This July 2025 review from Victor says it all:
"Our family had an incredible stay at this beautifully converted church. Every single detail of this property is incredibly top-notch, combining historic charm with modern luxury. Upon arrival, the complimentary snacks and beverages were a welcome treat that set the tone for our entire trip. The layout was absolutely perfect for our family. We loved the full kitchen and used the dining table for great family meals. The family room and giant TV were the center of our World Cup mini watch party. The guest bedrooms were spectacular and offered everyone a luxurious, comfortable night's sleep. Two spaces really stole the show for us: The Back Covered Deck: The absolute highlight of our stay and a perfect spot to relax outside. The Underground Lounge: This basement space was incredibly fun and became our go-to spot for playing board games and poker. The location could not be better. We were within easy walking distance to town and right in the center of all the activities."
BUGS:
This home is in close proximity to the Potomac River bordering a wooded area, which means you'll see mostly harmless bugs (gnats, ladybugs, box elder bugs, etc.) common to rural environments (sometimes even spiders) -- some that swarm the area randomly without warning. Even if guests are careful, some of those bugs may enter the house and are attracted to lights. The best way to minimize bugs inside is to keep doors and windows closed at all times. Even then, the building is 130 years old and not totally airtight.
By booking the property, guests acknowledge that encounters with insects or wildlife are possible and are not grounds for refunds or cancellations.
You'll also want to clear the kitchen each night and securely package all food.
If you need help removing any bugs that may appear, don't hesitate to contact the hosts.
