Grand Manor Church Hill Fødselssted for Sam Houston

Church Hill is a truly picturesque, meticulously preserved historic, peaceful and tranquil home! We had an amazing extended stay! From the start, the rental process, the check-in and everything else was just top notch. The owners are wonderful and were so responsive and informative it just made our stay that much better. Church Hill was so clean and so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We throughly enjoyed learning about Sam Houston’s birthplace, and the six generations of the Thompson Family that have lived there. There is so much to do there on the property as well as the surrounding towns. We so enjoyed our time with our VMI Keydet, his friends and their families, and our family members that got a chance to visit and explore the beautiful area. Watching the sunrises and sunsets in Church Hill’s sunroom I will treasure and truly miss. This house is one-of-a-kind! We highly recommend visiting!!!

We selected this property so our whole family could be together around the midpoint between JMU and Virginia Tech for our twins’ commencement ceremonies, and hosted a graduation party one night for friends and family. The property was a perfect venue, had everything we needed, and was beautiful. We couldn’t have selected a better property for our celebration and family vacation- also terrific for history buffs.

Wonderful experience at Church Hill! It's charming and comfortable and exceeded all expectations! Lots of space, excellent attention to detail, all the supplies and kitchen equipment, comfy beds, lots of room to spread out, the 2 full baths and 2 falf baths worked great for our group Outstanding Hosts! We want to return! Hosts!

We had a great stay at Church Hill!! Our group of “barn friends” was in town for a show at the Virginia Horse Center. Church Hill was a perfect fit — spacious, good variety of bed arrangements and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The house and grounds are beautiful, super convenient to the horse center, and everything was exactly as described and pictured. The kitchen was well equipped to cook and dine. Melinda and Mike were lovely to interact with and very responsive. We will be back!

We couldn’t ask for a better stay. Melinda was wonderful to work with and easily accessible. We loved everything about the house. It was a perfect retreat for our Keydets to spend some down time relaxing with family.
