Converted Historical Church: 2 king bed suites, gourmet kitchen, wheelchair acss

This church was originally built in 1904 using land donated by General Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs to his stable hand, Mr. Bass to build one of the first African-American church in Colorado Springs. The church was built in the Queen Anne style and served as a significant building for the congregation and civil rights movement in the Midwest throughout the early 1900's. This property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. As a local family, we learned about this vacant property and spent several years painstakingly renovating and preserving the historic nature. We look forward to sharing the amazing history and welcoming you to our historical home.

This is the ultimate vacation getaway!

RESPECT TOWARD NEIGHBORS:
We love to welcome guests that are seeking a quiet and restful setting. The neighborhood is home to longtime neighbors and we expect that guests will be respectful of the surrounding environment. If you're seeking to party or have kids that will not respect neighboring properties, this is likely not the right home for you. To help maintain a tranquil setting, we use a noise monitoring device which is 100% privacy compliant and endorsed by VRBO. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) so that our home is being used for residential purposes, not wild parties. We look forward to hosting you at our Sport Haus.

RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Upon reservation confirmation, Guest will need to complete a Rental Agreement which outlines the terms and conditions for use of our property. This is the same as the terms listed on VRBO but we require your signature as a condition of our permit with the city.
