Our family had a marvelous week at the barn. Everything was precisely as promised, inc. the state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen. We would recommend this amazing place to one and all with enthusiasm.
Host was incredibly responsive and gave us the rundown

Had a great time staying at this amazing place. The 3 bed/3 bathroom situation was perfect for the amount of people we had. Our dog loved the huge yard too. It was the perfect get away during the craziness of Covid, you are pretty secluded but then…
Great stay!

Secluded, quiet property in a beautiful, wooded area. House was wonderful, high-end and well equipped. Huge lawn, great pool and hot tub, lots of fire options if staying there in the colder seasons.
4.5 stars but do have some recommendations…
We will be back here again for sure.

Thank you, team, for a wonderful stay at Hudson Woods. The property and homes were beautiful and fit our needs perfectly.
The only feedback we have is that we wish we had known the pool would be closed for the weekend. Everyone brought swimsuits…
