Staying at Wooded Way puts you in the heart of one of the Hudson Valley’s most dynamic areas, with great food, shopping, and outdoor adventure all within easy reach.
For a memorable night out, make a reservation at one of Kingston’s standout restaurants—Chleo, Sonder, Mirador, Lola Pizza, or the charming Brunette Wine Bar—each offering its own unique take on seasonal, locally inspired cuisine. In the mornings, grab a coffee at Camp Kingston or Village Coffee & Goods, both favorites for their relaxed vibes and excellent brews.
Spend an afternoon exploring some of our favorite shops: Hamilton & Adams for elevated essentials, Westerlind for outdoor lifestyle gear, Rivermint Finery for thoughtful accessories, and Clove & Creek for beautifully curated home goods. If you're stocking up for the weekend, Kingston Wine Co. has an exceptional selection, and the Kingston Farmers Market is the perfect place to meet local growers and artisans.

Getting Around:
Wooded Way is just over 2 hours from New York City. A car is essential for getting there and exploring the area. The main access routes are the I-87 S, NJ-17 S and Palisades Interstate Pkwy S. We strongly recommend a 4x4 or a car with four-wheel drive, especially in winter, to handle snow and gravel roads.
