Church Des Artistes

Our Story

The entire church living space is available for family and friends celebrations, reunions and retreats ! Due to the pandemic we have temporarily closed renting individual rooms asva B&B and will continue to rent the whole property. At the moment there is a 10 person maximum and when we get past phase 3 of the reopening for Ulster County we can allow up to 14 guests.

We are an artist and composer who have lived and worked in our circa 1860 church for 20 years, our children have grown, we travel for work, art residencies, musical touring and just for fun-!

The chapel has a 'great room' with soaring 24" ceilings, a balcony, a Steinway grand piano, comfortable chairs and couches to relax in and turbospeed wireless broadband signal throughout the building.

There are five beautiful bedrooms which sleep up to 14 people, each bedroom has armoires, desks and settees for retreat and rest, three of the bedrooms are upstairs and two are on the first floor with their own ensuite bathrooms.

The other three full bathrooms are all on the first floor, two have claw-foot tubs, one a huge soaker and the other has a gloriously high pressure shower as does our third tub which also has whirlpool bath jets.

The kitchen is the original church kitchen boasting a 8 burner cast iron stove, antique pine cupboards, a large farm table that will seat ten, or the harvest table in the great room seats 20. There are 2 sinks, plenty of chopping work tables, a collection of pots and pans for cooking. We provide dishes, cutlery and glassware.

When the weather is fine we recommend eating outside in our private courtyard garden, there are farm tables and chairs available for dinning outside.

The Chapel is located in the Historic Rondout of Kingston NY and is close to the Rondout river and the Hudson river. There are restaurants, galleries, antique shops just down the hill from us. Kingston abounds with history. The uptown Stockade district was burned by the local indigenous tribe, later the British and even later became the capital of New York State in 1777, it is now a very happening and beautiful place to explore both the history of the state and a vibrant contemporary arts scene hosting numerous musical and arts events like the O+ festival and "First Saturdays" Art openings

We provide towels and linens, we also provide separate towels for trips to nearby lakes and swimming holes. The washer and dryer are available for use.
