About this property

Magical Clarion County Church Renovation

A very romantic space! The perfect atmosphere for the writer or artist.The large, open great room is inviting for yoga and exercise practice. A former church, this renovation has maintained a peaceful and meditative quality.A good place to make or listen to music. .Small back porch with a table and chairs.,Dogs are very welcome and the back porch area has a fenced in area they seem to like!!!!.Pretty bathroom with shower. The kitchen counter was once the counter in the old country store in the village of Lawsonham.The woodwork is beautiful and the high ceilings give one the feeling of freedom .The many windows invite the outside in. Come and rest a while, create, enjoy! So very close to the Lawsonham Rails to Trails entrance.Great opportunity for hiking and bicycling.!

The avalon
This is such a unique and clearly loved property. Lots of interesting furniture and art, but not in a stuffy way! It was extremely comfortable and cozy for my husband and I and our pup! Highly recommend.

Great space!
Awesome place in the country - just up the hill from trail head w bike/hike trails going in three directions. Can hear the rapids from the house. Great space around the house, loads of room and privacy! It is the country, expect some country critters - also, it is hard to find a place that takes our hounds - two large dogs - fenced in area for dogs as well. We'll be back over the summer w our bikes - Paul and Linda of Middlefield OH

Ethereal.
This is our second time staying at this lovely, place. Mary is so welcoming to her absolutely beautiful property. The entire vibe to the building, the surrounding grounds, the various towns a few miles down the road feels like home. The only downside is that it isn’t closer for us to get to more often. Our pups enjoy being”country dogs” for a few days too. We cannot speak more highly of our time here. It’s just simply good for the heart, mind and the soul.

Unique and Special
Check in was easy. Mary was awesome. Spends time touring and giving you history of the property. Helped me really appreciate where I was staying. Property has everything you need but food. Mary also supplied a welcome gift and coffee for the Kuhrig. Also a few treats foe my dog. Fenced area, along with about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile worth of trails right on the property make it ideal for anyone who has a dog. This is a truly unique property. You have to appreciate this property for what and where it is. Its a very old church with amazing original woodwork and doors ect. So yes there is gonna be some dust and a random cobwebb. Its part of the charm of it all. The natural light from all the windows during the day. Is only equalled by the light games you can play at night with these ceilings and some candles. Property is less than 1/4 mile from entrance to Redbank Valley Trail with majestic setting and bakdrops for hiking or bike riding For me this place is 12 out of 10. Like I said its unique. I will be back, often ... you kinda have to stay here and see if you love it as much as I did.

Refreshing and unique!
Mary created a unique space that is at once peaceful and refreshing. The sounds of nature lulls you to sleep, the soft light dances throughout the space, and all the artistic details honor the history of the church. It was perfect for Ti Chi, yoga and reading, cooking and crafting. Excellently stocked kitchen, spacious bathroom, clean laundry! Beautiful antiques throughout. And the 2 does and 2 fawns that frequented were special. Really nice touch to have a fenced in part of yard for our dog! The mini Druid circle peeked our curiosity! We hope to visit again when visiting family in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Hamilton

Host profile image
I'm an artist and designer. My brother, who is co-owner has a history in preservation. We both have a life long love of antiques and the stories they tell.

Why they chose this property

This church was on our great grandfather's property. It was built in the early 1890s and was an Episcopal Church until sometime in the early part of the 20th century. It stood empty for many year and in the 1960s our Mother opened an antique shop in the building.When my brother and I inherited the property we wished to preserve the structure and the history and have done extensive renovations trying to be true to the feeling of peace this structure possesses.Now there is s new addition with a bathroom and a fully functional kitchen. We wish to share this special space.

What makes this property unique

The property is located on 80+ acres of mostly woodland. There is a pretty stream running through the woods. Wildlife abounds. When we were excavating for the septic system we uncovered some huge stones and built a stone circle near the church. A perfect place for meditation. It honors the memories of our Celtic forbears.The church is at the edge of the village of Lawsonham which was named after our ancestor who came her in the early 1800s. The Redbank Creek runs through it. It is not a very busy place now, although it once was, with hotels, a newspaper and a couple of stores. The counter in the kitchen area of our renovation came from one of the original stores in the village.At the bottom of the hill there is access to a Rail to Trails which is being developed.My brother lives nearby and is available for questions, solving possible problems and to make suggestions!
