The Deacon

We just finished hosting our annual photography retreat, The Family Narrative, at the Deacon. We've hosted in cities across the country (and in Australia) and have never had a space as unique or special as The Deacon. We loved being able to offer our attendees the opportunity to sleep on-site. The beds were incredibly comfy, the space was well-stocked, and the staff was always friendly when we had to contact them about various little things. And the light! THE LIGHT! We will definitely consider hosting again in the future and highly recommend the Deacon for your next gathering or event! A few areas that could have used a little attention: most of the bedrooms had nowhere to put clothes (neither a dress, a drawer, or a place to hang anything). The bathrooms could have used some hooks for hanging towels. Most of the bedrooms lacked bedside lamps or trash cans. Just little things like that would be make it much nicer for guests. Also you do have to enter someone's bedroom to access a bathroom - that's important to know if you're hosting an event and sleeping there as well. And there's no elevator or access for people who can't take the stairs. We had a guest with an injury and it was difficult for them, especially with their luggage.

The Deacon was the PERFECT venue for my birthday weekend! The event space, the kitchen, the rooms - everything was fabulous. All my family and friends were totally wowed by the place. And the staff were very easy to communicate with leading up-to and the days of the event. Highly recommend The Deacon!

Stayed here for a conference recently and it is a beautiful venue! The stained glass windows were gorgeous, the kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances you could want. Some improvements could be made: there were no trash cans in the bedrooms, for example. Also would have been nice to have a bedside lamp. The one downside was that the shower drained VERY slowly in the upstairs bathroom so much so that there was 1-2” of standing water by the time my shower was finished. The entrance was fairly easy to figure out and then a breeze to use. I walked everywhere or took a Lyft. Shopping and restaurants are pretty close. It was nice as it is in a residential neighborhood so the road was relatively quiet. I also loved the historical side to the venue and some of the artwork incorporated into the space to honor the past.
