T&K: We thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. Since we strive to provide 5-Star experiences for all of our guests any feedback you would like to share with us would be much appreciated.

Wonderful B&B with superb breakfast. My only concern is that it was a hot weekend in Mayand I don't think the rooms had air conditioning.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the review. We're so glad you enjoyed the breakfast. From what we could tell from the weather forecast it was not going to be that warm during your stay. We felt the window screens to provide fresh air and fans would suffice and apologize if you were uncomfortable in any way. We will be putting our window a/c units back into each room this week. These units allow each guest to control the individual temperature of their own room. Had you let us know you were warm we would have installed the unit in your room immediately. Again, please accept our apologies and thank you for both the feedback and for staying with us at The Croff House.

Loved the Inn keepers. Had a great time, comfortable bed and beautiful bathrooms.

Thanks so much! Short and to the point!

I've stayed in bed-and-breakfasts all over Europe and in other American cities, but I must say that my experience at The Croff house topped them all. The rooms are just beautiful, with great care given to guests' comfort, from the high-thread-count sheets to the complementary amenities in the bathrooms. I did not expect a hearty breakfast -- I'm used to having some toast and granola thrown my way -- but Russ and Duncan provided a delicious 3-course breakfast that set me up until dinner! They are the consummate hosts, and I cannot recommend their establishment more highly. (The first thing I did when I got back home? I made reservations for next time!) - Julie in NYC

J: What a sensational review - thanks a million! It was so wonderful having you stay with us and are glad that you were able to take advantage of so much The Croff House has to offer as well as sampling so much of what makes Hudson such a fantastic destination. We look forward to seeing you (and D) back again this summer. Until then, be well, and thanks so much!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We recently had our second visit to the Croff House and had a thoroughly wonderful time. It's by far the BEST bed and breakfast I've ever stayed in. Russ and Duncan are fantastic hosts. The breakfasts aren't your typical quick meal, but rather a full three courses, all made fresh. The breakfast consists of: 1. pastry, 2. yogurt and fruit, 3. entree with side. They are all carefully balanced out, so if the entree is sweet (eg, pancakes with a vanilla raspberry sauce) then the pastry is savory (eg, parmesan muffin), or if the entree is savory (eg, southwest egg fritada) then the pastry is sweet (eg, cinnamon, brown sugar muffin). Unlimited orange juice, coffee, and tea are also included. For the tea, they offer a very wide assortment of Harney & Sons, which is much appreciated and fantastic. The accommodations are very comfortable and quiet. The house is beautiful. We stayed in the Chace Suite, so got to use it's deluxe tub, which was extremely relaxing. Every day we spent a little time in the large, yet cozy common areas reading. Russ would always have the makings of a fire ready in both fireplaces. if he was around when we sat down, he'd immediately get one started. The location is very convenient to the downtown Hudson area. It's a quick and interesting walk, with the advantage of the seclusion of Willard Place. We will be coming back.

I am happy to share my extremely satisfactory experience in staying at the Croff House B&B on Saturday 1/21/12. Not only is the house beautifully decorated in keeping with the style of the "period" home, the hosts are very kind and quite gracious. Add to that, they cook a "chef" style full hot breakfast that will have you thinking you are in one of the many wonderful Hudson restaurants nearby. We would definitely stay at the Croff House again! (Note: Duncan and Russ - Thank you for your kindness during our stay)....

T&J: Thank you so much for writing such a glowing review. It was wonderful having you stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Until then best wishes and thank you.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

My husband and I go to a lot of B&B's and this was easily one of the best. An easy trip from the NYC area, even easier from Westchester, we arrived to find a beautifully redone home with fabulous amenities. Though we had the smallest room, the Edmonds, it was perfect and had the most comfy bed ever. The sense of care taken to make everything perfect was impossible to miss. The inn is immaculately clean. Turn down service included a note about the weather for the following day and a scented candle and matches with a note to take it home to remember our stay. How sweet! While the inn is a tad chilly for me, kept at 67, I fully understand why. 12 foot (or so) ceilings must make it extremely hard to keep warm but electric heaters are in each room and ours was toasty in minutes. The fireplaces in the common rooms are ready to go at any time. Seriously, I cannot think of one things Russ and Duncan didn't think of. I forgot my make up remover and found make up remover clothes in the hospitality kit in the bathroom, along with some lovely high end toiletries. Give me high thread count sheets, pricey toiletries and a firm, yet soft, bed and I am in heaven. Breakfast! What a treat. I was presented with a gluten-free muffin and I know another guest, who was lactose intolerant, had her dietaries needs attended to as well. What service! And all with a smile. From the muffin, to pineapple over yogurt with crystalized ginger to a delicious omelette with potatoes, everything was superb. Even the crash of their instant hot water heater was treated quickly and professionally. The switch over to the old system was accomplished and we had hot water right after breakfast. These guys are on TOP of their game. Professional, courteous, welcoming and they have the good taste to live in a to-die-for Victorian next door. So, if you're thinking of a trip in Columbia County, choosing Hudson and Croff House will more than satisfy even the pickiest traveler.

L&J: What and amazing review! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We're so thrilled you enjoyed yourselves so much. It makes us happy to know that all we do and all we provide our guests is recognized and appreciated. Glad the space heater in the room kept you comfy and cozy, too. Hopefully next time you can make it a longer visit. Until then our sincerest thanks and appreciation for such a stellar review!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

The Croff House is the perfect mix between professional and personable. Exactly what you are looking for when you choose to stay at a bed and breakfast. Duncan and Russ are very warm and make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. And the breakfast is outstanding!

