The space The space. The Cottage Atmosphere The Old Church Cottage is a unique home filled with love and memories and equipped with a modern kitchen, charcoal grill, heat and air conditioning, TV & DVD, Stereo, WiFi and washer/dryer. It began in 1900 as a Mennonite Church. We recently purchased the cottage from a family who restored the Cottage to its current modern state. The Cottage has been preserved to the original rustic charm while having modern conveniences. We enjoy visiting this property as it is a relaxing getaway from everyday life. We offer WiFi, allowing us to communicate with friends and family and find the trails we want to hike right from our cozy setting. The Cottage is a retreat designed to help us and our guests enjoy the landscape and environment. On a quiet street in a sparsely populated and quiet neighborhood, it is common to see people on horseback clomping down the street. Our neighbors next door and across the street are friendly and helpful. The Cottage features one master bedroom with a queen bed and a very large loft with a queen and four twin beds. It is perfect for a family or group of close friends. Please come and enjoy a trip whether you are a family or "girl wine weekend" or "boy beer weekend" with friends. Guest access Guest Access. Guests can enjoy our entire property - bedroom, loft, living space, front porch, back deck and hammock. When you arrive, you can park inside the gate on the left. Other things to note In 2020, we installed Wi-Fi to improve our communications onsite. Mountain Wi-Fi is a wonderful thing. Not always as crisp and fast as what we have back home. We hope you will be able to enjoy it! We also have a landline for local calls in Madison County to local restaurants, wineries, breweries and the like. Our street is a relatively quiet street with the only traffic coming from those who live in the area. We frequently walk the roads for a quiet easy hike in the hills. The neighbors are friendly. And you will sometimes see horseback riding and bicycling on the road. Wildlife is common! We have always committed to a safe, clean home. To ensure your safety, we now also follow Airbnb's enhanced cleaning protocol, which was developed with expert guidance. We employ a professional housekeeper who always uses protective gear and sanitizing materials to ensure everything is clean and safe. We also leave cleaning supplies for your use during your stay. The Graves Mountain Lodge Apple Festival is held the first three weekends in October, and they have other wonderful festivals and activities. Come on Friday and let the cottage be your home base, no driving required!
