This 1890s Church Turned AirBNB in Southern Indiana is the Perfect Fall Getaway

This stunning little country church has been cozied up in peaceful Grandview, Indiana since it was first built in 1890. Once it was no longer serving a congregation, it began to slowly fade away among overgrown brush becoming unkempt and sad. That is until it was purchased in 2022 and given a much-needed update by a previous owner.

Converted to a 3-bedroom and 1.5-bath residential space, you can now see the life breathed back into the spirit of the old rundown church. A fresh coat of paint, and countless hours of hard work later, this beauty has even surpassed her former glory. The original wood floors and charming stained glass windows have been restored to let in the gorgeous natural light that surrounds.

Owners Emily and Scott Walters are two of the most kind folks with the biggest hearts for people. They have both had lifelong careers in guest experience industries, so with their background, they know how to make your stay special. They've thought of everything from water bottles on the bedside table, blankets and supplies for the firepit, and even some toiletries and hair tools in the bathroom.

 Some friends and I stayed here earlier in the year, and it was the most peaceful escape. We played games, cooked delicious meals, and made friends with the longhorn, long-haired cow that lives next door. (His name is Bentley.) Everything was beautiful and comfortable which is exactly what you want for a relaxing getaway.

We also played music on the record player and danced around with our wine and snacks. Every detail in every room seems thoughtfully placed. I love the nods to the original vintage nature of the church mixed with the modern elements that make it clean and sleek.

I love the stained glass in the unique windows featured in every room. The cozy bedrooms provide a nice place to get a good night's rest without the hustle and bustle of city noises. You'll only hear a rooster at the house next door. The inside of the church is a stunning open concept with incredible 20-foot ceilings. These are my favorite kinds of places to stay. Everyone can spend quality time together with plenty of space.

Named the Grandview Storehouse, this hideaway sits on 1.7 acres in Southern Indiana. Only about 15 minutes from Lincoln State Park or Holiday World making it a great option for a weekend trip. Have some fun with the family and then relax by the fire pit or in the hot tub after a busy day.

 If you need a quick escape from "the real world" I can't think of a more perfect place. Here is the Grandview Storehouse website where you can see more beautiful pictures and book your stay. For us, it was a 10/10 experience.
