Built in 1890 and resurrected in 2021, you’ll have plenty to enjoy at this historic gem. We took great pride to carefully preserve this amazing historical church and bring it back to life as a unique rental with a fun and modern touch.
The space This amazing historic space has so much to offer. With over 3,000 square feet to enjoy, you will have lots of room to spread out and enjoy the pool table, foosball table and other unique and fun offerings.
The church was built in 1890 and operated as the St. John’s Episcopal Church until it’s closing in 2009. It was carefully renovated in 2021 with the idea of preserving the beauty and integrity of the architectural style. We added our own special touch to create a unique space that offers all the basic amenities as well as some fun furnishings to create your own special memories.
We saved everything that we could from the original interior of the Church. Many of the fixtures are original to the church and were restored or repurposed to fit our vision. The red carpet in the linen room is the original carpet that graced church sanctuary. The cedar wood in the upstairs bathroom is also original to the church as are some of the pews. The church chancel rails were repurposed as blanket ladders. We also reutilized much of the other wood and decor throughout the church.
The downstairs bathroom barn wood was salvaged from a mill in Wisconsin Dells that was built in 1881. The shutters in the laundry room are from a historic house in Juneau County and the confessional, which is over 100 years old, is from a Catholic Church in the Chicago area. The gold ceiling tin in the steeple room is from the early 1900’s and was salvaged from a warehouse in the Dells area.
The location is hard to beat, as we are a two minute walk to Downtown Mauston, 15 minutes from Castle Rock Lake and just 20 minutes from Downtown Dells.
Guest access Guest have access to everything inside the building and the space in front and the side.

Great place for a large group. Many options for sleeping and large common area. Unique, tasteful decor and comfortable beds. Locals were very friendly and helpful.
Had a great stay at the Mauston Church. Great hosting space for a group. Would have liked to have more double beds as we were there with multiple couples. Short Walking distance to a few waterholes and places to eat. 25 minutes from dells.
This was our second stay at the church, which speaks for itself. Once again, working with Dan was hassle-free. He allowed us to check in early on Friday, which was a huge help for us as we needed to be at the "church church" for a memorial service early the next day. We had plenty of room to spread out but also areas to gather in small or larger groups to talk, play a game or two or just hang out.
Great place to stay with a large group!!!
The livingroom/ gameroom/ kitchen area is huge!!!!! Really unique, very nicely decorated!!
Owner is very responsive and caring. This is by far the best place I have ever rented. Parking could be improved owner said he is working on it with the city.
