Keep in mind this building is 100 Years old so there are some limitations on what we could do for remodeling. But when used as a church for 300 members it had half this many toilets. The entire party likely will not all be able to shower in the morning for an early event. Plan to stagger showers with the group at different times.

**Guests will have a code to come and go freely. (Please lock if you leave property.)

THINGS TO NOTE: This building is nearly 100 years old so there are some old timely quirks. We tried to keep authenticity where we could. The church is heated through boiler and radiant heat, including bedrooms. This heating method can produce hot pipes. When the heat turns on it tends to go quite warm, settles to a comfortable temperature then gets slightly chilly about 8 hours, at which point the boiler starts up again. Because of this, guests will not have access to change the heat. (Please pack accordingly, slippers or shorts :) The main and upstairs floors stay more evenly regulated on the cooler side. The downstairs stays warmer. Magically, the basketball gym manages to stay cooler than the rest of the building.

PARKING: There is room for 15 cars next to the building or across the north side. There is more room if you spread out up and down the block. Please be considerate of neighbors with parking and noise. They have been really great to us as we have restored this building and would like to keep it a positive experience all around.
There are no laundry rooms available to guests, however, there is a nice laundromat across the street.

CONCERNING PETS: dogs are allowed with a $200 fee per animal, MAX 2 per group. Service dogs stay free but you must provide us with its service number so it can be confirmed on the national service animal directory. Cats are not allowed.

Great place, needs some things fixed though
We stayed for a family reunion. Group of 32. we liked the game room, the gym, the kids and adults had a lot of fun in there The rooms were good size, the beds were comfortable. Plenty of room to sit around and play games or visit. Things that need to be fixed. It is an old building as stated on the listing, there are limited outlets in the bedrooms. Most rooms only have 1 outlet by the light switch by the door no outlets by the bed. We bought extension cords. The first night the breaker kept tripping, at least a dozen times where we had to go flip the switches to get the basement bedroom power back on and the AC unit. There were 2 AC units running that we think kept tripping them one in the kitchen area and one in the bedroom at the end of the hall of the basement bedrooms. Once we turned those off it stopped tripping the breaker so we just ran 2 fans, We had 4 people with Cpap machines and one on oxygen so before bedtime we moved people around so they would be on different breakers so they wouldn’t go off in the night. The next day we just left the AC units off downstairs and just ran the fans and the breaker only tripped once when we turned 1 basement AC unit on. The 2nd night sewage came up thru drains in the mens and unisex bathroom so we all had to use the woman’s bathroom. 2 of the fridges weren’t as cool, not sure if it was the breaker issue we moved everything to 1 fridge. If they can fix the electrical/breaker issue and plumbing it’s a great place for a group.

Great for Large Groups
Kept 30 family members ages 1-77 entertained with plenty to do. The description says kitchen, bathrooms are all downstairs but not that the basement is not ada accessible. If you have anyone bound to wheelchair, they will not be able to go downstairs With that said, we would absolutely stay there again with a large group knowing we would have to work around stairs as the only option.

Family Reunion
This was an amazing place for a large family reunion. There was so much space and with the gym, play area, and toys, there was so much for kids of all ages to do. The kitchen with 2 large refrigerator/freezers made it easy to keep all our food and there are plenty of bedrooms for so many people. Again, just a wonderful location to stay!!

Family Reunion
Had enjoyable family reunion. Space provided fun activities for teenagers and children. The nearby Clean Museum and Lava Hot Springs were enjoyed by all. Outdoor space around property was lacking, but parks and hiking trails within an easy drive. No individual bathroom facilities in space.

Web site is not correct
The listing on the website is not correct. It states there are 5 full bathroom. There are only 3,including the new part one bathroom. None of the main floor bedrooms or the Plum room had sheets. The plum room only had a queen bed. Site says it also has to singles. Kitchen was great.
