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.

Beach Stay

The Haven is a beautiful and spacious rental. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom plus a community bathroom as well. The Haven came stocked with all the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom supplies one may need, which was great! Plenty of space for parking and a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Overall, a great place to stay!

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!

Perfect stay for a fishing trip

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.
