Plus, Hudson has plenty of everything – charm, friendly locals, vintage stores and incredible restaurants.

Airbnbs in Hudson: Know Before You Book

Warren is the main street in Hudson, where nearly all the restaurants, shops, bakeries and cafes are located. Most of the town’s pricier hotels can be found directly on Warren Street while Hudson’s airbnbs are often tucked one or two streets away.

Since Hudson is known for its gorgeous old buildings and beautiful architecture, staying in a renovated historic home via airbnb can be a treat!

Parking

Chances are, you’re driving a car to visit the Hudson Valley region. Most airbnbs are located on a quiet side street, with street parking available.

Great for Couples and Groups

There’s a great range of Airbnb options in Hudson, no matter the size of your group. You can find everything from spare rooms to full floor apartments and entire homes!

Pack Light

Even the hotels in Hudson rarely have elevators. Airbnbs often have stairs so try to pack light, or consider a duffel bag or light and flexible carry on suitcase.

Day Trips

Hudson is in a great location, with lots to see and do nearby. Consider staying in Hudson for a couple nights (since there’s great restaurants and shopping in town) and doing day trips to nearby places like Art Omi Sculpture Park, a local orchard or vineyard.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget the Hudson Valley is a short trip away from NYC! Enjoy your trip :)

Visiting NYC – Travel Checklist

Road Trips | There’s so much to see and do in Upstate New York, but one thing you need is a car. I recommend taking a road trip in Spring and Summer, or in early Fall to see the leaves change.

Hertz and Sixt offer affordable car rentals from New York City. You can also price compare on Auto Europe, an aggregator that pulls rental rates from all the car rental companies. Check rental car rates for Hudson Valley here.

Accommodation | Upstate New York has tons of hotel options – from luxurious Gilded Age getaways to romantic b&bs and quaint inns. In peak season, book hotels in advance to save, or check here for last minute deals.

If you have a group of people or want to stay in the countryside, rent a house on Airbnb. It’s especially great if you want to hike and don’t mind being a little farther from town!

Insurance | Lastly, be sure to visit Upstate New York with travel insurance. Whether you get injured and need to be hospitalized, or your phone gets stolen, travel insurance will help when you need it most. Get a quote for your trip here.
