This place is beautiful! I've stayed in many places and this one hit all the marks. Roomy, comfortable furniture, comfortable beds, very clean, and in a beautiful setting. Large kitchen to cook and prepare meals and not get in any ones way. Plenty of dishes, pans and baking sheets to prepare meals. Plenty of room for parking. Communication with the host was great as well! Highly recommend it!

Great stay close to river!

Very nice accommodations, everything is new. Plenty of room inside and out especially for our dogs who are still resting from 4 days of running around fence-free. The river and trails were the highlight for 3 teenagers, would love to come back in the summer.

Cozy and Comfortable

This place is perfect. Willow River State Park is literally in the backyard which made snowshoeing a breeze. Bed was super comfy and the house was clean and nicely decorated. Plus, games and puzzles galore in the basement to keep us entertained:)

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I bought this property and the land around it because of the serene beauty and access to Willow River. We intend to build on an adjacent lot in the next several years. Once you step onto the property and walk amongst the giant oak trees, you will feel the peace of privacy and nature in your bones.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for the proximity to downtown Hudson while maintaining privacy.

What makes this property unique

We have all new furniture, beds with quality mattresses, flooring, countertops, bathrooms and linens. We have traveled the world using VRBO and understand what it means to be good hosts. Everything you need will be right where it is supposed to be.
