The property was amazing! The renovations are stunning and we had plenary of room for our two families to enjoy their stay. We enjoyed evening cocktails at the outdoor dining area nightly and had a night of smores at the fire pit. The place is beautiful and we had everything we needed. Adam was fantastic at answering questions and we loved our time at the church. We’d definitely stay there again.l! Theresa

Loved our stay

We had an amazing time here for a mini-family reunion. The hosts seemed to think of everything and were very kind and easy to communicate with and quick with their responses. We stayed there over the holidays and loved that there was even a Christmas tree and some garland to enjoy - so thoughtful! We cooked together, did puzzles, played games, enjoyed hot chocolate by the fireplace - it was great!

Dog friendly getaway

We loved the property and everything went extremely smoothly. I believed the property to be fenced in so our pup could safely roam. I would say it is partially fenced so we did end up having to tether our good boy on the lawn. Highly recommend this rental!

Family get-together

I booked this unique property a year in advance and invited my adult children and their partners to join us. The place is so amazing. Decorated with such care and eye for detail. And outside the dining table under the oak tree with lights and the fire pit were perfect. It is not “on the water” but such easy access to local beaches made up for it. I high recommend the Prince Edward County Church.

Girls’ Get Away

Lovely large property. Fire pit area provided a great social evening our first night. Mosquitos eventually forced us inside. This renovated church was perfect for our girls’ get away. Just a gem of a place, so unique -large open spaces- perfect for socializing. Everyone was so impressed. Our host Adam provided all we needed to know ahead of time about the property and was easily reached by email for any questions and responded promptly. I would highly recommend this unique property.
