The Pink Castle — Hotel in Hudson

Now starting out with I haven't stayed here. I am just responding as a neighbor who lives close by. I wanted to say that if I ever did need a fun unique place with a vibrant fun owner I would choose here. The character on the inside of the house is still there, there is no contemporary "open concept" look that many people are doing now a days to other older homes. She has put her color choice onto to the outside and inside of the house that made the history pop out in her eyes and makes us appreciate somethings we may not have seen if it was just a bland white color. We all may not agree with the color but I have lived right next to this house for 6 years and still haven't grown old of the house and I am not a pink person. I enjoy bumping into my neighbor and her family having small friendly neighborly conversations. Since this has been more of an Air-b-n-b house. I have been appreciative to most of the groups that have stayed there and have respected the surrounding neighbours with their noise level especially at night. So when the tome comes when I need a venue like this. I will have this is my back pocket.....

My two girls and I stayed last-minute (booked at about 11:30am for a 3pm check-in) at the "Glazing Globe Igloo" on the Fleetwood Farm's property in Afton, MN [edited*]. I was looking for a different experience/get-away for the day and night to get my kids out of the house.

I am not sure if this was because we booked too last-minute that there wasn't time, or if this is the norm... it just seems like it could use someone's caring, special detailed touches to make it sparkle new again.

Their website also states, "Located on a private beach facing a breathtaking pond," but there is no beach or pond in view of this site... the pond is near the yurts, not the igloo.

The chicken's water was green/algae-grown..

Overall, it was a nice...

The Pink Castle is a one of a kind experience. Not only do you get to see and stay in a house full of history, but also you get to experience such unique beauty & luxury. As a Hudson native, I love driving past The Pink Castle. In the early 1800's Camisole Pink was actually a very popular color for Victorian era homes. I love that the owner of The Pink Castle has recreated such a beautiful color, for such a historical home. If you want to live like royalty, & Experience a true uniquely one of a kind stay in the historical town of Hudson, Wisconsin. I highly recommend staying at The...
