Overview
3 Bedrooms, 1 loft, 2.5 Bathrooms, Sleeps 9
Chandler Riggs' (Carl's) parents invite you to their beautiful 2400 square ft home that was originally a church! Built in 1890, the church was converted to a home in the early 2000's. The home is one block from the quaint town of Senoia (which is better known as Woodbury from the show), where you will find dozens of shops and restaurants. You will also be within a few blocks of the Alexandria set, as well as the pudding house, the coma house, and other memorable set locations. The church house was featured in the movie Pet Sematary 2. And as an added bonus, the home has a real grave in the side yard, where a confederate soldier is buried.
When you enter the home, prepare to be in awe of the beautiful stained glass window in the kitchen. The main living space boasts 15 ft. ceilings with an antique chandelier. The kitchen is fully stocked. The kitchen is open to the living/eating area where you'll find the walls adorned with art given to Chandler by his fans. A 65" tv is mounted to the wall and you'll find the furniture to be an interesting mix of both antique and new. The original preacher's chair was saved with the church and sits in one of the two foyers.
With 3 bedrooms, one loft, and 2.5 baths, there's ample space for up to 9 guests to sleep comfortably. The master bedroom sits where the preacher's pulpit was originally located. The king sized bed is flanked by two beautiful stained glass windows, and you will be able to see the markings on the floor where the pulpit platform once was. The room also includes an en suite bathroom with a tub, shower, two vanities, separate WC, and a walk-in closet.
The second bedroom has a queen sized bed with beautiful luxury farmhouse-style bedding and a walk-in closet. The third bedroom has a twin size daybed with a trundle. There is also a small loft in this room with a twin sized mattress. This room has a walk-in closet.
A spiral staircase leads to a bonus loft area where you'll find a twin daybed with a trundle.
There is one full hallway bathroom and one powder room.
For Walking Dead fans in town for tours, or for guests who are just looking for a unique place to get away, this house is one of a kind!

Why Gina-Ann Riggs chose Georgia
We have spent many days in the quaint town of Senoia and have grown to love it. We were so excited the day we saw that the church house was for sale. Senoia is swarming with tourists and there are not many options for places to stay. We are happy to offer our beautiful home for guests to get to know this town that we have grown to love.
What makes this house unique
The home is located in the historic district of Senoia. It was originally the Presbyterian Church of Senoia, built in 1890. There is a grave in the side yard. Captain Thomas Peavy was one of the only confederate soldiers from the area to survive the Civil War. The home was featured in the movie Pet Sematary 2. It is one block from Main St. and two blocks from the set of The Walking Dead. Once you are here, no car is needed!

Exceptional!

Great location, beautiful home
This renovated church is beautiful. The house was comfortable with lots of little touches to make it feel like you were at home.
Restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance.
If you're a walking dead fan, the decor is extra fun with fan art and WD themed games.
No Malicious Spirits
We were at the church for an extended stay. I was told by a witch that the place had spirits but only good ones. Witnessed some anomalies but nothing unexplainable for a place that old. Nothing creepy. Slept like a baby. Your mileage may very.
Totally updated and nicely appointed. Very comfortable and homey. Love the chandelier! Good luck beating my score on the pinball machine.
Dish TV. Dishes, soaps, towels, flatware, land-line phone, and most everything you might need are already there. Literally a four minute walk from one of the best restaurants in town.
this church house saved my life
I picked the church house last minute as i had to flee Florida because of Hurricane Irma. I picked something near the airport and booked it. I was in for quite the surprise between being next to the Walking Dead set, in Chandler Rigg's (Carl's!) family's house and hearing that Irma found me after all. A tree came crashing down across the front yard of the house all the way to the steps of the 200 year old sanctuary.
Another crashed on a house next door taking out most of the roof.
But I was safe in the church house. Thanks to the Riggs family! I will definitely be back!
Sincerely

Wonderful church house in a great town
The converted church is tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings and beds. Easy walk to town for food and quaint shops. A must for Walking Dead fans!
Such a beautiful home
We really enjoyed our stay at "The Church House." It is a beautiful home in a great location. We loved being able to walk to everything in town. Thank you to the owners for having us.
Perfect for fans of The Walking Dead
Being huge Walkind Dead fans, we loved the cool decorations in the house! It is perfect for a large family or group. We will definitely be staying here in our next visit to Senoia!
Map
If you stand on the front porch of the house and look to the right, you'll see the walls of the fictional town of Alexandria. Filming is typically going on from May - November. There are several Walking Dead tours to choose from. If you're there on a Saturday, we'd recommend our tour, Dad's Zombie Road Trip. See riggstours.com for more info.
