Great Place!

The 1903 Church in Bolivar is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful renovation of the church I grew up going to. Huge rooms with several sitting areas. Kitchen is knocked out and has all the items you will need.During the day, the light shines in through the original stained glass windows. Beyond extraordinary.Will definitely stay here again.
