Get yourself to New York City then easy trip here
A good solution to travelling which gives you freedom while visiting is to take Metro North from Grand Central Station in NYC to New Haven, CT. There are rental car companies like Avis and Budget that operate directly from New Haven's Union Station with significantly lower rates than one can find in or near NYC. The drive up Interstate 91 to the Gargoyle House is direct and scenic. This option works well if you want freedom to tour or get around locally while staying at the House. This is also a good option for those flying into NYC who want more freedom to see New England during their stay.
