The space
The Church was built in 1876 and is featured in a chapter of the book Staatsburg: A Village Lost in Time by Anthony P. Musso. The main living space is the former sanctuary which is open and airy and receives wonderful amber light through the original glass-paned windows. Its acoustics are phenomenal. A cozy corner nook has a gas fireplace with a rocking chair. The main bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed with a door that opens to a small front porch. The den bedroom has a writing desk, a couch that pulls out to a bed, and bookshelves full of reading material from Japanese haiku and other poetry to visual art books. There is a flat-screen television and Apple TV with high-speed wifi throughout. An enclosed sun porch provides a quiet room for reading or resting in spring and summer.
The house has central heating and AC as well as a backup generator.
Getting here
Between two train stations: a 12-minute drive (Amtrak - Rhinecliff) or 20 minutes (Metro North - Poughkeepsie). The property is just under a 2-hour drive from NYC, 10 minutes to the town of Rhinebeck, 10 minutes to Hyde Park, and 20 minutes to Poughkeepsie.
Things to do
There are plenty of walks and hikes nearby, including Mills Mansion and a walk along the Hudson River.A short walk to Rhinebeck is a 10-minute drive, and the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies is a 15-minute drive. Bikes and paddle boards are available for use. Plenty of antique shops are nearby to peruse, and wonderful places to get a massage or have a spa day in Rhinebeck and Hyde Park. The Staatsburg Public Library and Post Office are just down the street. Other outdoor activities include nearby pickleball courts, a public golf course, and kayaking. In summer, there are free outdoor weekly events at Mills and Vanderbilt Mansions.
Rest and renewal
The space is especially good for rest and healing. The main sanctuary space has a wonderful sound system. There are yoga cushions, blankets and mats, an acupressure foot massager, plenty of books to read on the sun porch, and, of course, the hot tub. Hummingbirds, songbirds, and bunnies are frequent visitors.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
