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!
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!
Three years ago, we embarked on a journey to create a place where everyone is welcome regardless of the shape of the road that led you or the destination that lies ahead. The work of staying the course has rarely been easy but it has always been good.
As a family we strive to keep Love at the very center of our life, love for ourselves, each other and for those we have been given the privilege to care for- for however long that may be. Our hope is that we may share a small piece of the home we have found in each other, with you.
