This converted church has the most unique setup of any rental we've stayed in, complete with high ceilings, 2 spiral staircases to reach Ā½ of the rental area including a huge game room with a pool table and other fun activities, as well as a hidden loft with an area that sleeps 3 people. It's antique furnishing are really interesting. The host, William, is responsive,The house is heated with individual electric heating units in each space including the bathrooms, as well as, a pellet stove in the first sitting area. All in all, we enjoyed our 2 night stay. The game-room loft area was really fun, as was the sauna. We recommend this unique home. Guests booking need to be mindful that their family members can traverse the spiral steps to be able to get complete use of the remarkable space.

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 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!

Great place to stay in the Catskills

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 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!

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 itā€™s couldnā€™t have been better with a less than 10 minute ride. Highly recommend if your are staying with a large group.
