Backstreet business off Warren Street. There is a great range of antique shopping options depending on your budget.

Good for monkey, good for us. Love a well made bed with quality linens.

Bathroom – this one is shared with nice big towels and a freestanding bathtub/shower.

Garden & Gun is always a surprisingly good read.

Comfy robes for these creatures of comfort.

Tea for two.

Grab your supplies from Olde Hudson. A great selection and everything you’ll need.

The waterfront is the perfect place for rosé on a rug, just a stones throw from the guest house.

Picnic with the girls.

Taking the little lady on a dinner date at Fish & Game by Zak Pelaccio.

Breakfast eggs at Bread on Warren Street.

Home for the weekend at 20 South Front Street, Hudson NY.

Location – great for a more ‘happening’ upstate getaway. Warren Street has a LOT to see, great antique stores, vintage shopping, good local music and arts scene and lots of gallery options to pop in and out of in between sampling the impressive local cafe’s and restaurants.
Convenient and easy – if you’ve got work to do in Hudson, bidding on an art auction or buying property, it all seems to happen on Warren Street. An easy train ride (two hours) up the Hudson lets you off a short walk away.
Interior design - steers well away from country cottage and has the stylish touch of someone with a good eye for design.
The sound of the distant train whistle in the night is pretty special – great to nod off to.

Sharing a bathroom is just not that much fun – I am either too old or too spoilt. BUT there are rooms with private bathrooms for people like me… I will be booking one of those next time.
A getaway is always made more memorable when you meet new and interesting people – I missed not having a communal area to have a coffee or a scotch with other guests. But the good news is a restaurant/bar is in the works on the ground floor.
You know the waterfront is right across the road, but you just can’t see it due to the housing that blocks the view.
