A Charming Retreat for Relaxation and Reflection
Welcome to A&D Rise Getaways @ Little White Church Retreat, a stunning and thoughtfully restored 19th-century church turned into a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom sanctuary where historic elegance meets modern comfort. Set in the peaceful rolling hills of Jo Daviess County, this one-of-a-kind property is ideal for families, couples, or small gatherings looking to unplug and reconnect.
With soaring ceilings, original stained-glass windows, serene outdoor spaces, and beautiful furnishings, every corner of this retreat offers warmth, character, and a sense of sacred stillness. Whether you`re enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, dining with views of the hills, or sipping coffee beneath the gazebo—this is more than a getaway... it’s an experience.
BEDROOMS:
• Primary Bedroom (Upper Level): King bed with private patio, ensuite bathroom, and folding doors for added privacy
• Bedroom 2 (Main Level): Queen bed with original stained-glass window and ceiling fan
• Bedroom 3 (Main Level): Queen bed with original stained-glass window and ceiling fan
• Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a full bathroom conveniently located on the main floor.
KITCHEN & DINING:
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and drip coffee maker. The dining room offers stunning hilltop views, making every meal a beautiful moment.

FIREPLACE:
The cozy indoor fireplace is perfect for gathering and unwinding in the main living area. Please follow provided use instructions. Guests must provide their own firewood.
THINGS TO DO:
Take a walk through the private gardens, read a book under the gazebo courtyard, or catch the sunset from the backyard firepit. Explore the countryside of Jo Daviess County or enjoy a scenic drive to nearby towns for antique shopping, hiking, or local bites.

What to Expect
🕓 Check-in is at 4 PM
🕚 Check-out is at 11 AM
Thanks to our wonderful property owners and amazing guests, our places stay pretty booked up — which means our rockstar cleaning crew only has a short 5-hour window to work their magic between stays.
If any flexibility opens up for your dates, we’ll be sure to reach out and offer it ahead of time. Otherwise, if you`d like a little extra time to ease in or out, we recommend booking the night before or after.
🔥 Grills & LP Tanks:
Our owners generously provide grills at no cost. However, full LP tanks aren’t guaranteed. We do our best to make sure there’s at least 1/3 of a tank ready for you. If you need more, refills or exchanges are up to you.
✨ Starter Kit:
To help you settle in, we provide:
• 🧻 One roll of toilet paper per bathroom
• 🧼 One roll of paper towels
(If you’re staying longer or with a group, you might want to bring along a few extras just in case!)
Thanks so much for understanding — we can’t wait to host you! 😊
ADDITIONAL FEATURES & INFORMATION:
• WiFi: Available throughout the home
• Washer & Dryer: Washer only!
• Pet-Friendly: Yes
• Parking: Ample on-site parking
• Check-in/Check-out: Check-in is at 4 PM, and check-out is at 11 AM
