Whether you live in the Rochester metropolitan area, around Buffalo, near Syracuse, or across the border in Ontario, Canada, winter-friendly Rochester is just around the corner! A short drive along the New York State Thruway and other convenient expressway routes makes a coldrush getaway in Rochester as easy as packing up the car and backing out of the driveway.

For those who like a slightly slower pace, the trip can also be a pleasurable, scenic drive on easily accessible roads through snow-covered views of pristine white landscapes.

Or head to Rochester by bus, train or plane and then use local transportation to travel between coldrush attractions.

Whatever mode of transportation you choose, in an hour or two, and most likely less, you've arrived at your lodging facility, unpacked and started to enjoy whatever activity most appeals to you! From luxury suites with all the amenities to budget-conscious rooms or a quaint bed & breakfast inn with character to spare, there are lodging options to suit every style.
