Ellen was super sweet and showed us everything we needed for our stay. She also gave us lots of information about the town… where to eat, things to see and do. Great Host!!

I booked this property for a girls trip to Hudson. Prior to our visit, Ellen provided a detailed outline of recommendations ranging from tours, to restaurants, to the best places to go for a swim. It really helped in our planning as this was our first time to the town. Upon arrival, she showed us around the property which is stunning. Every piece of artwork has a story and the backyard garden had hummingbirds to welcome us! The rooms themselves were spacious and was more than enough space for 3 women. The kitchen had every gadget and pot/pan you would need to cook a feast with dishes to spare. The bathroom had a lovely tub/shower with the softest towels, and plenty of shampoo, conditioner, and soaps. I’ve stayed in other VRBOs which are so minimally stocked, but not this place. She really went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Additionally, the home was spotless. The beds were very comfortable with real furniture, not the cheap IKEA furniture some short term rentals will offer. The photos do show the beauty of the place, but really the amenities and high quality comfort of the furniture ensured a great stay. And last but not least, it’s a block away from the main shopping/restaurant area- Warren Street. So once you park your car, you won’t need it again until you’re ready to head home. You can easily walk to all the best spots in town. It was a great time and for anyone thinking about where to stay in Hudson….. go visit Ellen and this beautiful home. You won’t be disappointed!

What a delight. If you are drawn to the photos...you will love this beautiful home. Impeccably clean. Ellen was completely available at all times. The most kind intelligent host I've yet to meet. It is walking distance from all fun restaurants, bars, shopping. Lovely neighborhood. Plan to go back ,seasonally, from now on . Very relaxing and delightful re-set for me and my husband. Thank you, wonderful Ellen. Suzanne and Greg Kraus/Wrobel

We had a wonderful experience staying at Ellen’s lovely home. She met us at the door and welcomed us with a tour of the home and great information about Hudson. The home is spotless with plenty of fluffy white towels and literally everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Such a lovely experience!

My friend and I reserved a weekend in November for a weekend getaway to catch up on some reading and writing. We had to reschedule for personal reasons and Ellen was super accommodating, walking us through the process of re-booking. We ended up staying at Ellen's property in late February and it couldn't have been better! Ellen met me and explained the neighborhood, the apartment and had useful suggestions about restaurants and grocery stores. The apartment was clean and cozy, with a fully stocked kitchen. I am sorry that we didn't plan to cook that much that weekend and will definitely do that when I return! My friend and I did not have a car and had planned to stick close to the town. There was still plenty for us to do and amazing restaurants for each evening. I imagine if you had a car you could explore the surrounding area a bit more. But getting to/from the Amtrak station was an easy walk even with light luggage. All in all the apartment in Hudson was perfect and Ellen was an amazing host! I am definitely heading back!

Ellen is a great host. She gave us a great tour and also had a lot of nice recommendations. I highly recommend the Blue Skies to anyone visiting Hudson. Or maybe I shouldn't, so that we can have it all to ourselves. Seriously a great place.

This property is completely charming, bright, airy, and beautifully furnished. It is kept in immaculate condition by the nice lady who owns it, and is filled with an eclectic assortment of art, antiques, and other cool stuff. Ellen couldn't be nicer. It was a great location close to everything, but a little off the busy main drag in Hudson. I give it a solid 5 gold stars.

Ellen is awesome. She was flexible on our arrival time and walked us through the lovely apartment. It is a perfect set up in a great location. We were more than comfortable with our one year old daughter and will definitely be back again.
