Spacious Retreat in Auburn with game area and large family entertaining

Your unique Auburn adventure begins at this 9-bedroom old church turned into a house. With 8 queen beds, 2 full beds, and 2 futons there's plenty of space for everyone. Brand new appliances with a full kitchen and a full game room/library will always give you something to do. With an almost 20 foot table you can eat together at your meals or enjoy what the area has to offer! We also have a record player and TV’s throughout the property. Parties are not allowed. There is a large outdoor space to enjoy with outdoor games. We think our place will help you experience everything Auburn and the surrounding areas have to offer, but more importantly a great place to enjoy with friends and family. The short drive to Fort Wayne, Leo, Angola, Garrett and so many other places offer SO much to do from lakes, state parks, wineries, golf courses, hikes at the Acres Land Trust and SO much more. We have posted some of our favorite eats, places and things to do that make your experience cozy, memorable and comfortable!

Great spot for a big family

We stayed here over NYE w our whole family and had an absolute great time. The big kitchen table was awesome for family meals and big family games, the kids loved the basement basketball and air hockey, and there was plenty of space for all of us to sleep.

Great space

There were 20 of us, extended family, and the common space and game room were excellent. Only 3 bathrooms caused us some bottlenecks a couple times but all in all, great experience.

From the moment we walked in, it was picture perfect. We felt more like home . It’s was spotless, not a want for any extras. You could tell the family put their heart and soul into the detailes. Our family traveled from TN, Fla, and NC for our son’s wedding that was located in Ohio. We hosted the rehearsal dinner with a success. Thank you Cassie and family , I would highly recommend your lovely place.
