5/5 This property is an absolute gem; very well maintained and enjoys a lot of TLC. Check-in was easy and owner was very responsive throughout my 4-night stay. I found the location quite remote, yet it has all the modern amenities. Pillows were very good and the deep well water was just excellent!
This is more than a vacation rental. This is a museum!! Kudos to the owners for preserving the history so well! I must give full credit to the designer/architect who has converted this historic school house into it's current form. The decor is so fitting...school house themed, yet rustic. My favorite was the sunroom where all you see is tall green trees. We used to relax there after our daily touristy outings.
Some words of caution -- we lost cell signal about 20 mins before reaching the property. The location is that remote/rural. The loft (very cute and creative) didn't work for us. It was too hot for us (mid-July). Without enough airflow, the air smelled dusty in the loft. So my daughter slept in the living-room couch which was quite comfortable.
Regardless, we fell in love w/ the property. Our stay was comfortable. We'd like to return some day, hopefully in Fall to absorb the colors from the sunroom.

We are so glad you enjoyed our home. We appreciate the kind words. Fred has personally upgraded the school house since 1993. Thank you for closing our home for your time away.

Cozy little house
5/5 It was a nice stay in a cozy little house, good to relax, cook, read, watch movies.
The sauna in the bedroom was a great plus.
