It is a beautifully remodeled church! Well done and was comfortable with 11 of us. It worked well having the family together for my grandma's funeral.

We found this listing when looking for a good place for our large family Christmas gathering. 10 adults and two kids. This place fit our needs beautifully, and it was nice to be in a Christmas themed town. The house was decorated for Christmas and there was lots of room for gifts under the big tree. We got to eat at the Brazen Bull, and had brought food for other meals and bought some at the local grocery store because we know places would be closed for the holidays. The new Prairie Rose was open for brunch but we didn't have a chance to check it out during this trip. We attended a candle light service at a nearby local church which was lovely. The hosts were always very responsive and when we asked about services and events in town, they gathered flyers and information about events in town for us to view when we arrived. The upstairs rooms do have the high ceilings and walls don't go all the way up, as noted in other reviews. Not an issue for us except sound carries easily, so earplugs are a good idea if you go to bed early. We ate all our big meals at the large dining table, and played games and did puzzles at that table and the one in the breakfast nook. The "child's room" is a great coat and shoe closet! The downstairs was cozy and perfect for kids to hang out, especially in the mornings. The beds were comfy, except the pull out bed. The bathroom sinks were pretty high up, so a step stool might be needed. Overall an amazing stay and we would love to come back!

This was a beautiful little place to get together with great people. It was relaxing weekend. The owners were ready to teach when we needed them. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Oh my gosh! We all loved it. 6 adults, 1 18 yr old and a 7 yr old and an 8 yr old. My family! We loved the setup. The kids could get away from us and loved the downstairs, particularly the record player! We picked up pizza the first night and the rest of the time, we cooked our own meals. Everything we needed to do that was available. The decor was cute as a button. We really had time to reconnect and hug on each other which is what "Meemaw" looks forward to each year.

An absolutely quaint spot in the middle of superman Kansas nowhere! Everything inside was modern, attractive, and easy to use. The owners forgot nothing. The scavenger hunt was fun and we really appreciated the mug! The main bed was exceptionally cozy, the bathtub was soothing, and the living room was refreshingly spacious. The ginormous TV was great for movies. If we get the chance, we will definitely return! May Christ continue to bless the owners and residents to come!

This place was beautiful for a festive Christmas gathering with our family! We are from Colorado and my parents are from Illinois, so this little place was the halfway point. There isn’t much to do in the area but we didn’t mind at all, we just loved spending time together at the home. The kids loved doing the scavenger hunt for the old church items that the owner had left for us to do. We were able to place presents under the tree and do a full Christmas dinner with the well appointed kitchen. There was plenty of space, the kids could hang out in the basement while the adults played cards or watch a movie. We will absolutely do this again! Thank you!

We had a great stay with friends - met halfway between our homes in Colorado and Eastern Kansas. Beautifully restored church that is well equipped for a group to spend time together. Kids and adult both had a great time! Very clean and well stocked, spacious. Festively decorated for Christmas too, so fun! Will definitely be staying again.

Kirch Haus was fabulous! We have a reunion every year, and we all agree that this was the best VRBO ever. There were 10 of us and we had ample room. We were in the area to research our ancestry. Come to fine out, we had a relative right across the street! If it wasn't so far, we'd be back for the Christma lighting.

Wedding weekend
We booked the Kirch Hus for the weekend of our wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The bride and bridesmaids stayed Friday night and were able to get ready for the wedding Saturday morning there. The space was extraordinary. Plenty of beds and bathrooms and open space for such a beautiful wedding morning. The local hairstylists were able to come in and do hair and makeup there. I can only imagine how beautiful the pictures will be! Then Saturday night the bride and groom were able to stay there after the wedding reception. There’s no more beautiful place to get to stay for the weekend of a wedding in the area! We just could not recommend the place enough! Everything was stellar.

We were in Wakeeney for a wedding and this property worked really well for us! Loved how they renovated the church into a beautiful space. The one thing you should be aware of is lack of privacy in the open ceiling bedrooms and bathrooms on the main floor. It was okay with my family but might be awkward with friends.
Overall great space and loved the stained glass windows and well stocked kitchen.

The property was charming and unique. The space was well-done and very comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the space laid out well for families. The town has a nice park for kids. We took all of our own meals and that worked out well. We will go back, as it’s an easy meeting place for our family located in KS and CO.

This was a very nice spot for our family to stay as we explored the western Kansas rock formations, and wildlife areas. The overhaul on the church is amazing with very nice amenities. Tons of space, and modern setup. Loved the backstory and history of the place. Thank you!!

As a member of the original church growing up, this location holds a special place in our hearts. The renovation from church to VRBO was thoughtful and well done. Although it lacks privacy, the spacious and beautiful gathering spaces make it perfect for family gatherings.

Very unique and gorgeous inside
Absolutely beautiful and special place. The owners did a wonderful job turning this into what is essentially a luxury accommodation in a quaint small town. Would have liked to stay longer and hope to return some day as we did not get to enjoy it as much as we’d hoped.

A wonderful, unique property!!
Our family of five met my mother and brother in WaKeeney because it was halfway between us. This was a perfect place to spend New Years eve together! It is truly unique, and the owners have done a truly wonderful job of renovating the church to a VRBO property. The pictures could not do it justice! It was super cold the weekend we were there, and we had travel plan changes due to one of our kids being sick. The manager and owners were super flexible and responsive. They left a welcome package that included some treats for the kids. We will definitely book this again if we are passing through WaKeeney, and is very convenient to I-70. We definitely recommend it, and it is great for family gatherings. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful & Historical Place to Stay
We had a group of 4 couples, old high school friends who grew up in WaKeeney and Ellis. Great place for our annual holiday get-together! The church has been carefully restored, with all the stained-glass windows remaining, arched ceilings, and a pew or two inside for seating, all making for a peaceful effect. Holiday decorations were lovely. The kitchen was very well-appointed, and there were multiple places to gather and chat. Easy to get into, and owners are local WaKeeney residents who communicated with us several times. One slight downside: Because of the church's high ceilings, the divider walls between the common room, bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs don't go to the ceiling (but there's still privacy), so at times it can be a little noisy. But all things considered, a really welcoming, unique and fairly-priced place to stay for a large family or group of friends.
