Beautiful, Renovated Victorian Home in the Heart of Kingston

Historic charm, modern ease. Hightop House is a fully renovated 1904 Victorian just 2 blocks from Kingston’s Stockade District. 3 queen bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a renovated kitchen, fast Wi-Fi & a 32” monitor make it perfect for work-from-home retreats, milestone celebrations, or a basecamp to explore the Hudson Valley. Stroll to live shows at UPAC, craft beer at Keegan Ales, cafés, boutiques, and the NYC Trailways stop. <10 min drive to the waterfront, Ashokan Rail Trail & Hutton Brickyards.

Home Sweet Hudson is a proud member of VRMA, an international Vacation Rental Management Association. Our mission as a professional management company is to foster professionalism, collaboration, and growth for short-term rentals in our area. We hope you will help us support our mission by abiding by all of our house rules, supporting our local community, and being respectful of the home during your time in the beautiful Hudson Valley.

You can rest easy knowing your stay is covered with $1,500 in “All-Risk” Damage Protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection.

With “all-risk” protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.
We hope you enjoy your vacation with peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damages occur, you are protected under Waivo.
