This beautiful old clapboard church has been turned into a woodland retreat like no other, where deer regularly stroll among the trees. Just outside Woodstock, there are craft beer breweries, farm shops and mom and pop coffee shops a short drive away, and trails into the Catskills are all around. From the outside, this home still looks like it holds Sunday Service, tucked in 1.5 acres of forest. Arched, stained-glass windows throw rainbows of light into the living room and what was once the altar is now a cosy nook for a wood-burning stove, framed by the wooden mantel from a famous Broadway theatre. The kitchen is fully-equipped with spices, ingredients, utensils and everything you'll need to prepare a hearty home-cooked meal. What was once the Sunday School room is now a lavish bedroom and just beneath the belltower, you’ll find a reading nook for lazy days, plus a range of games to keep everyone entertained. Outside, you’ll find a barbecue grill and seating on the patio, and a hammock to enjoy the sounds of the forest with a gentle sway. This is one home that really needs to be seen to be believed.

Home truths

    There is purposefully no television with this home as the idea is a peaceful escape in the forest

    There's no washer or dryer, but Woodstock has a laundrette

    A twisting spiral staircase leads to the reading nook, so this spot may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

    The reading nook has a twin bed that can be used by guests

    There is easy parking right outside this home

    As this is a historic building surrounded by woodland, the hosts are very conscious about fire, so fire pits are not allowed outside and candles not permitted inside

About The Catskills

While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery.