Please don't hesitate to contact us at the inn with any feedback you may have. We look forward to seeing you again soon and wish you all the best in 2012. Again, many thanks.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

My partner and I wanted to celebrate our 25th someplace special and The Croff House was just the ticket. We loved the suite, with plush seating, fireplace, super comfortable bed, and the best shower ever. There were fabulous common rooms available for the guests, as well. The breakfasts were divine, and the owners were cheerful and attentive. Hudson was fun to visit, and we easily walked to shops, galleries, and restaurants from our home base. Highly recommended!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
N&A: What an excellent review - thanks so much! We're so happy that the inn met all of your needs and that you enjoyed all of the services and amenities we provide. Hudson is a terrific town and we're glad you had the chance to enjoy the performance at Helsinki. We look forward to seeing you both back soon. Again, Happy Anniversary!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Russ and Duncan's love for the Croff House is felt from the moment you walk in th door. We were welcomed in as we arrived and given excellent recommendations for dinner. Our room was so comfortable, and the fire was a nice surprise. A very modern bathroom with top notch amenities. Breakfast is worth a stay in itself! A wonderful start to the day- a homemade muffin, fresh fruit & homemade waffles. Russ and Duncan are a delight. I'm trying to figure out when to plan my next visit!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
S&T: What a sensational review! Thanks SO much. We appreciate not only your taking the time to share your experience with future guests but for the wonderful praise and appreciate of all that we have to offer here at The Croff House. It was great to see the fires roaring again. We hope to have you back again soon, so until then be well!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We had a lovely time in this uber clean, sophisticated and surprisingly quiet B&B. Sometimes in an old house you can hear your neighbors and are afraid to make a peep - not so here, they've soundproofed! It was the perfect place to celebrate my husband's birthday. Every detail was considered, and every comfort arranged for. The bathroom was modern and spacious, and the large breakfast was absolutely delicious! Just a short walk to great dining at Swoon or DaBa - both absolutely top notch. Also swallow coffee bar had terrific coffee. Russ took great care of us! Thanks to Russ and the Croff House, we will certainly be back.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
M&A: WOW! What more can we say other than THANK YOU! We are so glad you chose The Croff House to celebrate Andrew's birthday and hope that it was both enjoyable and memorable (which based on your review...it was!). It's wonderful that you were able to experience a lot of what the inn and Hudson has to offer. We look forward to having you back again soon, certainly before another birthday : )! Until then thanks a million!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Russ and Duncan were fantastic. Their attention to detail and welcoming attitude was amazing. I wish we had more time and more money to stay for longer.

Thanks for taking the time to write such a terrific review! We always strive to provide our guests with a 5-star experience, so hopefully when you have more time you can return for a longer visit and we can earn that 5th star. Until next time, we well and thank you.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

This place is wonderful. I have stayed here twice for four and five days at a time because I had to be in Hudson for a conference. I couldn't have been more pleased and wouldn't stay anywhere else now. Russ and Duncan have really thought of everything; from the extra comfy beds with pristine bedding to the toothpaste, writing pads and umbrellas for rain. The house is roomy and feels like there is plenty of privacy. Russ and Duncan (mostly Russ) are around just enough but very are available for problems and concerns. My cousin, who was traveling with me, had dietary limitations which Russ did his best to accomodate. At the end of my stay, Duncan took me to the train station. I loved it. I will go back.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
J: Wow! What a sensational review! Thanks so much! It was great having you and Diana back with us for your conference. We so enjoy receiving reviews where guests mention all the "little touches" we include throughout the inn to make our guests' stay special. While we understand the conference isn't being held again next year we still hope to see you back again soon. Until then many thanks!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Croff House and Russ Gibson the host were a great pair. My only observation is that the rails with the fronts steps were unusable. Keith Grover

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
K: What a stellar review! Thanks a million. As for the rails on the front steps we had considered having them raised but determined it would change the look of the front of the house and would most likely not be approved by Hudson's Historic Preservation Commission. We apologize if it caused you any inconvenience otherwise. We hope to see you again the next time you are "back East". Cheers!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We stayed for one night in the Peck room, and it was lovely. Russ was a wonderful host and we really enjoyed all the little touches (hand-made candle to take home and weather forecast for the next day at turn-down, pre-stamped postcards, well-stocked bathroom) as well as the delicious breakfast and excellent shower.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
A&B: Thanks for the awesome review! We're so happy you enjoyed your stay (albeit short) with us. It always makes us feel good when guests appreciate the attention to detail and amenities we offer and thank you for recognizing them in your comments. We hope you will be back to stay with us again soon. Until then, much thanks and appreciation.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

The owners of this B&B are very gracious hosts and strive to make your experience as good as possible. The public spaces are well done and inviting. Our room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was good. The building is a beautifully restored/maintained building within walking distance of Hudson's restaurants and shops. Good place to stay while visiting the Hudson area.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the terrific review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and that you were able to take advantage of all the inn and Hudson has to offer. We look forward to seeing you back again soon. Again, thanks so much.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We stayed in the Peck room, which was smaller but had an amazing bathroom. Really enjoyed the small touches like the weather card on the bedside table, the free candle, and complete lack of doilies. Breakfast was great and well presented. So many loose leaf tea selections!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the stellar review. Being The Croff House (yes, a doily-free property) was originally built in the 1870's some of the guest rooms are somewhat smaller than others, making for a cozy night's sleep. Glad you enjoyed the bathroom as well as all the other amenities we provide our guests. Harney and Sons makes such wonderful teas it was hard for us to narrow them down to 22, and even with that we had to eliminate some. We hope you will come back again soon and thank you again for the wonderful review.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

The Croff House and its gardens were absolutely beautiful. The owners were wonderful and friendly. The food was just excellent. I don't even know what else I could say! We highly recommend any visiting the area to stay here.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
C&J: Thanks so much for the terrific review! We so enjoy having guests such as yourselves who appreciate all the inn has to offer and the amenities we provide our guests. We hope that you will come back for a visit again soon. Until then much appreciation and thanks!

