Guests of Rivertown Lodge in Hudson, NY, are often loath to leave. We ourselves frequently return by perusing the photos from our feature A Hotel with a Sense of Place. Proprietors Ray Pirkle and Kim Bucci found themselves responding so often to requests for extended stays and area rental recommendations that they decided to come up with a great answer: they purchased a dilapidated historic house within walking distance of the hotel and Hudson’s main drag, and turned it into Rivertown House.
Built in 1910 and “pretty destitute,” says Ray (scroll to the end to see what it looked like Before), the structure was an apt project for the duo, who, in addition to being hoteliers, run a design business they call Ramshackle Studio.
Every inch of the 1,400 square foot structure received attention, and the results are now in. The house has a newly opened up main floor, charmingly old-style new kitchen included; a stately rebuilt front stair; two well-dressed bedrooms and baths (Pirkle and Bucci know a lot about these things); an office/guest room; and lovely detailing (such as button light switches). Join us on a tour.
