Little Joe Cottage in Hudson

Welcome to my 120+ year old home in downtown Hudson, NY. This sweet, cozy semi attached house has charm and character. It's perfectly situated for exploring the historic city of Hudson. Come in by Amtrak and walk right to the home, shopping, city parks, dining options, and more. Or, drive in and use this home as a launching site for exploring the greater Hudson Valley, including hiking, farms, art and cultural sites, and more. The space Perfectly situated on the downtown "grid" of the teeny city of Hudson, my home is a quick walk to the shopping, dining, and art offerings that span Warren Street. My home is functional, comfortable and overflowing with good vibes. This home is ideal for singles, couples, or small groups of friends, with any well behaved pets that accompany you. It’s not a party house or high end vacation rental. The home is attached to a building on one side, and a few yards from the neighbors on the other. The front entrance sits behind a picket fence, bringing you into a charming, sweet home among the row houses of the block. It's the perfect intersection of "city living" and a private Hudson Valley retreat. You'll enter the home through the mudroom via the backyard, and I hope you'll feel at home among my mismatched vintage furniture and unique art collection. A well-stocked kitchen, laundry room, and living spaces will be at your disposal. This is AirBnb the way it used to be! A personalized, unstuffy, work-in-progress home available to trustworthy adult guests at a reasonable price. This home is not suitable for people with severe pet allergies, as there are regular pet visitors. Individuals with accessibility needs should be aware that there are stairs and a deep soaking tub as the only bath/shower option. For their safety and comfort, I do not host children. Guest access My ~1100 square foot house has two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. You'll be able to check yourself in using the lock box, and you'll have access the whole home. Downstairs there is a sun porch, living room, dining room, kitchen, and half-bath/laundry room. Up the stairs, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. There are work spaces set up in the dining room and larger bedroom, making this an ideal work-from-home or writers' retreat spot. Guests are welcome to use the Peloton and exercise equipment. This is my primary residence and not a full-time guest house or short-term rental facility, so you will notice that my personal items are here. Help yourself to books and puzzles during your stay, light candles for a cozy vibe, use the bath salts for a nice soak, take a Peloton class or do some mat yoga, and feel free to dip into my pantry items if you're cooking. When the weather permits, the backyard and sun porch are lovely places to spend time! Other things to note Please note that a 4% lodging tax is added to the charges in accordance with Hudson's local ordinances. Please in your message or request to book, let me know who will be staying at the home. I will look at your reviews from past stays, so if there's anything you want me to know about you as a guest, please feel free to share. I can only accommodate guests who are comfortable with friendly, two-way communication, as managing the home is not my full-time job. This is AirBnb as it was originally conceived: an individual homeowner sharing her abundant space at a reasonable price to experienced travelers. Thank you so much for considering staying here!