The Croff House was a great honeymoon getaway. The inn and the town of Hudson were everything we were looking for...quiet and quaint, yet filled with culture. Thanks to Duncan and Russ for a fantastic stay. Hope to come back soon!

H&C: It was truly and honor to have you spend your honeymoon with us! We're thank you so much for the phenomenal review, including all that the inn and Hudson has to offer. We can't wait to see you back again. Best wishes on your new life together!

Duncan the innkeeper went out of his way to meet our needs. The house is beautiful and the breakfast was good. Housekeeping could be improved upon.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We're very disappointed with this review, striving always to provide the same level of 5 Star service so many previous guests have reviewed us on. Good for us is not good enough and any comment about the cleanliness is truly a concern (and a first) for us. We would appreciate any feedback you might have and encourage you to call us at the inn at your earliest convenience. We thank you for your candor and look forward to hearing from you.

Until next time, be well.

Our stay at the Croff House was very enjoyable and relaxing. The proprietors are very attentive and friendly. We were directed to some excellent restaurants and places of interest.

I recently stayed at The Croff House for 2 nights while in Hudson to attend an event. It's location is perfect. It's on a quiet street but within a few blocks from fantastic restaurants, shops and art galleries. I was greeted very warmly and made to feel right at home. My room was decorated beautifully by someone who really has skill. The bathroom was luxurious and the shower was the largest I've ever used. Finally, I knew I'd picked the right place when I returned from my day of exploring Hudson to smell fresh Snickerdoodles right out of the oven. Delicious!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the sensational review! We're thrilled you had such a great time at The Croff House and were able to enjoy all the services and amenities we offer. Snickerdoodles are one of D's specialties and you really seemed to have found them tasty. We look forward to seeing you back again soon. Thank you, so much, again.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We had an excellent time at The Croff House. The hospitality by Russ and Duncan was beyond compare. The breakfast was amazing and a real "not to be missed" experience. We loved our stay so much that we made reservations for our entire family for a future stay. We can't wait to return. Cindy and Dennis Smith

C&D: Such a superlative review, we thank you so much! It was such a pleasure having you both stay with us after your attending your daughter's opera performance. We thrilled that you enjoyed yourselves so much that we will be celebrating the New Year with you and your family. We'll do our best to make the start of 2012 memorable for you all. Until then, all the best!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

This was our second stay at The Croff House, and we were just as delighted with our experience this time as we were two years ago. It was such a pleasure to return and have it feel familiar and, in anticipation of our visit, know what luxuries and comfort we would have in store. The house is beautiful, the breakfast is fantastic, and Duncan and Russ are lovely. You can't find a nicer place to stay.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
T&S: It was so wonderful seeing you both again. As I've said previously the best indication for us that we are doing things that make our guests' experience special is a return visit. So having you back made us feel that you had such a fantastic experience with us before that you returned again, for which we thank you immensely. Until next time...

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Terrific B&B, chiefly due to the personal attention from Russ, the owner. Great room, excellent location, phenomenal breakfasts.

For our second trip to Hudson, NY, my husband and I decided to return to Croff House. Not only do we love the comfy, cozy AND modern feeling of the place, we love the two proprietors - and their cooking.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks so much for the wonderful review. One of highest compliments a guest can pay us is to return to the inn, showing us they enjoyed themselves and wanted to experience all we have to offer again. We were so glad to have you back and look forward to seeing you again soon. Until then, again, much thanks.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

It's hard to put into words exactly how wonderful our stay was at the Croff House. Russ and Duncan were so welcoming, not to mention so genuinely kind, that it didn't take us long to feel completely at home and totally relaxed. The house is spectacularly restored, and our room was impeccably clean. Russ's breakfast made our (rather expensive) dinner from the night before look like back-of-the-fridge leftovers. Simply put, if you choose to stay anywhere else in Hudson, you are making the wrong choice.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
OMG - such a phenomenal review leaves us at a loss for a response other than a simple (and very heartfelt) Thank You. We're thrilled you had such an awesome time during your stay with us and we're so happy that all of our services and amenities exceeded your expectations so greatly. There are so many wonderful inns in Hudson, but it seems what we've created hit the mark for you. Again, much thanks and appreciation until next time!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We stayed one night (Thursday) in Croff House. Two seeks prior to our stay we received an email that we were upgraded to a more expensive room. The old house was beautifully restaured and decorated. Hosts Russ and Duncan were friendly, but wanted to give us privacy. They live in the house next door, leaving the Croff House to guests to enjoy, but they were still available if needed. Our room was beautiful, lovely bed and wonderful bathroom with both big bath tub and high tech shower. Breakfast was delicious; blueberry muffin, cantaloupe salad with candied ginger and sausage with scrambled eggs. Every detail was carefully planned from hand poured candles in rooms to bathroom amenities. We would love to come back some day.

I searched the internet for a great place to stay when we went to the wedding of a good friend's daughter. Found the Croff House and then 2 of our friends also decided to stay. Russ and Duncan made the 6 of us feel so welcome! And we were amazed how quickly they remembered which of us was which and who was married to whom! We all loved our rooms. My husband and I stayed in the Edmunds room downstairs... maybe a little smaller than the others, but so light and bright, and a bathroom to die for! Our favorite thing was to sit out on the back porch, listening to the fountain trickle, and feeling the cool breeze. It was so comfortable there, that we could hardly remember how hot and humid it was in the sun! And the breakfasts... oh the breakfasts! Who needs lunch when the breakfast is such a feast??! Thanks again Russ and Duncan!

B&J: What a fun weekend it was and what an awesome review! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments and taking the time to share your comments with others. The Edmonds is our smallest guest room but, as you mentioned, it has become many guests favorite private retreat. It was so much fun having you all stay with us and look forward to seeing you back (so we can earn that coveted 5th star!). Until then, many thanks!

