Is Bluffton a destination location? Ryan and Jessica Meyer think so. 

The couple bought the True Word Tabernacle church, located at 104 E. Elm Street behind Town Hall, back in February 2023 with the vision of providing unique short- and long-term housing for Bluffton.

Back in 2021, the Meyers opened up a short-term vacation rental in rural Bluffton and were surprised at the immediate demand for the rental. Guests constantly noted there were few if any places to stay in the immediate area, unless you drove to Lima or Findlay.
