The Church was a very unique home to stay in for the weekend. It was well appointed with all the needed conveniences of home. The hot tube was very nice; the acoustics were very neat. Alison was so responsive and helpful! Such a great location between Hyde Park and Rhinebeck. Cute little town of Staatsburg!

This is a magical place to stay in the Hudson Valley. My husband and I were comfortable, welcomed warmly by our host, and enjoyed all the amenities offered. It is a relaxing place to come home to after a long day of sightseeing. The large table was perfect for our jigsaw puzzles, and the cd collection was great. We love Staatsburg now!

Second stay

This is the second time we stayed at the church and we had an incredible time. Close to village of Rhinebeck so there’s plenty to do, and the host made for a painless stay. I highly recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back.

What a magical place to stay!My friend and I were staying for the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival. The church is on a quiet street with easy parking in front. Check in and entry was easy and smooth, with no issues. When we first turned on the lights, we both caught our breath and turned in circles taking everything in. The main room is airy and bright. Do you play the piano? There’s a PIANO. The kitchen and bathroom were both spotless and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. I forgot a corkscrew. We found 6.The home itself was fascinating. Our first night we opened a bottle of wine and spent the whole evening looking at the art and going through the books and records. The church is well away from any traffic, but still has easy access to everything in the Hudson Valley. There is a fantastic restaurant (River and Post) right around the corner, a historic mansion on the road to the church, and Rhinebeck is 10 minutes away.We are planning on visiting the area again next year and are looking forward to staying here again.

Lovely and unique spot.

Very interesting place to stay. Off the beaten path in a small village but close to everything in the general area. Great restaurants, state park, historical sites, beautiful landscapes nearby. House was meticulous and owners very helpful. Hope to be back.

Our host Alison, was super! Immediate response to given situation of snowstorm & being snowed in. Assured us of generator working in case power went off. Very amiable, calm and professional.
The glowing light thru the kitchen window was golden & luminous was beautiful!

Historic Church in Hudson River Valley

We spent a long weekend at the church in Staatsburg and had a great time. The church is basically mid way between Rhinebeck, which has shopping and a historic movie theater, and the history attractions in Hyde Park. The church was a beautiful place to stay and I’d definitely visit again.

Quiet, peaceful, and near all the places

As you might imagine, a repurposed church is quiet, spacious, and tranquil. We wanted easy access to Hyde Park, Rhinebeck, and Poughkeepsie and that we got. We also wanted a place we could rest and relax. Staatsburg is a quiet village, but it does have a first-rate restaurant. You can hear the commuter trains pass, but not loud enough to be a bother. Would recommend this property to anyone with a motor vehicle.

This space is unique in the quaint town of Staatsburg. Location was easy to fine. It’s close to Hyde Park and Rheinbeck. There are lovely things to do right in your backyard, so to speak, the Mills Mansion tour is very good and the nearby state park has lovely trails. The church is lovingly decorated and definitely feels like someone’s home (versus a sterile set up). The bedroom has a comfy queen bed. The second room is a library with a sofa bed. It worked well for our 20 year old daughter but if you are a tad older, you might feel the springs. It was May when we visited and the area is lush and green but the sun comes up early so bring a sleeping mask if you prefer to sleep in. The space has great natural light. A lovely kitchen with everything and a good bathroom with plenty of hot water. Never made it into the hot tub. The nearby River and Post is delicious, and the A&A Market up the hill, 10 min walk, has good breakfast sandwiches, drinks and snacks. The church way a great base from which to explore the area.
