Happy Holidays!

Christmas is our favorite time of the year. We get to decorate our home and celebrate the festivity of the season. Bright lights. Sparkling ornaments. Friends and loved ones together. They all signal that time of year when we share with each other the joy of the season

Traditionally Hudson kicks off the Holiday Season with Winterwalk which takes place this year on Saturday, December 6. This event truly is small town America at its best. Starting with a parade down Warren Street and featuring strolling musicians, lots of food and drink, holiday revelers dressed in period Victorian costumes, and of course Santa Claus Winterwalk is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Next year The Croff House will be participating in Winterwalk, but this year we get to enjoy it ourselves.

We look forward to 2009 when The Croff House opens its doors and we have the pleasure of welcoming guests and making the acquaintances of new friends. Over the next year we hope to be able to extend a warm greeting to people we have known for years and those we have yet the pleasure of meeting.

We wish you the best this holiday season, health and prosperity in 2009 and look forward to welcoming you in person to The Croff House in the near future.

Progress continues

Before talking about the progress on the renovations, it is very exciting to announce that The Croff House website now has the Inn’s room availability/booking engine online. This is great because right now The Croff House is the only B&B in the city of Hudson to offer online reservations – and we’re not even open yet!

Progress on the renovations continues at a fast pace. Gary, our electrician, feels his work will be ready for inspection by Christmas. Tom, our plumber, and his team are also moving forward quickly. The first two parts of the plumbing aspect, removal of the old pipes and the installation of the new, is essentially complete. Now the hot and cold water lines will be run to each guest bathroom and the installation of the “on-demand” hot water system begins. Then the system gets inspected and, assuming The Croff House passes inspection, the walls are “closed up” and the finishing work begins.

We have a great team of tiling, insulation, and finish carpentry experts at the ready once both the electrical and plumbing inspections are completed. We have selected all of the bathroom tile and are happy to report that all of the bathroom fixtures have arrived and are awaiting installation.

So progress continues.