We loved everything about our stay at the Croff House. The inn is incredibly charming and romantic, and has been carefully and meticulously renovated. The décor is warm, modern and all rooms are beautifully decorated. We stayed in the large Esselstyn Suite, which is light and bright with a fabulous bed and even more fabulous bathroom. We especially loved the over-sized soaking tub (bath salts provided) and comfy chaise lounge. The 3-course breakfasts were exceptional – and by far, the best we had on our tour of the Northeast (loved the homemade jams!). Special touches, such as nightly turn down, afternoon tea, and the wonderfully scented homemade candle to enjoy during our stay and then to take with us as a remembrance of our visit, were most welcomed. Having said all this, what really makes the Croff House so special are the owners-innkeepers themselves. Duncan and Russ are quite simply the best hosts you can imagine. They go out of their way to assist with dinner and sightseeing recommendations and anything else you might need. It is evident they have a passion for what they do, which results in an extremely warm, inviting and comfortable place to stay. We were already planning our return trip to the Croff House before we even left, and that speaks volumes about this inn, and why we consider it to be “the best of the best”.

We stayed at the Croff House in May for one night only on our trip through the Hudson Valley.

M&W: Thanks for the fantastic comments. Glad you made it back to Holland okay. We appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with other travelers and hope that the next time you visit your family you will once again stay with us at The Croff House.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

We stayed at the Croff House while attending a wedding in the Hudson area. Our room was spacious and comfortable with two chairs and a chaise. We had a huge closet for stowing all our gear -- no tripping over suitcases. The spa shower, king size bed and soaking tub added to the sense of luxurious ease. The Croff House porch, parlor and sitting room gave us plenty of room to relax and enjoy the company of our firends and family who were also staying in the area. Russ and Duncan met our every need and helped make the weekend picture perfect. From turndown service to breakfast to offering directions and making dinner reservations, Russ and Duncan graciously assisted us and made us feel at ease. Take home a copy of Russ' cookbook -- he shares several easy tips for making breakfast a special meal. It's a reminder of a delightful stay at the Croff House.

B&B: What a wonderful wedding weekend it was! We're so glad you chose to stay with us at The Croff House to celebrate the special weekend, and that all of our services and amenities helped you relax and enjoy the weekend even more, including having the opportunity to enjoy all that the inn and Hudson has to offer. We hope to have you all back again soon. Until then, thanks for the awesome review and be well.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Although I more often stay in hotels than B & B's, The Croff House was the best B & B experience I've ever had. From the warm welcome to the superb breakfasts, the lilac scented back porch, inviting common areas, and comfy room (Edmonds), everything was very enjoyable. The house is on a quiet street, in a neighborhood with other eye catching Victorian houses. Just a short walk from Hudson's Town Square and interesting Warren Street.

M: Thanks for the amazing review! We're so glad you were able to enjoy all the inn has to offer, both inside and out (what fantastic weather we had this weekend, too!). Thanks for being the great feedback on some new recipes - very happy you liked them all. So until next time, please accept our heartfelt thanks and we hope to see you again soon!

This was my husband and I first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and what an excellent choice! Duncan and Russ are absolutely the greatest hosts, the house is absolutely gorgeous, the town was great and the weather was perfect!

Until then, our sincerest thanks for such a super review.

My fiance and I recently stayed at The Croff House for a mini-getaway for her birthday. It was fantastic. Russ & Duncan are friendly, gracious & helpful hosts, and the inn is beautiful, comfortable & homey. Not to mention those yummy breakfasts every morning :). Hudson's also a great town with a lot of fun places to hang out out, and many fine restaurants. We will be back for sure! Loved it! John & Linda

J&L: We thank you so much for the phenomenal review! It was great having you stay with us and hope L's birthday weekend was memorable (based on your review it seems that it was!).

Until then, our best to you both.

An outstanding B&B. Spending our 40th anniversary at the Croff House was made even more joyful by the innkeepers Russ and Duncan. The Breakfasts were gourmet,the rooms lovely and the entire stay was a memorable one. Thanks for the thoughtful bottle of champagne and your suggestions for Dinner spots and points of interest.This was a wonderful choice for our 40th. We highly recommend Croff House for a great get away!

F&E: Thanks so much for the sensational review. We're so glad you chose The Croff House to celebrate such a milestone anniversary. You were both such wonderful guests with both a great sense of humor and adventure. It's great that you were able to enjoy Hudson as well as Columbia and Greene counties, especially your journey up into the mountains. We hope to see you back again soon (certainly before your 50th!) Until then many thanks and best wishes on your anniversary.

I would never stay anywhere else. This place is amazing. I took my girlfriend there for a weekend away from the city and it met every single need we had. Simply terrific.

Short and sweet! Thanks so much for taking the time to write about your stay with us. We very much appreciate it.

My girlfriend and I consider ourselves to be discriminating travelers. Before every trip, we scour tripadvisor and similar sites scrutinizing reviews in pursuit of a perfect getaway. Many times, we've arrived at a 5-star establishment only to be disappointed (how easily some people are pleased...?!?) We arrived at The Croff House for a one-night stay with our customary skepticism, and in a nutshell...we were blown away. The house is beautiful all around, from top to bottom. And where does it start and end? With Russ, who, quite plainly, seems to have been born for this role. The house is lovely, very well furnished and clean. The rooms are all refreshingly modern, with beautiful updated bathrooms, sleek furniture, and all the amenities (and then some) that one would expect from a 5-star chain hotel. And yet, all of it comes with the personalized doting of Russ, who genuinely seems to love what he does and infuses that passion into everything from the moment you arrive. Afternoon tea, restaurant recommendations, a delicious three-course breakfast (served, to your table, by the host himself), and a personalized goodbye at your car. If you're looking for a weekend getaway within easy driving distance from Manhattan or elsewhere, this is -- plain and simple -- the place to go. We will be back; that's for sure. And we can't wait for Russ's cookbook, to boot!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
A&C: Sometimes we get a review and we, quite frankly, are at a loss for words other than to simply say a heartfelt "Thank You". We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us (although it was too short) and are very happy that all of the special details and amenities we've thought of were appreciated. We both take immense pride in the services we provide and the personal touches we offer. We sincerely thank you for acknowledging our efforts. Again, please accept our sincerest thanks! Until next time, enjoy the warmer weather and be well.

