With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Rhinebeck, 19 miles away, has to offer. Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck and Poet’s Walk Park alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Woodstock, 19 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Bethel Woods Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Opus 40 and Karma Triyana Dharmachakra Monastery.)
