No Room at the Inn? Spend the Night With Rev. Schuller for $700

The Orange County preacher and his wife are leasing out their South Laguna home for a hefty rate.

Would Jesus crash here?

Famed Orange County tele-preacher Robert A. Schuller (whose white-haired same-named dad is even more famous, having built the Crystal Cathedral and all) and his wife, Donna, are offering up their plush Three Arch Bay home on Stonington Road in South Laguna for a cool $700 a night—or $5,000 a week—per couple, according to this listing on airbnb.com.

But you won't have the place all to yourself—sorry, party rockers, no keggers.

The catch is that it's part of a "spiritual retreat" the Schullers are offering. They'll be rooming in the four-bedroom, four-bathroom crib right there with you, offering "two hours of private counseling per day" as part of the package.

(Actually, they will let you have the keys to the place without the counseling, but those prices—for either three-, six- or nine-month stays—aren't listed, so you'll just have to "contact Donna and Robert for more information and booking," it says.)
