The kitchen was adequately equipped, but there were no extras to support cooking on the premises such as spices, tin foil, etc. Hand soap was available in the bathrooms, but no shampoo or bodywash / body soap was provided. I don't usually travel with soap for showering so that was problematic.Some areas of the home were in disrepair. One kitchen cupboard door was unhinged, ceiling cut out of one bathroom to access plumbing and sawdust continually fell from this hole landing on the bathroom sink and counter. One post for the hand rail exiting the front door was loose. The floor plan and bedroom configuration was nice and comfortable. It is definitely a country home. Very quiet. About a 15 minute drive into Hudson. Fire pit was lovely. In all, we enjoyed our stay.

Property is over-represented on VRBO. House is not maintained and was significantly under supplied with cookware and linens. No extra blankets, pillows or towels. 6 of us stayed for 4 nights. A total of 8 towels were provided for 6 women. We got to wash towels every night so we had clean ones for the next day, yet remained smelling of mildew. Large hole cut out of downstairs bathroom ceiling exposing plumbing, and ceiling cracked and bowed over shower. Owners response was that an accident occurred last year with an upstairs bathroom which is why they needed to access the plumbing downstairs. Still not sure why there remains a 4x3 foot hole 9 months after said incident. Mattresses on ALL beds were covered with a plastic sheet typically used for children’s beds in bedwetting situations. Owners response was the county requires mattress coverings. Mattress pads, yes. Plastic sheets - NO. Horribly uncomfortable. I’m honestly not sure how this house passes any said “inspections” or is eligible under VRBO standards. Several other issues identified but not going to continue with complaints. Definitely not worth what we paid and very disappointed.
Large hole in downstairs bathroom ceiling
Trim strip missing from step - tripping hazard
Remaining ceiling cracked and bowing in downstairs bathroom as well. Very unstable.

Girls' weekend

The house was spacious and the location private and fairly quiet. The host left treats for us and a note with information regarding our stay. Having four bedrooms and three baths was great! Temp of house was cool. It would be nice to have enough matching dishes/glasses for 8. It would also be nice to have a table/chairs where all 8 can gather around. The cookware needs replacing. Some basic upkeep is needed inside/outside, but overall it was fine.

This home in Hudson was easy to get to but yet still in the country. It was close to our family’s wedding venue in Somerset and also the rehearsal dinner venue in Stillwater. The house had enough space for our family’s to have some space of their own. We saw deer and even a black bear on the property! Loved being tucked away in nature even though you are still in a large yard’s neighborhood. The hosts were very thoughtful and had fresh muffins upon arrival and coffee supplies. They also allowed us to enter the home early as I had my elderly mother with us who needed her rest before the rehearsal dinner which was very much appreciated! If anyone is traveling with little ones, they were decked out with lots of supplies like a portable crib, high chair, bouncy seat for infants, and even a bassinet for newborns. I would say the only reason that I’m not rating it a five star is because the home itself was in need of some TLC. The cabinets in the kitchen felt like they were coming off the hinges on some of them, there was a large hole in the bathroom ceiling downstairs, the water dispenser in the refrigerator wasn’t working, there was a large stain on the sectional couch, and the towels were really rough (but may have just been due to hard water). Overall, it was the size of the home that we enjoyed with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and the nature and proximity to our events.

The kitchen lacked several items but luckily we came prepared because we knew we were planning on eating together. The towels were a little rough, however they were thick towels. Lots of space in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. The house was nice and clean. Disappointed that it had a fireplace, but a note hung on it saying not to use it. (It was below freezing outside and had snowed.)

We were in contact before the stay and the owner was so very helpful! The property was very clean and larger enough for our group! There were plenty of supplies in the kitchen that we were able to make all of our meals for the weekend. The toys supplied for the kiddos were great, giving them plenty to do!

Greeted with muffins and fresh flowers! We had a small girls weekend and there was more than enough room for everyone. Lots of towels and extra blankets. We had reservations in both New Richmond and Hudson, the drive time between both was maybe 10 minutes from the house so VERY convenient location! Would definitely stay here again.

Great Getaway!

We had a great friend’s weekend celebrating a friend who’s getting married! Great open space for games and hanging out and just close enough to get into Stillwater to explore! The only thing that would’ve been nice and didn’t really impact our experience was having towels out in the bathrooms ready for us to use. We had to search for them initially.

A nice remote location for a fun golf trip for 8. Host communicated well with us, and the updated basement is nice. Good location to some solid golf courses and restaurants in the Hudson and Stillwater area. Good space to play games as well, and the TV was a nice touch to watch just about anything. I would stay there again!

Nice location and clean but the house is very cheaply built

3 of us stayed and the property is clean and well maintained. The house it's self appears to be a few years old and was cheaply built. You can here people in the next room and bathrooms are kind of strange. We would certainly stay again.

Perfect space for a girls weekend

We had a lovely time. The house was comfortable and perfect for spending time in the kitchen and visiting with friends. The only complaint was the kitchen was pretty sparse, having some extra conveniences such as baking sheets, wine glasses, plastic wrap and tin foil would have be really nice. Also the kitchen faucet sprays all over the place which was annoying, but not the end of the world.

Lovely home, muffins, fresh flowers and chocolates on the bed is a nice touch. Lighting in most rooms, especially bedrooms is not bright enough to read bedside. We had problems getting in but owner was on it within minutes. I would recommend it as a comfortable option for the proximity to Hudson (great downtown area) and Stillwater.
