5/5 Great area and overall amazing place to relax

Best Getaway Ever!
5/5 This was a getaway trip for me and my BFF. I can't love this place enough! We've never stayed in a 100+ year old church so it was an awesome experience. Just to see the history that was still intact gave you goose bumps. The furnishings were gorgeous and the accommodations were impeccable. Loved having two sides to the bathroom so we each had our own space. The shower was massive! The bed was super comfy and there was just so much space through the whole place. Loved the swing in the living room! The kitchen was so cute with the old replica stove. And who thinks to put a piano in the kitchen?! But it was such a unique touch. Loved having a firepit to sit around with a glass of wine. I will definitely be back but I can't decide if I want to bring my BFF again or my husband! Thanks Catey!

Relaxing Stay
5/5 Accommodations were very nice. The house was very unique and clean. The upper areas were serene. We did have a fire pit one night that was fun. The checkout instructions were a bit too demanding for us to clean, wash sheets, run dishwasher etc for the almost $200 cleaning fee charged. I don’t mind doing the extra cleaning prep, but to charge that much- not right. Driveway not as bad as it first seems.

Cool Unique Property
5/5 Have never stayed in a church before…what a piece of history. Was comfortable and beautiful, the original stained glass windows were incredible. Bed was very comfortable, oversized shower in the bathroom , the living room is basically the old sanctuary so tons of room. Cozy back porch and garden area with a good assortment of fire flies to welcome you. We didn’t use the loft area, probably worth noting that the stairs are really step and would be challenging for children. We loved staying there. Catey was super friendly and shared some of the history of the chapel with us.