We just returned from a three night stay at Croff House. While we travel a great deal we are often reminded of the word travel's relationship to travail. Wonderfully, this was absolutely not the case with The Croff House. This was our first visit to Hudson. From the moment we arrived Russ, one of the two innkeepers, was there with his smile and good humour as well as to ensure we were well taken care of. We stayed in the Chace Suite and it was, to risk a cliché, heavenly. The suite was roomy, the bed was very comfortable, the gas fireplace added warmth and a wonderfully comforting sound. The light was excellent from three windows on two sides of the room. Then there was the bathroom. Although this is a beautifully restored Second Empire home the bathroom boasts a luxurious top of the line clawfoot tub, large glassed in spa shower and beautiful sink along with thick, soft towels. A wonderful way to start or end each day. Finally, there was the service. Each morning Russ and Duncan served three course breakfasts that were gourmet quality, delicious and inventive. Each evening there would be tea and cookies from 4-5. And whenever we had a question they were available and happy to help. There is a telling difference between professionalism and true passion. Both Russ and Duncan fall into the latter category. We are looking forward to having the opportunity to return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
R&G: What a fantastic review. Thanks so much! We really enjoyed having you stay with us and are so pleased that you enjoyed all that the inn, Hudson and Columbia County have to offer. Guests such as yourselves who are so appreciative of all we do at The Croff House make our job that much more rewarding and enjoyable. We sincerely look forward to having you all back and truly thank you for such outstanding praise. Until next time, be well.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Duncan and Russ have created an outstanding B&B that combines the comfort of a meticulously restored Victorian home with 21st century amenities. They are wonderful hosts, with lots of reliable tips on how to enjoy this part of the Hudson Valley. The dazzling breakfasts each day are something you'd expect to find in a first-class restaurant. Highly recommended!

We thank you for the amazing review and sincerely appreciate your wonderful comments. Your praise not only for the breakfasts and the inn but for our recommendations is greatly appreciated and we're so happy to had such an outstanding weekend. We look forward to having you back again soon. Until then, many thanks!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

More like a small European hotel than a bed and breakfast, which, for us, is a huge positive. The public rooms are charming and cosy without being confining, good for reading the paper in the morning or a wee dram at night. Our room on the ground floor was cheerful and scrupulously clean. Breakfast was excellent, lemon muffin with a sugar crust, yogurt and strawberries with balsamic vinegar and an omelette. The innkeeper Russ is a lovely guy. We would (and will) return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
G&J: We thank you so much for the fantastic review and are glad you were able to enjoy all The Croff House has to offer even if only for a short stay. Your comparison of our property to a European hotel is extremely flattering, since many hold those places in such high esteem. We're also so pleased that you enjoyed your breakfast so much. Again, many thanks and we look forward to having you back again soon!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

The Croff House is a beautiful home that has been restored with beautiful details. Duncan and Bill have created a warm, clean and inviting home. Breakfast was fabulous, the bedroom was very comfortable and the shower was great! We were only there for one night and wish we were able to stay longer. I grew up visiting my grandparents in Hudson and it is wonderful to see the city being revived and these beautiful old homes being so taken cared of and loved. We hope to visit you again. Thank you, Lori and Nick

Thanks so much for the sensational review! We're so glad you enjoyed all the The Croff House has to offer and also wish you could have stayed longer. Hudson is certainly a vibrant, active city with thriving artistic, cultural, and dining elements that make a visit extremely worthwhile. Actually it usually takes most people several trips to take in all the city has to offer, which means you'll just have to come back! Until then, again, many thanks.

- Russ (innkeeper)

The charm and character of The Croff House embrace you like a warm hug. The rooms and bathrooms are just wonderful. The fireplaces create such a cozy atmosphere, you can't help but relax. The breakfasts were delicious and exceeded all expectations. Can't wait to return.

All we can say is "gee thanks" a million. Who doesn't love a nice, warm hug? We so love that description and are thrilled that that's how you felt about your visit with us. Cozy and relaxing aren't bad either. All the elements to make for a great weekend, and we're so pleased that was your experience. We look forward to having you back soon and will have another "hug" waiting for you!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Had a wonderful weekend at the Croff House. Duncan and Russ were both extremely friendly, gracious and helpful during our stay. Our room (The Chace Suite) was lovely and quiet. Tastefully decorated with small, thoughtful touches (bath salts for the tub, a card letting us know the weather forecast for the following day, a candle to take home to remember our stay). The TV in the room was a bit small, but I suppose that's not why you are heading to a bed and breakfast in the first place! Although the house was fully booked, we did not feel crowded or disturbed by the presence of the other guests. The common areas on the main floor were warm and comfortable with plenty of spots to relax and curl up with a good book. Would love to return to the Croff House in the future. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an easy weekend getaway from New York City.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for the great review! We're so pleased you had a memorable weekend at the inn and appreciated all the things we do to make a stay at The Croff House special. In addition to the AppleTV, iPod docking station and DirecTV in each room we thought more than a 32" HD flatscreen would overkill. As long as you had a great time and are looking to return is what matters to us. Until then many thanks again.

I had my second stay at The Croff House over New Years weekend and was looking forward to the excellent service, welcoming environment, and cozy atmosphere. I wasn't disappointed!

