Chose this authentic loft apartment because of a long time dream of restoring and renovating an old Church into a home. It did not disappoint. If you enjoy history and appreciate a labor of love, this is the place for you. You'll find peace and serenity here. The pictures of the loft are as you'll find it. It is very clean and extra precautions are taken right now due to the pandemic. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and listening to the water feature in the pond below. The hosts, Janice and Garry, are very warm and welcoming. They greeted us upon arrival, made themselves available to answer any questions we had, and offered helpful information on places to visit in neighboring towns. It was a wonderful area to explore. We would highly recommend a stay here.
