It features a private entrance and is perfect for short or long stays for up to 8 people. Couples, friends, and families all equally love our home. The rental includes private access to the sauna, hot tub, and a seasonally opened in-ground heated swimming pool in a private fenced garden with patios and terraces.
Immerse yourself in the unique town of Hudson, full of artists, creatives, and artisans where you can visit the best galleries, antique/vintage/artisan shops or relax in its great cafes, bars, and restaurants, of the Upper Depot District and Warren Street, a quick stroll away. Take inspiration from the unique architectural heritage of the town and enjoy amazing views of the Catskill mountains that inspired so many artists in the past and continue to do so today.

INSIDE
Kitchen: The chef's kitchen features a cozy farm table that can seat up to six people, a porcelain sink, a large refrigerator with a freezer and ice maker, a gas range with oven and broiler. I provide the necessities for cocktail-making, including a shaker, strainer, and champagne buckets. I love coffee and provide five ways to make coffee and espresso! I also stock various herbs and spices and essential sundries for cooking. I provide special seasonal treats on your arrival, like fresh pastries and bread from our best local bakers, Hudson's Harney and Sons Teas, organic milk, cage-free eggs, yogurt, butter, and juice. We keep our honor bar stocked with bubbles and other options.

It features a very large maple dining table, a vase of flowers, a beautiful tablecloth, candles, and historic wooden chairs to seat up to eight people. There is a sound system in the dining room to use with Bluetooth. There is also a concert grand piano with absolutely beautiful sound.
Living Room: Two Victorian couches with pillows, and two armchairs provide plenty of room to lounge. The wooden floors are covered with an antique carpet, and there are side tables (one filled with playing cards, a tarot deck, and UNO), side lamps, a chandelier, and a cozy gas log fireplace.
Entryway: A large armoire is provided for hanging up coats and clothes. Inside is a portable crib. There is a luggage rack and an umbrella stand.
Furnishings: I've furnished Palazzo Hudson with inspiration and comfort as my top priority. I mixed all of the paints myself, based on the colors of Frederick Church's Olana Mansion. The home features my personal art collection composed of everything from 1800’s Italian portraiture to contemporary art, combined with antiques, elegant furniture, chandeliers, and side lamps. All of the original wood moldings were preserved in the house, and most of the windows feature original centennial glass that creates a unique light as the sun draws across the Hudson Valley sky and drops behind the Catskills.
Entertainment: There are extensive libraries of my personal book collection inside both the house and in the Blue Library Lounge Barn. There's a flat-screen smart TV with Roku. Board games are located in the armoire in the living room. There is a chessboard in the pool house. Card decks are in drawers. There is a historic upright concert grand piano kept well-tuned and ready to play. Musicians love it! Bluetooth stereos are in the house and the backyard/pool area and pool house.
OUTDOORS
Yard: The yard has a tall privacy fence, loungers, an umbrella, nighttime lighting and fragrant flowers, hanging baskets, lush plants, a small vegetable garden, and herbs for cooking.
Hot Tub: Custom-built 6-foot Snorkel Cedar Hot Tub made in Seattle. Put on your robes and grab your spa towels! Enjoy the aromatic hot waters of this natural cedar hot tub, with a surround seat and steps for a relaxing soak during the light of day or under the stars or snowflakes. Available year-round, this provides a luxurious private spa experience!
Sauna: Custom-built, 6x8 foot cedar and ceramic tile sauna awaits you behind an 1800's door, with a high-end Finnish dry sauna unit and custom cedar benches. The designer mural tiled wall with flowers and birds provides a lovely meditation space for total relax in your private spa experience!
Pool: The private luxury in-ground heated salt water pool is open seasonally May-October weather dependent. The patio surround is travertine flagstone and is furnished with teak chaise-longues and lounge chairs in summer. Pool toys and floaters are there for leisure and fun. The pool is 10 by 30 feet and is 3.5- 6.5 feet deep. There are large pool and spa towels in the basement corridor. We provide dishwasher-safe plastic wine and cocktail glasses so you can safely enjoy your refreshments by the pool. This pool is truly magical and has seen so many happy swimmers.
Blue Library-Lounge Barn: The barn features wood floors, French doors, a full-length library bookcase, 25-panel windows, and a Persian carpet to create a perfect relaxing retreat at any time of day or night, for lounging, dancing, yoga, writing, reading or even working out. The Lounge is a good work or creativity space. There are writing desks, a full library of arts and humanities books, as well as cozy niches and a French daybed for lounging. Great sound system with a vinyl record player, records and a disco ball. The room has wifi and is temperature controlled. It features a gas log fireplace with a mantle from the 1850s for extra coziness, as well as a water cooler for your use. This room has a fire hydrant and carbon monoxide sensor for safety.
Deck: The private back deck is 30 feet long and overlooks the pool and backyard, which is filled with flowers and climbing vines in summer under the enormous rustling maple tree. The back deck is perfect for lounging and relaxing on rattan couches with outdoor cushions, enjoying cocktail hour and dining at the table which seats 8. Bird and squirrel watching are an added bonus!
Covered Patio Bar and Outdoor Kitchen: Under the deck is a travertine stone floor patio, with comfortable furniture, antique bar from a boat, bar stools, and lounge chairs. A refrigerator with a freezer and water cooler are just inside so you can stock your favorite beverages or treats. This area is ideal for lounging and relaxing after a spa experience, getting out of the sun, an aperitivo, or riding out a summer storm. There is an excellent 6-burner BBQ with a side table for your use and a charcoal burner for s'mores.

