Every kind, one call
This is the Town of Rochester in Ulster County — Accord and Kerhonkson — not the city upstate. It’s a resort town on US-209 where most of the parked cars belong to people staying the night.
Overnight guests
Inness at Accord is a 225-acre farmhouse resort with golf and a spa. The Hudson Valley Resort & Spa at Kerhonkson is the other significant destination property.
Resort parking is different from every other kind in this cluster. Cars sit overnight and often for several nights, outdoors, through whatever the weather does. And the owners are, by definition, not local — the spare key is at home, wherever home is.
The pattern that produces: a guest walks out on the second or third morning to a fob that won’t respond after two cold nights. Ours is the call after that.
If you’re staying and your fob has been temperamental, the battery is worth changing before you travel rather than after. Our key fob battery guide covers it.
The ridge
Western Rochester touches the Minnewaska and Sam’s Point access, so some of the parking here is hikers rather than guests. Same pattern as Gardiner and Wawarsing — out all day, back at dusk.

No dealer here
Rochester has no franchised dealership. The nearest independents are New Paltz or Ellenville; franchised stores mean Kingston.
For a resort guest without a working car, that’s academic — the dealer route needs a car that drives.
Our comparison of the options covers what each can do.

- Which property or lot, and which hamlet — Accord or Kerhonkson
- Year, make and model
- Whether you have any working key, and where it is
