About the schoolhouse
An inspiring space designed to spark creativity and enhance productivity
Nestled along a picturesque country road, the charming schoolhouse sits on 3 acres of woods and wildflowers, complete with a serene path for peaceful walks. Built in 1927, the property boasts a spacious deck, as well as a firepit for evening hangouts. Inside the schoolhouse, you’ll discover a stunning 800 sq ft studio with a beautifully crafted, naturally sprung wood floor — an inspiring space designed to spark creativity and enhance productivity.
Accommodations
Accommodations include one room with 7 single beds, or the option of 2 private rooms. All guests have access to 2 toilets/sinks and a shared shower.
Please note: This is an old but charming schoolhouse, full of character and rustic charm.
