Perfect stay

We couldn’t ask for a better stay. Melinda was wonderful to work with and easily accessible. We loved everything about the house. It was a perfect retreat for our Keydets to spend some down time relaxing with family.

Little homey slice of heaven in the Shenandoah Valley

I am tempted to give them a bad review so we can have the place all to ourselves every time we want to go visit our daughter in college! this is a gem of a place. If you love history, old houses, and beautiful farm land, this is the place for you! We've already reserved for the Parent's weekend next year and hope to also have for Graduation!

College Reunion

The house and grounds are really wonderful. The biggest drawback for us as a group of couples was the lack of full baths. Owners were terrific with communication on all fronts.

A Wonderful Home

Our family and friends enjoyed a long weekend in this beautiful home. Full of history and charm, it is comfortable and welcoming. Priceless pictures, books and beautifully worn thresholds are around every corner---if only this house could talk and tell it's stories!! We thoroughly enjoyed playing out back and hiking around the property with our kids and dogs. The sunroom was where we all naturally gravitated to hang out when we were inside. We would definitely love to visit again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Thompson

Church Hill is our child hood home and has been in our family since 1848. We remember growing up there when people would come from all around the country just to take pictures of the home and property as it is the birthplace of Sam Houston. We are pleased to be able to share it and give others the pleasure of gathering with their family and friends in such a wonderful setting.

Why they chose this property

Church Hill is a grand historical home regardless of what part of the United States our guests come from and anyone who visits will appreciate that. But with so much room to spread out inside and outside, you don't need to be a history buff to enjoy this home.

What makes this property unique

Large rooms, Tons of room outside for parking and roaming around and spending time with family and friends. Lots of places to sit and talk and gather inside and outside of the house. Clean, comfortable, and grand! If you are in town for a W & L or VMI function or get together, you owe it to yourself to stay here and see Church Hill for yourself. Your guests will say "Wow".
