Built in 1887, this former convent has been beautifully renovated to create a unique getaway featuring exposed brick, beautiful hardwood floors, 11-ft ceilings on the first floor, and an abundance of natural light. This house is huge, with 5,400 square feet of living space for your group to enjoy! All bedrooms have queen beds, sitting areas, light-blocking curtains or blinds, and double-paned windows to maintain a quiet and peaceful environment for you. You'll get a great night's sleep!
The space Each of the three floors has its own new, efficient, and independent heating/cooling system, and the temperature in every bedroom can be adjusted to the preferences of individual guests.
With two large dining rooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, including commercial-grade and artisan coffee supplies, the Convent is perfect for your group.
No parties, please!
Guest access You'll be able to access the entire house except for a one bed, one bath apartment hidden away on the main floor, which has its own separate entrance and will be vacant during your stay unless you'd like access to it (available for an additional charge of $50 per night).
Other things to note We share an unfenced backyard and courtyard with the owners of a former Catholic rectory and with some urban farmers who tend parts of the yard. They’re all dear friends and if you're interested you can get breakfast made with fresh eggs and vegetables from the urban farm at For the Life of the World Café a block away! You’re nestled in the heart of a close-knit community of 100+ people, so it's not unusual to see a few people using the yard.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
