All things were great! Relaxing facilities, responsive host, and super comfortable bed! Host was spot on with all things pre-visit, during visit and as we departed.
The space was so well thought out and welcoming. I love all the art on the walls and the decorations. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials, and the large bathroom was convenient. Close to town but so still, so quiet and peaceful.
We had a wonderful stay at the Thomas Chapel House! The location was perfect and the setting absolutely beautiful. The home had great amenities and everything we needed to be comfortable. It was incredibly peaceful and restful—exactly what we were looking for. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back!
The Thomas Chapel was an absolutely amazing experience! A sanctuary amidst a snow storm, it was warm and cozy, making for a perfect trip. Daniel was an absolute joy to work with and made sure we were all good to go. I am so grateful for him extending the stay for us when we weren’t sure we could leave with the snow and ice on the roads. Would wholeheartedly, enthusiastically recommend this wonderful space to all travelers!
Our stay in the Thomas Chapel went well beyond our expectations! Very clean and neat. The host was excellent and right there if you needed him. Loved the history behind the Thomas Chapel. Would definitely recommend!
We had a wonderful relaxing visit. The chapel was extremely clean, and the kitchen / bathroom had all that was needed. Great coffee selection!Daniel was an extremely polite host and had great communications. We have been sharing pictures with our friends and family, and they are amazed at the uniqueness of the chapel concept. 5 stars all around!!!
