Wonderful spot for a get away
5/5 The stay was very nice. The school house was clean and well stocked. The community was quiet and close to both nearby national parks which was the reason for our visit. It was a perfect place to retire after a long day of history lessons and great food from the local taverns to a very comfortable bed! We would certainly stay there again.

Educational Weekend
5/5 My GF and I had a wonderful stay. We are both educators, love history and old buildings so the school and surrounding towns were great for us. This was her surprise Christmas gift. The school is comfortable, clean and very well decorated. The Christmas tree with the old school decorations was a great touch. The kitchen and bathroom are very nice too. Definitely recommend the old Schoolhouse!

I’ll be back again
5/5 I went to the Veterans Hospital in Martinsburg West Virginia for one week on business. I stayed in the renovated schoolhouse for four nights. Clean, nostalgic, historic, spacious and convenient are a few of the adjectives I’d use to describe this quaint little haven. Although I was there alone, I see this as a real learning opportunity for families. I contacted the manager only once and he responded immediately! It was a lovely experience.

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 !
