“A Room With A Pew:" A Historic Church Reimagined.

Through a labor of love, we’ve transformed this historic church into a spectacular retreat blending rustic charm with retro flair. Every detail was chosen intentionally, preserving the soul of the space while adding modern comforts. The original 100+-year-old hardwood floors have been lovingly restored, and the soaring ceilings, arched stained-glass windows, and remnants of the past create an atmosphere unlike any other.

Each suite is designed with privacy in mind, featuring its own bathroom, shower, and sink. The common area is cozy and welcoming, with multiple sitting spaces, quiet nooks, and a well-equipped kitchen and coffee bar.

Come experience the warmth, history, and character of this beautifully reimagined church. Let its past stories embrace you as you create new ones.

Coffee Bar Amenities: toaster, blender, toaster oven, hot plate, coffee pot, tea kettle, utensils, dishes, cups, wine glasses, coffee, tea, sugar, salt & pepper, and cooking oil.