Host profile image
"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

I'm a painter and multimedia artist raised in the Pacific Northwest. I spent half my adult life living in Rome, Italy, where when not creating and exhibiting art I ran a successful high-end private tour company providing art, history, and food and wine tours. For many years I enjoyed hosting travelers at my apartment in Rome. There was even an article written about that apartment in the New York Times! Since 2013 my husband and I have lived between New York City and Hudson. My passions are art, antiques, reading, travel, nature, cooking, entertaining, drinking, eating, and music. These are the things I cannot live without, and all of these passions are readily indulged in the Hudson River Valley.

Why they chose this property

While still living in Rome, Italy our daughter was off at university at Bard College, a leading US liberal-arts school in the Hudson Valley. While visiting her each Spring we fell in love with the area, and after moving to Manhattan decided we just had to have a place in Hudson, one of the great historic small towns of America. Hudson has become our touch stone, for its great mix of shops, restaurants, and beautiful architecture -- and above all for its incredibly diverse and creative community! The nature and history in the region are stunning. This is a great area to explore for its artists, artisan traditions and spirit of the people attracted to it. The area is full of incredible historic sites to visit as well as nature. We love to hike, swim, look at trees and animals during the myriad walks within a 20 minute drive of our home.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite things about our home is watching the light shoot through the hundred year old glass making ethereal patterns on the wall while lazily reading a book in the deep 6 foot long clawfoot tub- this is what country vacations are all about. Our home features many cozy places to read, write or work from. The outdoor area is as important to us as the inside and so we have put a lot of time designing the outdoor deck (for your use privately), the yard and gardens, the patio under the deck which is dry from the rain, and the pool. I've personally designed every aspect of the home to make a an impression on the senses. Our home has a country feeling while being an eight minute walk to Hudson shops, restaurants and bars, and a quick drive to many other towns and sites. I have created an Airbnb that is full of the comforts I love: beautiful colors, alluring art, a great kitchen to cook in, cozy comfortable bedrooms with lots of pillows and fine linens, an exciting library, and luxurious bathrooms. These are the things I love to find when I travel, and I know you will love them too. I spent nearly a year remodeling and restoring my Hudson home. The house is from 1910 and is a beautiful wooden country home. The light coming through the hundred year old liquid glass windows is ethereal. The original wooden floors and moldings throughout are warm and comforting. The bedrooms are quiet and extremely comfortable. The views of trees in back and the old stone house next to us, and view of the Catskills are enchanting. Hanging out on the back deck is a great pleasure and the sunsets are amazing. I mixed all of the interior colors for the walls and ceilings myself in order to highlight the stupendous light of the Hudson region. For this I took a lot of inspiration from Olana, a must visit site just a 15 minute drive away. Come to Hudson and enjoy the wonders of this home and the Hudson River Valley!
