Hudson, Ohio is a charming community with historic homes, a tree-line main street with unique shops, and it is home to Western Reserve Academy, a private co-ed college prep school. The J. B. King Guest House is the only option for those who want to stay in Hudson and it is a great option.
The Guest House offers a unique bed and breakfast experience. The house is on the Ohio State Historical Preservation and one of the Hudson homes designated as historical and cultural assets. The home was awarded the HH (Hudson Heritage) marker in 1980 authenticating its construction date and history.
The innkeepers have created an environment that is charming, comfortable and convenient. Built in 1873 and named for its original owner the guest house features a pair of carved Italian marble fireplaces, original wood plank floors, wedding cake style plaster cornices, and 10-foot ceilings. The home has many distinction furnishings from Stickley chairs to Tiffany lamps.
Guest Rooms all have private modern bathrooms, a select comfort sleep system™ with premium bedding & linens, cable TV & VCR. The Guest House features complimentary free wireless high speed internet access. Guests may also enjoy the use of complimentary bathrobes, hair dryers, and English toiletries. The Jeremiah B. King Guest House is truly a wonderful place to stay, bursting with character & charm, and a most convenient location.
The innkeeper, Ms. Ren, and, her husband, Mr. Doug, retired from their original occupation to take up their new “hobby.” Both are natural story tellers and they have many stories to tell. Breakfast, often a multi-cultural affair, is an unforgettable experience as stories are shared and new friends made. For more information log on to http://kingguesthouse.com.
Albergo Allegria is a B&B that is in reality a boutique inn with all the modern amenities one comes to expect from a fine hotel. Albergo Allegria is aptly named; it means “Inn of Happiness” in Italian. The Inn is located in Greene County’s beautiful Catskill Mountains just south of Albany and less than three hours from New York City.
The Italianate house has several accommodations plus a community sitting room, and the breakfast room with other rooms located in the adjacent Carriage House. Each accommodation is unique but we preferred Chamomile Corners # 21 which is located in a building referred to as the
Carriage House. The room has its own private entrance, king size bed, mini-refrigerator, and a whirlpool for two. There is a gas-log fireplace but we enjoyed sitting on our private porch sipping wine while watching the evening arrive. Should it rain or snow there are many CDs to borrow. When the weather is balmy enjoy s’more around the fire pit.
We did raid their guest pantry where there was always coffee, soda, and yummy homemade cookies. Their breakfast is legendary with fresh-ground coffee, homemade muffins, bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fresh fruit. Each morning features a breakfast special. There are bikes for guest to use, a deck overlooking the stream where one can go creek stomping, (or tubing when the water is high enough) along with a variety of activities nearby. It is open year round. We wanted to stay longer. For more information log on to albergousa.com.
