Family Gathering

We enjoyed the ability to have our family gather in a joint space with a common area that was well equipped and spacious! The accommodations were not unique, vintage, and comfortable. Thank you!

Great Stay!

Overall a great place to stay with a large group. There is plenty of space for everybody and it’s in such a great location. We were able to walk to downtown for dinner. The beds were also comfortable. Some cons, the house has strict quiet hours because the walls are thin and old church echos. We were able to hear the other tenants laughing and walking around so I’m sure they were also able to hear us as well. Although we were both respectful of the quiet hours so it worked out. The bathroom and one of the bedroom doors down stairs wouldn’t stay closed so we had to put towels down in front of the door in order to keep them closed. Overall, a great place to gather with friends and family and it is cool to be staying in an old church. Host also responded quickly when needed. Would stay again!

Well, just about everything stood out. We love the layout of the house. We love the fact that it’s a converted church. We love all the finishings. The house had so much character. It was probably the coolest place we’ve ever stayed at with VRBO. It was so close to everything we didn’t have to get in our car except for maybe a couple of times.. We will definitely be staying there again.

The property is great, very spacious, but we were in the largest space available. It is such a neat property. Our only conerns were that the lights and fans did not work in several areas. In addition it is very obvious that whoever manages the property never actually goes on sight. There were full mailboxes, Christmas decorations in spring and a ladder with paint tools where the outdoor living area was supposed to be. Also, someone had dumped a salad at the entrance that was rotten. Overall it is a good property in a great location that can accomodate a good group.

Tried to communicate with Ryan the host prior to the stay and again when there were issues during the stay. Never responded to either contact. Only contact was to tell us how to access the facility and how to check out- both appeared to be automated.Next door tenants were loud all night and we were not able to communicate the issue to host.Cleanliness was lacking- nasty bathtub. No hot water in other bathroom with shower.Other tenants parked in our designated space because constuction workers were parked in their space. We had to wedge in behind and play musical cars.Not welcoming at check in. Front door and entrance where blocked by construction, front steps and door were dirty. Not even so much as a bottle of water available in fridge. Would never recommend this facility.
