Retaking HISTORY Class in Ye OLDE Schoolhouse !
5/5 On the "heels" of Hurricane Helene with NO power at home in Western Carolina, we were able to "escape" via a work-around route to Virginia / West Virginia. This was a pre-planned vacation that coincided with the Helene disaster. What a GREAT place to escape TO! A great location to many historic towns & "things to do". The Schoolhouse fit right in with the theme of going back in history. It is clean, well-stocked with all of the necessities, entertainment TV, & sleeping accommodations. The rooster is also a "nice touch"! Can't wait to do it again next year. Thank you, Michael !

Nostalgic Schoolhouse
5/5 Staying at the schoolhouse was a pure delight. Touches of nostalgia decorated the renovated building. Everything was comfortable, even the Murphy bed. The kitchen was small, but quite adequate. It was well supplied with equipment & utensils.Beverages for the Keurig were varied and tastey. The property was close to Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Charles Town. We even took in an exhibit on Sunday afternoon in DC. Peaceful & private.