All the best in 2011.

The Croff House is an amazing place to stay for a quick getaway from NYC. The rooms are gorgeous and clean, and the hospitality is second to none.

I only wish we had more time to look around, learn the history of the inn, and spend in Hudson. Duncan and Russ take very good care of their guests. It's a lovely place, restored with historical care but not dripping with Victoriana and dollies.

Charm, convenience, comfort, excellent food, attentive hospitality, relaxation, relaxation & relaxation: who could ask for anything more? My wife and I have stayed in many B&B's and The Croff House was among the best in all respects. Russ and Duncan have achieved that delicate balance between being attentive to guest's needs while remaining unobtrusive. Breakfasts were simply extraordinary. The availability of wireless internet access as well as a wide-screen TV with many recent and current films to choose from added to the convenience of our stay. I really have no complaints about The Croff House and look forward to our next visit.

My husband & I went up to Hudson for a romantic birthday weekend getaway. We wanted to take a tour of Olana and check out the town of Hudson. We booked the Chace Suite at the Croff House Bed & Breakfast. The room was gorgeous and very well appointed from the comfortable bed to the most amazing spa shower to the flat-screen Apple TV. My husband couldn’t get over the fact that there was Apple TV in our room. Every morning our hosts Duncan and Russ served a delicious 3 course breakfast. We also loved the very comfortable sitting rooms on the main floor which we used in the mornings to read a magazine with a cup of coffee. The Croff House is walking distance to Warren Street, Hudson’s main street, and all of it’s shops and restaurants. The Croff House is one of the nicest B&B’s we have ever stayed in and we plan to go back again.

We stayed at the fabulous 18th Century "Croff House" in Hudson for 1 night (unfortunately). The B&B is fabulously furnished and decorated stylishly to a high standard with special attention to every detail. The bedroom we stayed in was the "Peck" which is spacious, beautifully decorated and includes very comfortable, elegant queen size wood bed. From the moment we went in we felt at home. Charming Russ, the owner, greet us very warmly as if he was waiting only for us and showed us around suggesting his assistance for may ever we might need. Right afterwards, before we even asked he advised us on where to eat, what to do and where to go in the area. We felt like as if we are visiting good friend that gave us the great feeling of being at home away from home! Breakfast was delicious accompanied by good friendly conversation. We have incredibly enjoyed staying at the Croff House and were sorry to leave wishing we would have been able to spend few more days there. We highly recommend staying at the Croff House when ever you plan to visit Hudson Valley. This is the perfect place for a romantic or a quiet leisurely getaway. Don't even think twice!

The house is a wonderful mix of beautiful Victorian "bones" and tasteful, more modern furnishings. Croff House is a perfect blend of sophistication (fabulous showers with 12 foot ceilings, incorporating stained glass; Apple tv, to name a few) and comfort (bolstered by Russ's hospitality). You really are made to feel "at home." If you're visiting Hudson, you must stay at the Croff House. Susan R

The owners are amazing and present for anything I might have needed; they were also personal, while very respectful of my space and vacation. The house has been redone beautifully, furniture and decoration warm and tasteful.

This is a real jewel! The innkeepers have spared no amount of effort to make staying here a special treat.

We had a fantastic weekend at The Croff House where Russell and Duncan, the owners, take care of every detail with an easy-going manner. I really liked that the interior decorating is not the typical cutesy B&B style. There's no floral print wallpaper or back issues of Knitting magazine. The bathroom and big soaking tub was amazing. Same goes for the comfy beds and outstanding sheets. Because Russ and Duncan live next door in another house, you don't feel like you have to tiptoe through someone else's house. But they're always at the ready with a great restaurant recommendation or a route for local wine tasting. I highly recommend Croff House for a one-night getaway, or a base for adventures in the Hudson Valley.

My wife and I stayed at the Croff House in Hudson, NY for two nights in mid-May 2010 with two other couples. We were celebrating 20 years of marriage and the proprietors, Duncan and Russ, made our stay enjoyable and memorable and were always attentive to our needs. They made us each feel special! The guest rooms are very comfortable and the service is first rate. We enjoyed the Victorian charm, comfortable beds, modern baths and gourmet breakfasts. Russ served a rich French toast with his homemade preserves and poached eggs with a mild basil pesto. The home's porches and elegant garden are wonderful places to sit, relax and sip champagne. This is a very special experience and the best B&B we have visited. We eagerly look forward to our next visit.

Duncan and Russ, the warm and gracious inn owners, made our 20th Wedding Anniversary celebration (3 couples all married in 1990) memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. From our initial contact to our parting good-byes Russ and Duncan were helpful, respectful and kind. We immediately felt "at home" in their lovely Victorian inn. Our rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The breakfasts delicious. Their attention to detail was evidenced throughout our stay and with parting gifts of a handcrafted candle (with matches), "stamped" postcards and inn notepad. The inn is within walking distance of Hudson's delightful main street area with wonderful shops and restaurants. The Hudson Valley also offers many historical sites - we especially enjoyed Eleanor Roosevelt's home and the FDR library. Duncan and Russ know how to treat their guests by just being who they are - delightful and kindhearted people. Thank you we hope to see you again, SOON!

We're glad you enjoyed the all aspects of inn and amenities, as well as Hudson and the Hudson Valley area. Somehow you had so much to do on your days with us that we were glad we could get you started off with a good breakfast (and lots of coffee : )). We look forward to having you all back and thank you again so much for the outstanding praise.

