The property was beautiful. There was ample room for eight people.The kitchen, as well as the amenities they provided which included the Keric, coffee pods, first aid kit were all extremely appreciated and needed (first aid - no fault of property).
We booked during hall of fame week and stayed here for easy access to the game. We had a group of 9 and had plenty of room. Did not feel like we were on top of each other at all. Fantastic space, very clean and comfortable. I was told I got the best booked rental award.
Amazing experience! Everything is exactly as described and located in a great little town with several walkable places to shop and dine. Host was always quick with responses. We’ve already booked another trip.
The 1903 Church in Bolivar is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful renovation of the church I grew up going to. Huge rooms with several sitting areas. Kitchen is knocked out and has all the items you will need.During the day, the light shines in through the original stained glass windows. Beyond extraordinary.Will definitely stay here again.
Very impressed with the whole experience. So clean. So much space. Perfect for what we needed. Small intimate wedding in the perfect church setting where family could stay. We would all definitely go again. Thanks Jonathan…
