Iconic Church Turned Unique Stay (Casino/VIR)

Yes, it’s a church. No, it’s not boring. This former sanctuary has been reborn as a fun, unforgettable place to crash after big days and late nights. Set in Danville, VA, you’re minutes from Caesars Casino, Virginia International Raceway, and local bars—then back home to spread out, laugh loud, and enjoy a stay with serious personality. Perfect for race weekends, casino runs, and groups who like their getaways a little unconventional. 100% of the AirBnB proceeds go toward ongoing restoration.

Good to know

In the "City of Churches" the very first house of worship was constructed on this spot in the 1820's by the Presbyterians. Later in the 19th century, the Presbyterian built our amazing 9000 sqft Gothic Revival church. You'll have access to 3 bedrooms... one was the former Pastor Study, the second part of the former Nursery and the third a former sitting room. Each bedroom has its own climate control and large light-filled broken arch windows. The primary living space is 1500 sqft and served as the former Fellowship Hall. This space has a stage with a large 100" TV (that's right, 100"), ample seating, and even a bar (altar?). The dining room comfortably seats 8-10 at the 11' table. There is plenty of other seating in the room as well. The kitchen is massive and the counter space is overwhelming... typical of church kitchens designed to feed the masses. The appliances are brand-new (the fridge even makes ice cubes in multiple sizes!). The sanctuary is not part of the listing, but we can show you around or grant access at your own risk. It's something special :) ... a space graced by the oldest organ in Danville, an almost 200-year-old bell with a place in history, and amazing stained glass windows that includes an 8' cylindrical rose glass window.

We were very happy with our stay at this truly unique property. Staying in a historic former church was an unforgettable experience! The space is filled with beautiful religious iconography along with clever, humorous, and creative touches that give it so much character. It’s the kind of place where you keep noticing new details. The layout was fantastic for hosting a dinner and spending time with extended family, with plenty of room to gather and relax together. Everything was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully set up, and communication with the host was smooth and easy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind stay that’s perfect for group time and special occasions!

Amen to this stay. This beautifully renovated church somehow manages to walk the line of holy and hilarious. Think stained glass and serenity… but also modern comfort, clever details, and just the right amount of irreverence to keep things fun. The space is immaculate, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with little tongue-in-cheek touches throughout that had us laughing and saying, “Okay, this guy is hilarious.” Every detail feels intentional, from the layout to the decor to the overall vibe. It’s one of the coolest Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. We came just for a place to sleep after hitting the casino (super close- about 8 mins away) but were pleasantly surprised to enjoy the place as well! It has comfort, character, and clever charm. 10/10 would worship here again. PS: Crema and vine cafe is a must go for coffee/lunch/snacks! Great vibe and walking distance up the road!

I can not say enough good things about Jeremy and his place. This is literally the most beautiful Airbnb I’ve ever been in. We can’t wait to come back!

Not only is it an awesome place to stay and explore, but it has a completely stocked kitchen and bathroom. The beds are also very comfortable and felt homey even in a large space. We will definitely stay again!

The church was fantastic. Such a fun concept. It is hard to grasp from the pictures how giant it is. It’s a great location too. It was an easy walk to the restaurants on the River. Maybe 10 min? We went to Cotton at Riverside. Very good. We also took Ubers to the casino. They were cheap and only about 2 miles away. Ramsays at the casino was delicious. I totally recommend staying here. Jeremy is really responsive too. Had a great time!

Without a doubt the coolest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. I highly recommend it. The space is awesome, the beds are comfortable, and it’s close to everything. I would absolutely stay again.
