A Charming Retreat for Relaxation and Reflection

Welcome to our beautifully restored 19th-century church, where historic charm meets modern comfort. Perfect for families, this unique home offers three cozy bedrooms and plenty of space to relax and reconnect. Stylish furnishings and serene outdoor areas create a memorable retreat for all.

The main living area boasts soaring high ceilings, giving an airy feel to the space, while the well-equipped kitchen invites you to craft delicious meals. Gather in the cozy living room by the fireplace for quality time or unwind after a day of adventure. The dining room offers stunning views of the surrounding hills, making every meal a delight.

Step outside to experience the rolling hills of Jo Daviess County from the patio, complete with a grill and an entertainment area. Stroll around the property to find a secluded garden with a charming gazebo courtyard, perfect for quiet moments. In the fall, enjoy the cozy outdoor firepit as you take in breathtaking sunsets from the private backyard.

The two smaller bedrooms on the main floor showcase restored church features, including stunning stained-glass windows and ceiling fans. They share a central bathroom, adding to the home’s convenience and charm. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom suite offers an intimate sanctuary. Grand folding doors separate it from the main space, leading to a private patio and an adjoining bathroom.

Original wood paneling lines the staircase wall, and an interior balcony with a church pew overlooks the living and kitchen areas, adding a unique touch to your stay. Come and enjoy this one-of-a-kind retreat, where every detail invites relaxation and discovery.

Added Bonus: Host your micro wedding at the enchanting Little White Church. With accommodations for up to 10 guests, a spacious lawn overlooking the rolling hills of Jo Daviess County, a private gazebo in a stone-paved courtyard, and additional lawn space for gatherings, it's the perfect setting for your special day.

Exchange vows in a beautifully intimate atmosphere, surrounded by loved ones and the serene beauty of this one-of-a-kind location.
Dog policy: $50 per animal. If there will be more than 1 dog, please reach out for approval. Thanks!
