From the owner: "Thank you, DeAnna, for being our guest. We hope to see you and your family again soon."
Perfect for large family stays
5/5 This home is amazing. Being a renovated historic school house it has sure made for a very nice large home. All of the rooms are very large and roomy and the kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities to make a large dinner. The playground on the property is a hit with the kids. The owner and property manager are very nice and respond very quickly.

5/5 This home is very large. They turned an old schoolhouse into a home. There is plenty of room and beds for our family. And plenty of bathrooms. The playground was also convenient.

5/5 Wonderful Place to stay in small town America
5/5 We truly enjoyed our stay here. What a unique place. Perfect location in town.Our kids enjoyed being right next to the park. We enjoyed being a block off main.VERY spacious. Lots of room for all the vacation stuff you bring. Kitchen and dining area will please you. Living room acoustics were exceptional. Our evening guitar strumming and singing sounded great. What a neat place.The host across the street was very friendly and accommodating.This is a historic property. So don't expect everything to be new and perfect. A little more furniture would be nice. But, it didn't hinder us at all. We have already booked our 2024 vacation here. The wife and kids are excited to return.
