Welcome to Hudson Homestead. Not just a house, but an experience! Live your farm dreams in the city on this private, peaceful 1.5 acre oasis w/NO PET RESTRICTIONS. Wake up to collect fresh eggs for breakfast from our coop and make a drink with a fully stocked coffee/tea/juice bar, drink it while rocking on the porch. Bring your pets & take a hike on the trails or head to Falls Lake for family fun. Finish your day relaxing by the firepit, grilling on the patio or taking a dip in the hot tub.
You will find a plethora of well though out amenities in our gorgeous wooded property. Watch the sun set through the trees as you sip a drink on the porch rockers, or the hot tub, or hammock or garden swing. So many areas to enjoy!
PLEASE READ THE LISTING ENTIRELY FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING.
Vacations should be about relaxing, not chores. You won't have a to-do list and a million rules.

NO PET RESTRICTIONS, bring your dog, cat, bird, gecko, goat, horse, cow etc. (for any animal other than dog or cat, contact Host first for approval and accommodations.

-This is a wooded lot with a bustling ecosystem and there is a reasonable expectation of wildlife on the property. The inside of the home and the porches are sprayed for pests bi-weekly and are typically clear, however, the rest of the yard uses only natural repellents. This is to protect pollinators and keep our chickens (who feast on the bugs) and their eggs free of any toxins. We treasure and respect the natural life on the property and ask you do the same. If an additional spraying is needed inside the home please advise. No refunds or credits will be offered due to naturally occurring creatures.
