Lavender Creek: Cozy Creekside Views from Mid-Century Modern Hudson Home

Lavender Creek is the perfect setting for your next adventure north to the bustling town of Hudson. Located 10 minutes to the town center, the home is tastefully designed and offers everything you need for a luxurious weekend getaway or holiday in the country. If you have your own kayak or paddleboard, you can launch into the Stockport Creek right from our backyard! Head down the hill and you’ll find the steps we built providing access to the creek. You can also opt for a guided kayak tour of the Stockport Creek or Hudson River. The creek is not recommended for swimming, but there are many great swimming holes in the Hudson Valley. During your stay look out for bald eagles flying over the creek! We’ve typically spotted them during the early evening hours. *If you would like to bring a dog, you *must* add it to the reservation under the # of guests section upon booking.
