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!

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!

Great find and super family friendly

My family of 8 stayed at this location. Everything about it was easy. The accommodations were great and everything was nicely appointed. Bill, who is the owner, is a great guy and made sure everything was ready for our arrival, including a warm and toasty home. We stayed to ski Belleayre and it’s couldn’t have been better with a less than 10 minute ride. Highly recommend if your are staying with a large group.

Great Pandemic Destination

What a great pandemic destination! Our family of 4 had a great week in Arkville. The house is so interesting and we were never bored with the game room, hot tub and all the nature available to us. The owner was very attentive and sent several good activity suggestions. Overall, the scene of a great getaway!

Birthday ski weekend

Our multi- generational family had a wonderful time at the Heavenly Getaway! It was quirky and full of curiosities and lots of entertainment- pool table, football, air hockey, and a large movie projector! And a hot tub! Large dining room to accommodate all of us for breakfast or dinner! And our host was very communicative and checked in with us each day! A good time was had by all!

Family skiing trip

This house was perfect for our family getaway! It had all the accommodations we were looking for and only 5 minutes from the mountain. Pictures do not do it justice! The interior design blew us away with all of the antique decor. The kids had a blast in the game room and movie theater. The host Bill was so accommodating and helpful he made our stay 10 times better!

Very unique and fun

We went with two families for a fun ski weekend. It was a very unique old church property and the game room was huge and entertaining for all. It's the kind of place that's great for a group that is willing to pile into various spaces, loves antiques and unique themed decorations, and is easy going about small things like uneven heating. The owners support and responsiveness was absolutely fantastic.

Great Time!

Had a great time at this house. House is filled with a myriad of things to keep kids and adults entertained. House is close to skiing and hiking. We were able to have an air hockey and pool tournament at night. Great big screen for the football game. We were able to walk to the Union Grove Distillery and a small grocery store. Plenty of room for big groups.

Great home base for fishing the Catskills

Heavenly Getaway is a great place for a larger group. It was great home base for fly fishing across the Catskills. Arkville is a wonderful sleepy little town with Margaretville next door. Everything you need and nothing you do not want. The game room was a great days end entertainment for our group of ages of 14 to 65. The Esopus is 20 minutes away. The Beaverkill & Willowemoc is 45-55 minutes away in Roscoe.

Enthusiastic recommendation!

A very unusual and interesting converted church. The spiral staircases are a little unwieldy but not impossible. The showers are very good. A little more lighting wouldn't be an awful thing. But the amenities are unique and fun and so is the whole house.
