Lovely stay

Beautiful, unique stay! Julie was really kind walking us through the ins and outs of the property during check-in. So much care and attention put into every room. And the book collection is amazing.

Peters Ark

We managed to pick a weekend with solid rain, so we were mostly stuck inside with two small children. They enjoyed the basket of instruments and areas to explore, and the five-year old wants to return. Be aware that this is not suitable for people with limited mobility. I am impressed by the cleanliness of this large place, plus the interesting art work.

A Unique Experience

It's quaint and beautiful, with lots of space. Cooking in that kitchen is a real treat. The courtyard is like an oasis. Not having a bathroom on the second floor is an inconvenience but would not dissuade me from returning.

An elegant place with a dream courtyard. All the bedrooms were awesome. The great room was a gathering spot, every night. This converted church is a relaxing and luxurious pleasure.

Church Des Artistes is absolutely lovely.

I went with a group of women for a weekend away of cooking, talking, sleeping, and enjoying the charming town of Kingston. Church Des Artistes was beyond anything I could have imagined in a home away from home for the weekend. The beds and couches were sink-in comfy and the kitchen was incredible - with darling plates and serving platters, and a huge cast iron stove, and the best morning sunshine to accompany a cup of tea on the farm kitchen table. The living room space is breathtaking. Every nook of this home if inspiring. Thank you to kind, open, and thoughtful owners Peter and Julie - we'll be back soon!!
