Getting Around:
Phoenicia Farmhouse is 2.5 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, Garden State Pkwy S and NJ-17 S. We strongly recommend a 4x4 or a car with four-wheel drive, especially in winter, to handle snow and gravel roads.
