About this property
Bring your boats, jetskis, and LARGE family - so much space inside and out
This 5 bedroom 6 bathroom, 2800 sq ft house is just the perfect place for a large or multi family get away. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. This unique home has so much to be desired and we did not leave anything out. A new custom kitchen was installed May 2017 along with all brand new furnishings including bedrooms, mattress, TV, dressers, all appliances, washer/dryer and more. The house offers games, books, toys, wifi and more to keep your family entertained. Please play and have fun. The house includes all bedding, towels and even a few extra's to make sure your stay is the best ever. Forget something- don't worry, we know it happens which is why we hope you enjoy your welcome home basket which contains many of the "little things." Be the first to book and stay at this amazing home. The house is best known to the locals as the "church" because it was once the local church which was converted into a one of a kind "retreat" that we call The Haven. The property is located in the center of town, walk to beach, restaurants, shopping, amusement park and more. Lets not forget about the fishing and hunting.. The Turning Stone casino is a short drive away as well as golf and other amenities. In the winter we welcome ice fishing groups along with snow mobile groups. The driveway can hold multiple cars and sleds as we are on a double lot. The laundry room boasts large counters to dry your equipment, helmets and gear. We are excited to have you and look forward to hearing from you.

We were in the area for a family memorial service. Our immediate family stayed at The Haven and we loved it! There was so much for the kids to do and the adults enjoyed playing pool. This was the perfect spot for the weekend for our family!
This is our second time staying at the property. The property manager provided prompt responses to any questions we had. Short walk to the beach and close proximity to stores makes staying here convenient. Would stay again.
We had a really nice stay at this property. Host was super helpful and location was perfect. We were a few blocks from beach. We were up in this area for a family member’s military funeral/celebration of life. Property was perfect for our needs.
Great location to Sylvan Beach, restaurants and stores. All a very short walk away. The house is perfect - big kitchen, pool table, games. Every bedroom has a bathroom. Very quiet street. Perfect!
Great lodging for multi generational/multi family retreats
We came to Sylvan Beach for a family reunion. 8 of us stayed at this converted church. It quickly became the gathering point for the larger family group.
Great open kitchen for prep and serving. Plenty of room to indoor or outdoor dining.
Ample parking.
The hosts were very responsive to the minor needs we had during our stay.
We'd stay again!
We were looking for something with four bedrooms with separate bathrooms and this place was perfect. We had family from three different states, so the open concept was was very good for us. Easy walk to downtown and the beaches, we even walked to Verona Beach State Park one day. This worked for our family!
10 of us stayed for 4 days for a bass tournament. Plenty of room, and exactly what we were looking for. The parking situation was a huge bonus, given that we had several trucks & boats. Rhonda was responsive to questions and very nice. We will definitely be looking to stay again next year when we fish Oneida.
Very spacious property. Huge open area family room with an updated kitchen was ideal for socializing. The pool table was a bonus. Having 5 bedrooms, although cottage like, each had their own bathroom which offered convenience and privacy. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach was terrific. We would book a return stay.
We weren’t able to enjoy Sylvan Beach because our schedule in Syracuse was so full, but we enjoyed being able to stay together under one roof!!
One of the best amenities about the property was having enough bathrooms and the beautiful wood interior of the great room!
We recently held a family reunion for four couples at the four seasons house. We wanted it all on one level with dedicated bathrooms a plus. We got it all at this site. The large open area is perfect for socializing and activities/cooking and much more comfortable than the pictures show. All my family members enjoyed the time there. Will definitely consider future stays.
The Haven is set up perfectly for our group, with a large, comfortable common area and a fantastic kitchen. It's a very short walk to the beach and everything else the Sylvan Beach main street has to offer. We literally never drive anywhere once we've arrived.
Rhonda has consistently been an excellent host who addresses any questions very quickly. Looking forward to our next stay already!
We have booked this property twice now for an annual summer volleyball tournament at Sylvan Beach. It is a lovely place to stay with plenty of open space for our group of friends, an outdoor grill and spacious kitchen that make meal preparation easy, and a bathroom with a shower in each bedroom, all within walking distance from the beach! Rhonda is very responsive and easy to work with. We appreciate everything and plan to be back next year!
Good location and plenty of room. We were there to play golf. We found the beds uncomfortable. the property was surface clean, but not deep clean. For example, there were dead flies on several of the window ledges
Great place. Our annual guys trip with friends and family was great and part of it was because of this space. I really enjoyed the fact that each of the 6 rooms has their own bathroom. The fact that it used to be a church adds a ton of character. close to Turing stone casino ($40 -$50 Lyft/uber) plenty of parking and plenty of extra amenities like extra towels, air mattresses, pool table, games, etc. The property manager is very responsive and I really enjoyed reading through the binder and learning about all of the great things that the property owners do.
thank you for allowing us to stay here. Hoping to come back soon.
We had a good time. The grandkids kept busy most of the time. We took advantage of the nearness of the beach for swimming with the kids - for hours! Fortunately it was not the sweltering heat we had been having as there is no air conditioning except in one bedroom. Fans in some of the rooms but fear it may be hot if weather were different. One ceiling fan didnot work. This was our second year and we were not disappointed.

We stayed for a weekend family event. The common area was nice and bedrooms okay but we were disappointed by the condition - doors in disrepair, spills on tables, crumbs on floor, lint and hair in showers. Need non slip surface in showers. Door to closet in middle room off track with handles that fell off. Coffee pot was dirty and many dishes in the cupboard were not clean. Carpenter Bees swarming under back porch roof. Couldn’t find ac control. Bed mattresses poor. If supposed to sleep 12 people, there should be 12 coffee cups, spoons, etc.
The large open gathering space and the 5 bedrooms...all with bathrooms were really convenient for a 3 day multi family stay for our moms funeral service.
