The Amazing Church of the Perpetual Boogie (1854)

A mere 1 mile from the new Caesar's Casino...sin all day and attone at night at The Church of the Perpetual Boogie! Abandoned for 11 years, the CPB restoration journey has been chronicled in newspapers, on TV, and we even have a large "congregation" on FB. The Church of the Perpetual Boogie has been under historic restoration for the past 2.5 years. 100% of the AirBnB proceeds will be put toward the restoration of the 1870's sanctuary and continued enhancements to the living areas.

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 1500sqft and served as the former Fellowship Hall. This space has a stage with a large 85" TV, 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.

I wish I had a better word than WOW!!! to describe this beautiful home/church. It is like staying at a real church, except waaaaay cooler!! We were planning on going out to dinner, but when we saw the place, we decided to stay in and order food! We never wanted to leave. I will definitely be coming back. Don't forget to ask to see the sanctuary...it is being renovated but still an amazing site to see. Jeremy was a top notch host, very responsive, and knows everything about this wonderful and majestic building. If you stay anywhere else after reading this all I can say is have fun being bored.

Jeremy was such an awesome host. Very responsive and accommodating, and the house is just a whole vibe. Every time you walk through the house you find something new and fascinating, clever, informative about the history, and funny. My two faves were probably the alien nativity scene & the painting of Jesus getting ready to lay a WWE smack down on ol’ lucifer. We had the best time this weekend and a birthday celebration I’ll never forget. Thank you, Jeremy!
