Stay Overnight In A Repurposed 19th-Century Church Right Here In Indiana

Sometimes, you come upon something (or somewhere) that absolutely seems too good to be true; sometimes, it is too good to be true, but others, you end up finding someplace amazing that you find yourself drawn to time and time again. We found a gorgeous and unique Airbnb in Indiana that checks that box: seems to be way too amazing, but it’s legit. Check it out and see why this little church should be your new home away from home:

From the outside, it doesn't look like much - but don't let that fool you.

You know all the things they say about judging a book by its cover; you'd be doing yourself a disservice to judge this stay by its exterior.
Once you set foot inside, you won't believe this little place was originally built in 1872!

Of course, it's been modernized all over on the inside, and it's got all the amenities you've likely come to expect, like high-speed wifi and a full kitchen.
The highly-modernized interior seems to be at odds with the quaint, old-school exterior.

We think it might be that odd juxtaposition that draws us to this little place the most. We're big fans of eccentric charm, and this little church-turned-overnight-stay is home to plenty of that.
Outdoors, you'll find a firepit, stunning forestry, and plenty of peace and quiet.

The listing is nearby beautiful Lake Monroe, the largest lake whose shores are entirely within Indiana. Come out and watch a sunrise or two while you're here; it's worth getting up early for.
The sunsets, too, are pretty amazing when conditions are right.

This little Midwestern church getaway (we're not sure we ever thought we'd combine those words, but hey, crazy things happen and this one just so happens to be lovely) is ideal for couples and small groups of friends looking to get away for a weekend, a week, or longer.
It's super cozy and, thankfully, is quite affordable, charging just over $110 per night before fees and whatnot.

We're not the first to notice this unique Airbnb in Indiana; it's been crowned as being among the best in the nation by Indianapolis Monthly and other reliable publications.
If you'd rather come alone to practice some self-care while getting plenty of peace and quiet, well, this little slice of sanctuary is waiting for you.
