Lyndale Church Lodge

Welcome to the mystical, beautiful and historic Lyndale Church Lodge. Are you looking for the most unique place to stay or host a dinner? Lyndale Church Lodge is the place! This incredibly unique property is a restored deconsecrated church dating back to 1886. This 4,000 sq. ft. property is certain to leave your jaw on the floor!

Upon entering you will be blessed with a perfect mix of modern and historical features. The main chapel is sure to inspire awe as it has been restored to its previous grandeur with comfortable furnishings and modern touches. The main level sanctuary is a wide-open space that provides a one-of-a-kind experience. A massive 86” television projecting over the original repurposed alter to enjoy game day, a movie, or use it as an oversized monitor for a presentation! Here you’ll also find a magnificent 10 ft snooker pool table. It’s a rare and unique table that will test your billiard skills on what will be the most challenging game you’ve ever played! The church is set up with high-speed internet to make your stay complete.

One of our favorite features here cannot be seen, only heard! The church has a Sonos sound system for your group to enjoy the magical acoustics only found within a church. If you prefer some quiet time, you’ll be happy to see a lovely library area with comfy seating complete with 12’ shelving, stocked full of books, covering every subject you can think of. A marble chess table with throne style seating will draw you in for hours of strategy. “Lastly,” you can enjoy “supper” at our magnificent 12 ft. round dining table which conveniently seats 13. You can reenact DaVinci’s Last Supper.

The spacious lower level provides additional room to spread out and relax. Here you’ll find a gorgeously updated kitchen complete with custom cabinets and professional grade appliances, a dining area with a farmhouse table that seats 10 and a cozy living area with the original (updated) fireplace.

Off of the lower living area are three bedrooms. Two are king bedrooms and the other with two queen beds. All bedrooms are complete with high-end furniture and mattresses to make your stay comfortable. There’s a full bathroom both upstairs and downstairs with an additional powder room in the lower level. The lower ¾ bathroom has in-floor heating for those cold days.

The pictures dont tell the whole story.

I had high expectations for this property, but it turned out to be a major letdown. We originally booked to stay at the church, drawn by its historical charm and beautiful aesthetics. However, we were forced to relocate. First and foremost, the listing was incredibly misleading. Nowhere did it mention the steep, narrow stairs that lead to all essential rooms downstairs. If you're expecting a relaxing, accessible stay, think again. If we had known about this, we would have never booked here, as it was extremely difficult to navigate, especially with luggage. It’s baffling how the owner didn’t think to include a simple photo of these stairs in the listing. This critical oversight is deceptive and leaves guests feeling blindsided. Furthermore, the layout is absurd and completely impractical. The sacristy area has plenty of space, yet there is no elevator. It’s 2024, and basic accessibility should be standard. This property isn’t suitable for elderly guests, families with young children, or anyone with mobility issues. In summary, if you’re looking for a stay that matches the description, look elsewhere. This property needs major updates and a more honest approach to its listing. Save your money and book a stay where the host actually cares about providing a comfortable, accessible experience. The only redeeming factor was the beautiful wood work and historical aspect but that’s not enough to make up for the multitude of issues we faced.

Unique, comfortable, cozy

I stayed at the church with two of my work colleagues for work we were doing in Minneapolis. To be honest I didn't know what to expect, it being a church, but I was pleasantly surprised. This ended up being one of the best choices we've made as far as lodging. The church is spacious and cozy at the same time. The drive into the city was barely more than 10 minutes. It has me thinking I'd like to come back and do some relaxing in the area just so I can stay at the church again.

Fun, unique, and very large rental

We rented this spot because we did not want to leave the building for three days. We had 84 - 21 year olds and we all had something to do at all times. It is very well appointed with lots of little sitting areas. We cooked all of our meals and watched a lot of college football. Very nice place - exactly as described.
