The B&B was accurately described and communication was responsive and clear. The Owner is extremely helpful and accommodating. The muffins served in the morning were delicious and the owner was even kind enough to pack some for later. We enjoyed the room and the a/c blocked out any street noise. The bathroom is small but we were happy to have access to it in our own room. Before arriving we thought we were going to use a shared bathroom. We had a lovely stay and it was conveniently located close to the Taconic Pkwy to get to our destinations. Highly recommend.

Stayed for Labor Day weekend with my family. Charming, comfortable, and personal. Classically appointed room, local recommendations, delicious home made muffins and local fruit for breakfast. If you are visiting the region this is the place to stay.

My stay with Loretta was a great experience. Checkin and checkout were easy. the room was cozy, and it was great for our dog to have the large outdoor space right outside the room door. The garden room was great if you want just a little more of your own space while still having all of the amazing hospitality, as it’s detached from the main house. It was really perfect for us and our sometimes whiny dog . There were a bunch of really cute touches that made this special and memorable. Both mornings, Loretta brought us these amazing soft little muffins (day 1 was banana nut and day 2 was coffee cake). She was so sweet, and really clearly cares a lot about providing an amazing experience. The room had a jar of 3 musketeers bars which we definitely had a few of . There were all sorts of other nice little amenities like wine and a Keurig machine and a nice big bathtub that we personally didn’t use but that’s just because our stay was pretty short. It was somewhat easy to get uber/lyft in and out of Hudson to go have a few drinks, and it is near a lot of really fun and interesting things to do and eat. This was so much cooler and more fun and wholesome than booking an air bnb or staying at one of the foofy hotels in town, and I’m definitely going to remember this stay forever. Thank you Loretta!

We stayed in the Garden Suite a few weekends ago and found the bed very comfortable and the room clean and inviting. Loretta’s a very warm and hospitable host and her muffins are delicious.

Our stay at Changing Times Lodging was delightful. The ease of check in was appreciated after a long drive. Complimentary refreshments were offered in the dining area upon arrival. The rooms were clean, cozy and the bed was comfortable. Loretta was a great host, she had fresh baked muffins, seasonal fruit and hot coffee waiting every morning. She helped with suggestions of restaurants and places of interest. We highly recommend this quaint lodge.

A really charming BNB. Easy to get to, very easy self check-in. The warm and welcoming Owner provides complimentary beverages and biscotti for guests to access anytime in the lounge area; we had muffins and coffee in the morning served in the pretty dining room. Rooms were cozy and had pretty antique furniture throughout. The shower in my room was a bit small for my husband but it worked and everything was very clean.

This place is an absolute gem! My dog and I stayed here for a two night trip up from the city, and it was even better than we expected. Loretta is a fabulous host - she was kind and accommodating (even with our last-minute reservation), and had lots of local recommendations. She has obviously taken a lot of care with the decor and ambiance of the b&b, which is clean, charming, and historic. The rooms are cozy and quite private from the main living spaces, and the location is an easy 15 minute drive from Hudson. Also great homemade blueberry muffins in the morning! I would highly recommend this over an airbnb - hospitality like this is a dying art.
