Our stay at the church was really wonderful. So much history and always something to do ie: game room, hot tub, movie room. William was always ready to respond to any questions. Overall stay was excellent. We had a great time and would love to stay again in the future.

A flawless vacation...William is definitely a Superhost, his communication was 5 star throughout our entire trip. And the property is absolutely a heavenly getaway. There's something new to see at every turn. The loft is full of every game you can think of, and the jacuzzi in the media room was outstanding planning. We will definitely be back.

This property was so cool!! Gorgeous antiques everywhere, and cool artifacts from American history. The beds were so comfy. Lots of space. We didn't get to utilize the game room other than to sleep, but it was awesome! We sat in the hot tub and watched a movie! We were in town for a wedding, but wished we were only there for a vacation. This property was just so charming! The remnants of the church added so much to the charm. Great host! With a last minute email he let me bring our dogs. If I ever go back to the area I will definitely be staying here again.

Our 3 generation family thoroughly enjoyed our ski weekend and enjoyed our stay here. The "house" is spacious and unique and filled with antiques plus it is a convenient drive to Belleayre Ski Center. The kids enjoyed playing upstairs and most of the adults hung out in the kitchen during the evenings. The beds were comfortable and we were able to maintain the heat in a comfortable range for us (upper 60s).

A Special Place

This "Home" is quite unique, indoor hot tub which the kids loved, as well as the game room upstairs which all enjoyed. A well stocked kitchen and ample bedding for 10 made our weekend Family Reunion stay fantastic. We will look forward to renting again for the next one. Communication from the owner was great!

Great place to stay in the Catskills

My group had a great experience staying in this house. The house was very roomy and decorated nicely. We ended up using the game room whenever we had down time back at the house. Communication with the owner was also very pleasant and helpful.

Great stay in an interesting home

William was an excellent host there to help out in anyway and ensuring we had everything we need. The home is such an interesting place and has is much to do in the game room and to see in all of the antiques spread through out the house. The kids especially enjoyed the hot tub and game room. Amazing to stay in an old church from the 1800s we had so much fun!

Enjoyable stay in Arkville

Very cool building in a quaint town. Host was awesome and helpful with great "things to do" suggestions and accomodating. Amazing rental for a young family/group. Spiral stairs a challenge for seniors and a broad shouldered guy. Neat if you want the place to tell a story!
