Hudson Reviews

Write a review about Hudson Tell people what you like or don't like about Hudson…
Cozy but Lively 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in Hudson is pretty chill. I grew up here and moved to the nearby twin cities for college. I missed it enough that I came back, and not just for the family and friends I left behind. There is a surprising amount of things to do in a city so tiny, but with having the cities ...Read More so close-by, I guess it's not all that surprising. The people are great and I know from personal experience that it is a great place for a family to raise a kid or two.

The best areas in Hudson to find a bite to eat have got to be the Pier 500 with it's awesome views of the river, and Stone Tap, an awesome pub with comfort food and great beer. Hudson has become a tourist destination, and hotels have popped up everywhere, along with shopping options and great food. We even have the historic octagonal house that is registered as a historic site worth checking out. Read Less
