Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Property / Great Location This property was beautiful and tranquil. It was centrally located and had easy access to stores and major roads. Inside the home was well beautifully decorated and well appointed. All the amenities we need for a weeks stay was available in the house. I enjoyed the coffee bar. My kids really enjoyed taking care of the chickens and checking for eggs daily. Our host was very responsive and provided timely communications. This made for a memorable visit and exceeded our expectations. We plan on returning for another stay early next year. ##### Howard W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney P. Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Five Stars for Hudson Homestead Our family’s stay at the Hudson Homestead exceeded all expectations! We booked a weekend getaway to celebrate our son’s 12th birthday and spend time at Fantasy Lake Adventure Park, and we couldn’t have picked a better home. The house was spotless, incredibly cozy, and charmingly decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. The hosts even left a few surprises for us, which we truly appreciated - it made the experience feel that much more special.One of our favorite perks was the fresh eggs from the chickens each morning. Our dogs also had the best time running freely around the fenced in spacious backyard, which was perfect while we relaxed.After a full day of activity at the Adventure Park, relaxing in the hot tub under the warm glow of the outdoor lights was exactly what we needed. It was the perfect way to unwind and end the evening. My youngest even told us that this was his “favorite vacation house ever."We’re already hoping to make this an annual tradition, and if we do, there’s no doubt we’ll be staying at the Hudson Homestead again! ##### Courtney P.
