chapel stay
It was perfect. It had everything we needed. The kids loved the loft. Ginger was great, we accidentally locked ourselves out and she was quick to respond. It was very quiet and comfortable.
This little renovated church is just the cutest place! We enjoyed our stay at the church!! Had all the amenities we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone to stay at the chuch!!
Perfect communal space for siblings, cousins, in-laws to eat food, play games, laugh and enjoy access to the amazing trail system in the area. Can’t wait to come back again!!
Loved the refurbished church, located near the river for our first fishing experience in a river. Location was close to many restaurants and Jack’s canoe/kayaking(another first)
We stayed here for the Birkie events. Awesome location, clean, easy check in, everything we needed! Pretty sure this property used to be Riverbrook ski shop and is iconic!
This was our second stay at this property and we love it. Kids love the mattresses in the loft and hang there. Two bedrooms for adults, although wish there were larger beds. Great location for all of our adventures.
It was super quaint! Had 2 families and the kids loved sharing the loft! Wonderful location near snowmobile trails and skiing. Did tons of outdoor stuff and kids want to come again!
Very unique property. Easy check in and out, clear instructions with the management. Good location close to Hayward and Cable. The house had what we needed for a quick trip. Right next to a good restaurant, fish fry was great.

Girls Retreat
We all loved this quaint retreat that we walked into! From a basket full of treats, to plenty of blankets, towels, body washes, shampoos, hand soaps, mixed matched fun pattern dishes! Close to walking trails, mini golf and lots of shopping and restaurants.
Thank you for sharing with us!
From the owner: "We’re sorry the internet was down during your stay. We acted immediately, but a technician confirmed the issue was with the provider’s off-site equipment. The WiFi was fixed as quickly as possible, and we also offered a fair resolution as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience. We remain committed to providing smooth and enjoyable stays for all our guests."
