Unique historical stay!
We were here for a Spartan race weekend. This beautiful refurbished church exceeded our expectations. It’s an experience in itself just getting to know the building and it’s historical beauty. Very clean, comfy and all amenities one would need. Janice and Garry were amazing hosts always available to help with any questions.
