Cozy, 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 without permission. 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, 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! We will absolutely help recommend more of our favorites around the area we love! Now the good stuff….food! Here are some of our favorites!
