This church was originally built in 1904 using land donated by General Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs to his stable hand, Mr. Bass to build one of the first African-American church in Colorado Springs. The church was built in the Queen Anne style and served as a significant building for the congregation and civil rights movement in the Midwest throughout the early 1900's. This property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. As a local family, we learned about this vacant property and spent several years painstakingly renovating and preserving the historic nature. We look forward to sharing the amazing history and welcoming you to our historical home.

RESPECT TOWARD NEIGHBORS:
We love to welcome guests that are seeking a quiet and restful setting. The neighborhood is home to longtime neighbors and we expect that guests will be respectful of the surrounding environment. If you're seeking to party or have kids that will not respect neighboring properties, this is likely not the right home for you. To help maintain a tranquil setting, we use a noise monitoring device which is 100% privacy compliant and endorsed by VRBO. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) so that our home is being used for residential purposes, not wild parties. We look forward to hosting you at our Church House.
RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Upon reservation confirmation, Guest will need to complete a Rental Agreement which outlines the terms and conditions for use of our property. This is the same as the terms listed on VRBO but we require your signature as a condition of our permit with the city.

This property is immaculate!!! First time user of a rental property in the VRBO format - EVERYTHING was top notch - being in a wheelchair is difficult to find accommodations - any others with mobility issues-look no further - this Church has it all - the BEST 2 months ever!!! Kudos to Michelle and Ryan for a beautifully renovated Property-a definite must if in Colorado Springs- can’t say enough good things about our home away from home!!!

Staying at the converted church in Colorado Springs was such a unique experience for my family! We booked it for a short getaway with my wife and our 1.5-year-old daughter, and it turned out to be just perfect for us.
First off, the open concept of the place was awesome. The high ceilings and spacious layout gave us plenty of room to move around, which was great with a little one who loves to explore. The decor was a nice blend of modern touches and some cool remnants of the church's history, which added to the charm without feeling too kitschy.
Cleanliness was definitely on point—always a big plus when traveling with a toddler. We felt comfortable letting her roam around, knowing everything was well-maintained and tidy.
Another big highlight was the location. There were some really nice parks nearby, which was perfect for us to take our daughter out to play and stretch her legs. It made the whole trip feel more like a local experience rather than just staying in a generic hotel.
Overall, we had a great time. It offered a comfortable and interesting stay that suited our little family perfectly. If you're looking for something different and memorable in Colorado Springs, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

We stayed here 6 nights as part of an 18-day trip through Colorado. Our primary purposes were 1) do challenging day hikes; 2) cook breakfast and a multi-course dinner in the evenings. In short: this home is absolutely fantastic, a super deal for the price and we would definitely want to stay here again if visiting Colorado Springs.
This wonderful home – converted church meets spacious loft - made us feel like we were in our own home. The design touches were unique and cool. The main room was a fantastic, roomy place to relax in the afternoon after a long hike. The “mud” room at the back door was a great place to store our Dometic cooler, shoes and backpacks. The kitchen and island was outstanding: high end appliances, extensive selection of cooking utensils, great oven, gas cooktop and vent hood, great dishwasher. It even has filtered (reverse osmosis) water - both hot and cold. The bed and shower were comfortable. The location was perfect for our hikes (to the north, south and west). We communicated several times with the owner, who was super-responsive.
Two minor notes. There is only a regular coffee maker (we brought our preferred pod coffee machine). We grilled 3 times; the grill is conveniently located on the balcony but in direct sunlight in the evenings (and there was a heat wave during our visit) so grilling was a bit “toasty”.

Literally so Peaceful and Quiet!! Excellent communication with host, my husband being a workaholic enjoyed the desk area. House had everything we would have in our home to make it welcoming. Absolutely luv’d the fact that it had top notch Hand soap and Shampoo and Conditioner. It’s the small things that makes it a 5 STAR HOME ❤️❤️

From the point of contact, and throughout my stay I was treated like a rockstar. The Church was incredible on the inside, with a layout that was perfect for my needs. The attention to detail was exquisite, and the architecture was unbelievable.
