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!

Everything you need

Great place -- very comfy with a lot of different rooms and amenities. While my wife and I had the run of the whole place, it was way more room than we needed -- place is perfect for a families or couples travelling together. Hot tub, game room (it was so cold we spent a lot of time here!), dining room, living room with pellet stove, "theater room" off the hot tub with a projection white screen, back deck with gas grill. Guests really have a lot of control over the experience depending on what rooms you want to use-- thermostats in every room, electric stoves in most, and the pellet stove in the living room. Proprietor was very solicitous about making sure we had everything we needed and things worked properly. Arkville's a great location -- right off 28, you can shoot down the highway to a lot of different towns with their own amenities and things to do.

Great for family with Teenagers

Very farm/ old fashion decoration which we loved. House is just great for Families that have teenagers. A lot of entertainment in the house and around the neighborhood. Close to Mountain and shops. Kinda upset with the heating but we didn’t mind wearing some extra clothing. Very good communication with the Landlord in every aspect. Will come back and stay again!!

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!

Awesome!

My friends and I had the best time at the Heavenly Getaway, Mcbride House. Pictures do not do it justice. We enjoyed exploring the house from the antiques to the game room. Plenty of space for all of us. Spotless and comfortable. Sitting outside at the end of our day on the porch looking at the stars was so relaxing. I cannot say enough about the host Bill. He had turned on the ac prior to our arrival so it was nice and cool upon our arrival. And had stocked the freezer with some ice.He so receptive to my numerous questions regarding restaurants, activities, live music etc. He even checked in each day to make sure we had an awesome time and ask if we needed anything, He truly wants his guests to have the best experience, and we did! We hope to come back next year!

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.

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!

Unique to say the least!

This house is so unique and eclectic! The kids had fun exploring all the antique phones and record players as well as finding their way around the house through all the doors and rooms. The game room was a lot of fun. The host was so communicative and friendly! He made sure we were ok and warm the whole time (which we were) I was very impressed. Now, keep in mind that this is Upstate NY. The houses are old and rustic so you need to expect that the pipes take more time to warm up the plumbing may leak a bit. But the showers were great and the drinking water was fabulous. The whole house had a lot going on but it was very very clean. However, I think this house is best matched to preteens and parents. There is very little privacy and the top bed room is up very narrow and steep spiral stairs. The bathrooms are on the bottom floor so getting up in the middle of the night will be tricky for toddler parents and seniors. Just plan for those folks to stay in the 2 room on the first floor. Save the loft for the teens. The house itself is 5 minutes from Skiing and a cute little downtown area.. Enjoy!

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.

Really special place to stay

We had a wonderful time staying at the Church House. Our kids loved it, especially because of all the entertainment provided in the upper loft with all they could play with…pool table/air hockey/fussball/poker/video games/darts, you name it! Bill is an exceptionally attentive host always checking in to make sure all is ok. Downside- it was a particularly cold weekend and some of the rooms were very chilly at night. Pellet stove helped but needs attention every 6 hrs or goes out- so a broken sleep…but kind of fun in a sense, taking us back to the old days, when things weren’t so convenient. I’m sure my kids would be happy to visit again though!

Perfect house for ski weekend getaway

This house is quirky but fun, and perfect for lots of friends/family to stay together. I just got back from staying in this converted Church w/my husband, two kids and dog. My brother and his family also stayed (three kids, wife and dog). There was pleanty of room to spread out, but there was also a large dinning room to have meals together. The loft has an amazing game room, which kept the kids (ages 3-12) entertained. The house is a 10 minute drive from Belleyre Mountain. The owner was very responsive and super sweet. He stopped by to check up on us, and he told us we could stay past check out if we wanted to continue skiing. Overall it was a perfect weekend.

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.