- Russ (innkeeper)

The beautifully restored Croff House was the ideal spot for a relaxing two-day vacation. Russ and Duncan are the ideal hosts; they've anticipated your every comfort, and they offer generous and gentle hospitality during your stay. Breakfast is a lavish multi-course event served in the light-filled dining room; afternoon fika is a treat with tea, coffee, and cookies, offered in the beautiful and inviting common rooms of the house. Our room (the Chace suite) was incredibly lovely, the bed large and comfortable, and the chairs cozy and inviting, perfect for reading and daydreaming and enjoying the fireplace. It's also an ideal room for early risers that enjoy watching the sky brighten, as I do, with a mug of hot coffee and a book. The bathroom, however, defies adjectives. There was a soaking tub nearly as long as I am tall. There is a glass-enclosed multi-jet spa shower, crowned with stained glass panels. There are robes and piles of towels, white and plush. It is stocked with luxurious toiletries. I have, since my too-brief stay at the Croff House, dreamed about airy, light-filled bathrooms.

My husband and I went for a weekend away and this was our first B&B experience, but i have a feeling it far surpasses other B&B's. Great location in terms of distance from NYC/ Westchester, and the house itself is a great location in Hudson, as it is walking distance to everything. Russ and Duncan were wonderful hosts, and all of the details they put into making the stay great are lovely. The house itself is stunning, breakfast is a delicious 3 course meal, and the atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. We ate at Daba, Mexican Radio, and CaMea during the weekend and all of our meals were excellent. Looking forward to visiting again in warmer weather!!

C&R: We couldn't be more happy to be the ones to introduce you to the wonderful world of bed and breakfasts. There are so many wonderful properties that offer so many lodging options. We would be selfish to say The Croff House was the only way to go. Having said that we are thrilled that you had such an awesome experience not only at the inn but in Hudson as well. The warm weather will be here soon, and with it we look forward to your return. Thanks again!

My boyfriend and I spent a milestone birthday at the Croff House, and we were very happy to be there! The breakfast was delicious, and the house is so spacious, you rarely see the other guests. It's a perfect place to stay if you want a good nights' sleep in a luxurious bed and a really stimulating shower or bath! (There are multiple shower heads--fun!) A meal at Daba was amazing, we highly recommend that. And a visit to the local stores where you'll see the best furniture around, albeit pricey. Go, and enjoy!! Russ and Duncan will be ever gracious.

Thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're so happy you had such a memorable birthday weekend and that we were able to help you celebrate it in style. From the shower and the breakfast to the beds and living areas you enjoyed all that The Croff House has to offer. Hudson is such a great town and we're glad you discovered some of what makes it special. Hopefully you won't wait for another birthday to visit us again. Until then, be well.

My husband and I stayed at Croff House for a relaxing getaway weekend. This was our first B&B experience and I think we are now spoiled! It was amazing! The Croff House is quaint yet modern with incredible hosts that add to the whole experience. Russ and Duncan have thought of every detail! We loved our room (Esylyn). The bathroom was immaculately clean with a soaking tub and a great shower. Our room had a gas fireplace and a lovely sete by the bay window. It was nice having some modern amenities (wifi, Direct TV, apple TV from which you can rent movies, IPOD connection in the room, spa type shower) at a B&B. Russ and Duncan were wonderful hosts. They picked us up and dropped us off at the train station! They suggested some wonderful dinner choices. The breakfast was amazing!! The afternoon tea was left for us to enjoy at our leisure with wonderfully delicious fresh baked cookies! We can't wait to return!

Thanks so much for staying with us and taking the time to write such a spectacular review! It was such a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend and you both so easy going and appreciative that it makes us feel like our efforts are worthwhile. We're glad you enjoyed the Esselstyn Suite and the other areas of the inn as well as wonderful meals at some of Hudson's best restaurants. All the best wishes for you and the new baby. When you need a little break you know where to find us.

We stayed at the Croff House as a weekend getaway. We loved it. The innkeepers were so warm and hospitable. We felt so comfortable and relaxed. The inn was so beautiful and very clean, and the breakfasts were really amazing. Overall, an incredible weekend stay.

We were so happy to help you guys welcome in the New Year! Hopefully we will get to see you both back in 2010. Until then we hope your year continues to be spectacular.

- Russ (innkeeper)

Duncan and Russ treated my wife and I like family, provided a beautifully furnished room in a beautifully furnished house, and served us the best breakfast I've had in years. We'll stay there again, the next time we want a weekend away, and we recommend it to anyone looking for a homey retreat. Don

It was such a pleasure hosting you both and we thank you for writing such wonderful comments about your stay with us. We hope that you will come back for a visit again soon and hope you both have a wonderful holiday season.

The Croff House is a hidden gem in Hudson, NY. My partner and I wanted to get away from Manhattan for the weekend which happened to coincide with the town's annual Winter Walk. We were utterly delighted to be welcomed in total charm and elegance. The owners Russ and Duncan have created a special atmosphere - a home away from home with the refinements and attention to detail found in five star hotels - yet so down to earth and incredibly comfortable. Their magical linens, top notch bathrooms, delicious breakfasts, two cozy fireplaces (which were so appreciated on this snowy weekend)...there so many superlatives. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and only 5 minutes from the main street of Hudson, the house provided the perfect place to return to after a full day outdoors. Tea, cider, cakes/cookies greeted us. We were told to make ourselves at home...which we delightfully accepted by spending hours mesmerized in front of the fireplace, reading, relaxing. A salute to Russ and Duncan who were so gracious and made us feel as if we were the only guests there. We could not have asked for anything more perfect. Thank you and we look forward to our next stay with you.

Having you two stay with us was really a treat, and we thank you so much for being such wonderful, appreciative guests. Winterwalk weekend is a lot of fun, adding a special meaning to "a small town Christmas" and we're happy you two were able to experience Hudson to the fullest. When we say "make yourselves at home" during check-in we genuinely mean it and enjoyed seeing you unwinding by the fireplaces, one of our favorite things to do. We look forward to your return soon and wish you all the best this holiday season and in the New Year.

