow this link. You may then contact Mohonk Mountain House to arrange free shuttle pickup fro/to New Paltz bus station.
