Romantic Retreat
5/5 Everything was just as pictured. What a beautiful, peaceful, serene place. We had a couples getaway and enjoyed every second. The accommodations and area were both perfect. I highly recommend this little chapel and hope to stay again one day!

5/5 We had a fantastic time and a very comfortable stay. Waynesville, a darling mountain town just 15 minutes away; filled with shopping and wonderful restaurants. We spent a day reading and relaxing in the mountain tranquility of the Chapel. We will definitely be coming again.

Precious family getaway
5/5 I reserved the chapel as a unique weekend getaway for my daughters 13th birthday. We were in love with this place as soon as we opened the front door. What a beautiful, inviting space to getaway and relax. The history of the chapel, the flooring, the stained glass windows, and all of the other original pieces and details, truly made this space remarkable. We spent the weekend soaking up the gorgeous mountain views and enjoying one anothers company. Sometimes when we take a trip, we spend too much time on activities but this weekend was full of family moments, relaxation and precious memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We will definitely be back!
And….my daughter wanted me to add that the swing in the living room was amazing! She absolutely loved it!
