Chapelle Charmante 1907 - Retraite Luxe près Fort Morgan & Réservoir Prewitt

Some places simply give you a place to stay.

Others become part of your family’s story.

Originally built in 1907 as the Hillrose Methodist Episcopal Church, this lovingly restored church has become our second home—a place we poured our hearts into preserving while carefully blending historic character with modern comfort.

Throughout the restoration, something unexpected happened.

People from all over began stopping to admire the church. Former members shared stories of attending services here as children. Families told us about weddings, Christmas programs, baptisms, Sunday school, and loved ones whose lives were woven into the history of this remarkable building.

We quickly realized that this church means far more than just the two of us.

Rather than keeping it to ourselves, we decided to share it with others so new memories could be made within walls that have already witnessed more than a century of Colorado history.

Today, soaring cathedral ceilings, original hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, antique furnishings, a grand piano, elegant French-country décor, and thoughtfully designed modern amenities come together to create an experience unlike anywhere else.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, celebrating an anniversary, gathering with friends and family, exploring northeastern Colorado, or marking one of life’s special moments, we would be honored to welcome you to The 1907 Church.

Before You Go…

Every historic building has two stories.

The first is written in its past.

The second is written by everyone who walks through its doors.

For more than a century, The 1907 Church has welcomed families, friendships, celebrations, quiet moments, and countless memories. Today, it stands as a reminder that beautiful places can be lovingly preserved while continuing to bring people together in new ways.

It has been our privilege to restore this remarkable piece of Colorado history and to share it with those who appreciate places with character, craftsmanship, and soul.

Whether you’re gathering around the dining table with family, enjoying coffee beneath the chandeliers, listening to the piano fill the sanctuary once again, celebrating a milestone, or simply finding a peaceful place to slow down for a few days, we hope your time here becomes part of the church’s continuing story.

Welcome to The 1907 Church.

We can’t wait to share it with you.
