ALL ABOUT HUDSON, NEW YORK (and how to get there!)

Hudson, NY is located approximately 2 hours north of New York City, a quick trip by car or train, and yet you instantly feel worlds away. Nestled along the beautiful Hudson River, surrounded by nature and full of charm, Hudson is a renewed, transformed, & vibrant city.

The natural landscape of Hudson, with it's now visionary and inspiring community, reflects the spirit and intention of Destination Detox: renewal, freedom from un-healthy habits, discovery and re-discovery of self. As stated by Mark McDonald, "Hudson was a renewal project waiting to happen. Hudson is finally starting to grow into the reputation that it's had for 25 years. It was going to be a place where something was going to happen. The downtown had not been destroyed. Great buildings were available. It's one long stretch - very easy, no directions; you go to Warren Street and you're there. Because everything had been built out into the suburbs in terms of the services and the Wal-Marts, there was no distraction and no destruction of the main street of Hudson. It was a bizarre reverse preservation."

Named one of the top 10 places to visit in 2012 by Lonely Planet, Hudson, NY provides the perfect backdrop for Destination Detox. Guests will hike through history daily, view the famed Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, visit Frederick Church's Historic Home & Landscape at Olana, the Catskill Mountains and Greene County, known for their breathtaking landscapes and natural beauty.
