This was our second time staying at this property, and we had another great experience! The host is friendly, responsive, and accommodating, and the property is beautiful, spacious, unique, well-stocked, and exactly as pictured! We will definitely be back again!
We stayed here with our if town family for our daughter’s wedding. The church was the perfect space for her to prepare for the big day. The host responded to all questions prior to stay promptly. Would absolutely stay here again.

Everything was great and as described. Was definitely the most unique place we have stayed, and would absolutely recommend.
What a unique and beautiful place to stay. Beautiful great room in the middle of the church. 3 great bedrooms and easy access to rear parking and entrance. Look forward to being back next time we visit. Host was great communicator and friendly. Thanks Tony.
This property is beautiful, unique, comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen has plenty of supplies, and there are multiple grocery stores within 10 minutes or less. From the initial booking to the final checkout, the host was kind, responsive, and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to be back again!
We absolutely loved staying here for a girl’s weekend! Plenty of room to spread out and comfy furniture. Would definitely recommend it and we may even return to it too!
GREAT! The kitchen was easy to keep clean and well stocked with utensils. Pantry had S&P, some olive oil and a few other helpful items. COFFEE, takes drip coffee or you can grind your own. We used Folgers black and were surprised at how good it was. The beds were very comfortable. Tony provides an info book, very helpful. The only thing to know is if you have a big suv or van, parking is tight. There is another place to park just to the right of the driveway, which is easier. Tony is awsome, quick to answer any question. Great stay. Thank you.
Everyone had some space to be private and to gather. How much fun to stay in a Methodist church, an inspiration. Thank you for writing about it in the guest book.
Wow!!! This place was amazing and an absolute charm. We needed a place for a family of 6 and this fit our needs perfectly!! My family loves history and architecture so this was the best of both. The premises is clean, organized, and beautiful. The gothic style with high ceilings is a true classic—even the teenager came out of the room to join the family in a few rounds of cards. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. I’ve stayed in many places but none as unique and eclectic as this. Thank you for sharing your place with us! We appreciate your hospitality!
Tony is absolutely incredible - he is kind, timely and very accommodating. We went in the middle of a snow storm and don't regret it 1 bit. The rental is awesome and has lots of great historic features. It's a great location and the beds are so comfortable! Our 1 year old enjoyed the provided walker and extra space - would absolutely recommend!
Our family of 10 stayed here for the weekend of our son’s wedding. We also used the outdoor lawn for the rehearsal dinner. It was an awesome space! The only thing that I would critique is that it would have been nice to have a few more bath towels, and kitchen towels for our large group. The place was Marc. Our children and their guests were very impressed. The location is amazing and the venue is gorgeous if you are entertaining a group. The owners were extremely accommodating and easy to work with!
The host was on top of things from booking. He provided welcoming text messages, an avenue to contact if there were any issues and prompt replies. This was such a unique place to stay and was within walking distance to downtown Covington and Cincinnati.
The church is so beautiful and spacious! The kitchen is large and had all the equipment we needed to cook and dishes for serving and eating. The rooms are large and the beds were very comfortable, lots of pillows. Plenty of seating for everyone to hang out and not be crowded. We loved the location close to the river front and there was ample parking for several vehicles. We will definitely use this space again, loved it! And the host was great!

Means a lot thank you all!! Would love to have you back, safe travels!
We have family in Northern Kentucky and were in town for a family reunion. The church was a really neat place to stay and was only a short drive to the places we were visiting. The large, indoor plants were impressive! The owners were attentive with any questions or needs we had.
Tony is an exceptional host and was very attentive. The rental was nothing short of extraordinary in of itself. Boasting historic architecture, stained glass windows, and even a free bag of roasted coffee beans from Tony' families local coffee shop, "Mom 'n 'em", to accompany the stay. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to return myself.

You rock Joe!! Looking forward to hosting again. Happy holidays
The host did a great job of communicating before, during, and at the end of the stay. Instructions for where to park, how to work the blinds, etc., were clear and concise. Everything went as planned.
The kitchen was better equipped than many rentals we have used. We loved the large dining table that seated our entire large group! The listing statement that is sleeps 12 was misleading. The sleeper sofas mentioned were just sofas. But we made it work! The host answered questions promptly and was very kind.
This place is huge and great for hosting a larger group or event, with a few bedrooms for overnight stays. We loved the large plants and the space heated up well. It’s an old church building, which was unique, but the many doors and the unfamiliar neighborhood made my family a bit uneasy. The shower took some figuring out. The host was excellent—very responsive and checked in with us, which we appreciated.
We were in town for a family wedding and stayed at this amazing property. The architecture was stunning, it was incredibly spacious, roomy, and fun. The woodwork was beautiful. Everything was spotless and well-maintained. The location was great and easily accessible to every event we attended. I would stay here again. My teenage son suggested maybe making an indoor basketball court. Great property!
