The games, bowling, shuffle board and TV for football watching was exactly what our family of 29 needed as we gathered. Clean kitchen with extra ice in the freezer, cooking essential with two ovens, made our gathering much easier. The two bedroom/two bath’s were comfortable and clean. What a great space!

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Wyerick

Host profile image
We're the Wyerick family (Brandon, Amanda, and our daughters), locals with deep roots in Fort Recovery. We transformed this 1940s chapel into Elm & Ivy to preserve its history while creating a special place for gatherings. Restoring this building has been our passion project, and we love helping guests discover the charm of our small town. As hosts, we enjoy sharing local recommendations and ensuring you have everything needed for a memorable stay in our unique historic venue.

Why they chose this property

Fort Recovery's historic downtown captured our hearts with its authentic small-town character and rich heritage. We chose this neighborhood because it perfectly balances quiet charm with convenient access to local attractions. We love strolling these streets where history is visible in every building, greeting neighbors by name, and being just steps from community events. The neighborhood's central location at the crossroads of SR-49 and SR-119 makes it ideal for visitors exploring our village or attending regional events, while still offering that peaceful hometown atmosphere that makes Fort Recovery special.

What makes this property unique

Our property offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience: an underground speakeasy-inspired hideaway tucked beneath a historic 1940s chapel. The Ivy Lounge combines authentic history with unexpected entertainment, featuring custom elements like our handcrafted shuffleboard table, convertible poker/bumper pool table, and innovative privacy wall system. Where else can you sleep in a venue that honors its chapel heritage while offering a secret getaway below? The blend of preserved architectural details with modern comforts creates a space that tells a story while providing a gathering place unlike anything else in the region. It's history you can actually stay in!
