Getting Here
We do not post our address online, but we share it with everyone who registers to attend one of our events. Here is some general information about how to get to us!
We are in the Hudson Valley of New York, on the ancestral lands of the Esopus people. It’s easy to get here by car or public transit! Lots of people take the Trailways Bus (to Rosendale), the Metronorth train (to Poughkeepsie, via the Hudson Line), or the Amtrak train (to Poughkeepsie from the south or Rhinecliff from the north) to get here.
We have a travel fund with earmarked donations to ensure that finances aren’t a barrier to people coming to visit. If you want to use our travel fund, you can let us know in your event registration form, and we can either send you funds to get your ticket or gas, or reimburse you after you get here. (If you want to donate to the travel fund to support others in their journeys to the Rêve, please check out our Mutual Aid page, and thank you!) There are also frequent carpools to our events from NYC and other areas, and we support our guests in self-organizing to connect with each other around helping each other get here.
Visiting For An Event
If you’d like to attend an event at the Rêve, keep an eye on our social media, newsletter, or Announcements Signal thread to find out about our season schedule! Our events require pre-registration, and you can find the registration forms in our Instagram bio, on our Events page, or by following our announcements!
Some of our events are overnights and some are day events, and all of them are always free to attend!
Visiting Outside of Events
We love to host our community! If there isn’t an event happening, but you’d like to come vanish into the woods for a little while, drop us a line and we can talk about making it happen. Whatever the reason, wherever you’re coming from, whatever support you need to get here, reach out by email, or on Signal if you need more secure communication.
Accommodations
We have lots and lots of camping space and camping gear to loan out. For campers, we have a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, toilet, and shower to minimize COVID risk so we can take good care of each other. Whether you’re an experienced camper or have never been in a tent before, we’re here to help!
And this year for the first time, we hope to have available the Momma Renée Sanctuary Casita – an ADA-accessible, separate indoor space with a kitchenette, sleeping space for four, and electric hookup. We are excited to offer this option to our guests who can’t safely sleep on the ground, need to plug in a CPAP machine, or otherwise cannot access tent camping (or need to visit at a time of year when camping is inadvisable), but still want to experience the Rêve, as well as those who need a soft place to temporarily land in their pursuit of safety and freedom.
Access
We purchase and make available COVID tests and facemasks for guests, and all our events have cancellation policies pegged to the average transmission rates reported in New York State, NYC, and Ulster county. We do our utmost to enable disabled visitors to come to our space, creating special menus and meals to meet every requested dietary need, proactively offering spaces for extra shade and resources for extra cooling, organizing volunteers to help load/unload people's gear, coordinating rideshares, and more. As a group of disabled queers ourselves, we know how heartwrenching it can be to have events and spaces be inaccessible or not COVID-cautious, and we are committed to disability justice in everything we do!
As of May 2026, the Casita is still under construction, but we are making good progress.

Drug policy
The Rêve strives to center the needs of its sober community members. Please let us know in advance if you plan to take substances for ritual and/or recreation during your stay. You don’t need to ask permission, but knowing in advance helps us plan accordingly. You can share the information on the visitors' Signal thread or with residents upon arrival.
Casual use of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis are norms on site. If you need particular care around those substances (for example, if you are in recovery, allergic to smoke, etc), please let us know here or via Signal.
Pet policy
Pets are welcome but it's important that they play well with others and that you get explicit approval from residents before bringing them. All dogs should be brought to visit the property at least once, arranged with the residents, before coming along to an event. There is one dog that lives in the back house, and one cat that lives in the front house. Please let us know if you are allergic to them.
Harm & Accountability Policies and Procedures
As of May 2026, we are actively hard at work on updating these and will post them soon.
