HOUSING

Due to October being the high season of the changing leaves, many hotels and Airbnbs have a 2 night minimum. We recommend checking in on Saturday and taking Sunday as a day of rest, exploration nearby, and joining us Sunday night for dinner.

Hotels — Hotels are limited due to October high season. We recommend hotels in Hudson, which is where the bulk of guests will stay in Airbnbs. The Inn at Pine Plains is also located nearby the event, with less of a town to explore, and allows a one night stay. Feel free to message Leigh, Court, or Irwin for support.

Airbnbs — We have reserved several AirBnbs in and around Hudson for Saturday, October 4th to Monday, October 6th. You can check out the options below and reserve your spot by adding your name to the spreadsheet. We will add additional Airbnbs based on demand. We will have house captains collect payment for each Airbnb.

Camping — For the adventurous, camping is available at Wildflower Hill.

The vibe — dress to embody your inner monster. Sexiness not required but always welcome.