We loved every aspect of our recent stay at this 1875 restored home in Hudson, NY. Our hosts Ross and Duncan were attentive to every aspect of our stay and their gourmet breakfasts were simply to die for. They did a phenomenal job in restoring this B&B and added all the contemporary conveniences as well. It was as if we were weekend guests at a friend's home. The Inn is a short walk from the town's main street with antique stores, shops, galleries and restaurants galore. A true gem.

An innkeeper can only hope to have guests like you two. We were only more than happy to open our home/inn to you both and are so glad you enjoyed your time here. Thanks for feeling like friends, because that is how we felt having you stay with us and hope you will come back again soon. We wish you both all best wishes this holiday season and in tne New Year.

- Russ (innkeeper)

We happened upon this B&B by accident and think it is a gem. We have written to friends recommending they try it for a weekend away. All the rooms are appointed with care, style and comfort in mind. The owners were helpful and made us a terrific departing breakfast. This was first-rate.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We were so glad you found us! Being the "new kid on the block" we realize a lot of people haven't found us, but we're so glad you did. Hopefully you will be back soon, and we look forward to seeing you again!

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

What a delightful B&B and way to spend a weekend getaway very convenient to NY. Great food and nice shops in Hudson NY. The B&B was charming, clean and terrifc hosts who are genuinely warm and friendly and aim to please - a very definite place to return to.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
You picked a great time of year to visit and we're so glad you had a great time. You're so right about Hudson and all the town has to offer. Hopefully you folks will be back again soon to explore more of the town and the area. Thanks for such a wonderful review. We really appreciate it.

- Russ (innkeeper)

The Croff House is B&B perfection. Russ and Duncan are so welcoming and lovely and have really paid attention to every detail. The house is gorgeous and our room struck that fine balance of being luxurious and elegant without feeling stuffy or overdone. Breakfast was an absolute treat - delicious and beautifully presented. We definitely have a new standard by which to judge every future B&B experience.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We loved having you stay with us, even though it was a short visit. Thanks for such terrific comments - glad to know that our efforts were noticed. Looking forward to seeing you again soon and wishing you both well until then!

THIS AUGUST MY WIFE AND I WENT TO HUDSON NY AND STAYED AT THE CROFF INN. UPON ARRIVAL WE WERE WARMLY WELCOMED BY RUSS, ONE OF THE OWNERS. HE ACTUALLY CARRIED OUR LUGGAGE TO OUR ROOM HIMSELF. THE PLACE WAS BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS. THE ROOMS WERE GREAT THE BEDS COMFORTABLE. THE NEXT MORNING, RUSS MADE BREAKFAST IT WAS WONDERFUL. BRBROWNE

Thank you for such great comments. We were so happy to have you with us and hope you can come back again soon. Until then, once again, many thanks.

- Russ (innkeeper)

Everything about the Croff House is first class, and lovely. The home, gardens, bed, sheets (so soft), spa shower (with jets), the incredible 3 course breakfast, the hosts Duncan and Ross, the town, the shops, it was just perfect. We walked everywhere in town and just loved coming back to the house. We will definitely return.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure having you all with us - you were terrific guests and a lot of fun. We hope you can make it back east in the near future and look forward to seeing you then.

- Russ (Innkeeper)

The Croff House is amazing. Its impeccably clean, well decorated and the breakfasts were outstanding. From the moment we arrived we were treated incredibly well by Russ and Duncan. We highly recommend it for a getaway.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for an "amazing" review and a fantastic weekend. Your whole group was a lot of fun and so easygoing. It made my job that much more a pleasure. We hope you guys come back to visit with us again soon.

- Russ (innkeeper)

This is by far the best bed and breakfast we've ever stayed at. The house is beautifully restored with a great combination of the old elegance and new comfort. Russ is very friendly and helpful without being intrusive the way B&B hosts sometimes are. He had anticipated our every comfort and was just great. We're already planning a revisit for next month.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
While "short" we are glad your visit with us was "sweet" and look forward to seeing you both again next month.

- Russ (Owner/Innkeeper)

Wonderful time. Duncan and Russ couldn't have been more accommodating. Lovely decor inside and outside. We rented the entire house for a long weekend wedding. Common areas great for morning and evening gatherings. Would definately stay again and refer to our friends! Great brownies!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
You guys were truly a delight! We enjoyed seeing everyone have such a great time together and were very glad that The Croff House could provide a home base for all your before, during, and after wedding activities. Looking forward to seeing you all back again soon!

- Russ (innkeeper)

My husband and I picked this B&B randomly off a list distributed by a bride and groom in preparation for their wedding weeked. I wouldn't normally be in Hudson, New York (we live in the midwest) but now I would gladly travel back there any time for another opportunity to stay in this wonderful Inn. Newly and brilliantly renovated, Croff offers all the ammenities of a modern large hotel, complete with flat screen TV, wireless internet, ipod docking stations and a very considerately stocked private bathroom in every room. The hosts are appropriately solicitous without imposing in any way, and easily respond to unusual requests with grace and good humor. (We asked for beach towels to avoid staining their brand new white fluffy towels in the sand, and poof!... they appeared immediately.) All aspects of the room and house provided all the privacy I could ever ask for, while making me feel very much at home. But none of this wonderfulness compares to the miracle known as the Croff Breakfast. I would wax poetic about the four course masterpieces served at the civilized hour of 9:00, but I think all I will say is "candied bacon" and let that speak for itself. Phenominal in every way. Think no further and definitely go out of your way to stay at Croff.

We were so happy to be able to host such a great group on such a wonderful weekend. Thank you for such a glowing review! We hope to see you both "back east" soon.

We were lucky to be the very first guests on opening night. Everything was perfect. The breakfast was a full gourmet event. Make your resevation today!

We're glad "opening night jitters" weren't an issue. As test subjects go you guys were the best! Thanks. We hope to see you both back soon!
