This was such a lovely unique experience that offered some much needed relief from NYC. The chapel is quite cozy and special. There's something fun about running out to the outhouse in the middle of the night! (perhaps not for *every* traveler) Extremely charming.

Wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic stay at The Chapel. It was just the fun, different kind of place we were looking for. Pat and Christine were great hosts. We really appreciated their suggestions of hikes and places to visit. We actually had our trip planned out before, but changed it due to their suggestions. We had NO regrets. The bed was super comfy and we loved the s'more makings.

We had a wonderful time staying at this charming and unique getaway! The accommodations were very comfortable. The property was beautiful and felt secluded without being isolated. The chapel itself is beautiful. The bathroom was overall nicer than we anticipated; just be mindful to put the camping shower out in the sun so the water warms up! Overall, highly recommend this experience. The hosts were also very responsive and kind.

I truly enjoyed myself here. It is a gorgeous property with wonderful light. There are many seating areas which allow you special moments all throughout the day. Sipping coffee, having a fire, enjoying dinner. I have never felt so relaxed. I highly recommend if you need a little peace and quiet.

Cozy, warm, and steeped in history

What a unique and sweet space! My partner and I were looking for someplace quaint and off the beaten path- we are not “hotel people” and this little chapel did not disappoint! Everything was meticulously clean, check in was easy and the hosts were great commutators. If you need tons of amenities, turn down service, long hot showers, and a flat screen tv, this is NOT your place. But if you want cozy and unique, the pictures are exactly what you’ll find in this tucked away historical gem!

Unique and Fun Place to Stay

One of the most unique places we've stayed. as advertised: 1845 chapel, complete with pews and altar and a cemetery out back. And the bonus of a disco light. As someone else said, not for folks who need to be pampered. Toilet, sink and camp shower in a small outbuilding; a few kitchen basics to make food in a microwave or on the grill outside...but the bed is nice and firm and comfortable, the AC is powerful, cools the place down in a few minutes, and it's just a fun stay if you like something out of the ordinary.

Not what we expected

We arrived to find a fan blowing and the whole place reeking of mold/mildew. The bathroom is in a separate building and does not have a proper shower, just a camping shower. We would have been more comfortable in a tent. We left and went to a hotel and asked for a refund, and they are only refunding one night since we dared to use the bathroom in the ten minutes we were there. So if you want to pay 150 to use the bathroom this is the place for you.

Fun and rustic property`

I enjoyed my stay here, and I think the description and other reviews are accurate. The chapel was somewhat eerie on first arrival, but ended up being quite cozy and comfortable. I was a bit disappointed to see that the piano was nonfunctional, and there was an issue with the water so the toilet and sink in the bathroom were not working either. However, Pat was very responsive and got back to me quickly regarding the water issue, and the shower provided is an indoor camp shower which I was still able to use. The whole property was also surprisingly clean which I really appreciated. Definitely go for a "glamping" experience rather than that of a hotel, but I think this would be the perfect home base for someone hiking nearby or if you're looking for something more elevated than true camping.

Loved it.

My husband and I loved our time at the chapel. All of the reviews were accurate. After a long hike up breakneck trail, we had a delicious lunch in Cold Spring, then headed to the chapel. We were hoping for a hot shower, and didn’t quite grasp the concept of a “camp shower” (5 gallon bladder of cold water with a small spout to open and close as you need). Once we got over our initial surprise, we adapted and were perfectly content. We headed to the Sloop Brewery only 10 min away to have a great dinner, which live music and delicious beer. After returning, we sat by the perfectly set up fire in the back of the chapel and enjoyed the s’mores kit thoughtfully left by the hosts. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen had everything we needed for tea/coffee making. In the morning, we took a nice 2hour hike straight from the chapel onto a section of the AT. It was great. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
