What a great layout. Many places to be within the walls of the schoolhouse. I felt such joy and calm. Playing pool was very thereapeutic for all of us. We also played cards.Some watched football while others were preparing a meal. All in the same space but with alot of space. Many notes and quotes written on the chalkboards. Totally will return. Thank you schoolhouse for the powerful peaceful calm of your estate.

I am so thankful that this property was available for a family gathering that has been long overdue. It was the perfect setup for our needs. The main gathering space is very large and multi-functional so no one ever felt left out of the group, even if you were playing pool or cooking. That being said, the layout of the interior is such that if you did wish to remove yourself for a bit, it was easy to do. Some notes: the property is very clean and well maintained. The charm of the schoolhouse is evident, but it is mixed in nicely with modern updates throughout. The kitchen is well stocked. The location is amazing! A nice, short walk to the beach and/or downtown. We met a lot of very nice people in the neighborhood on our walks. It felt very safe. The owners are quite lovely to work with. I was a bit confused on the lockbox situation, but the owners were right there to help out (it was total user error on my part!). One thing to keep in mind, while there is plenty of hand soap, dishwasher pods, even laundry soap, none of the bathrooms had bar soap, shower gel or shampoo. I always travel with my own soap and shampoo, but not everyone might do that. Everything else (towels, tissue, hairdryers, etc.) is plentifully stocked. All-in-all this was such a lovely property to stay at. I am anxious to return. Especially since it rained the entire duration of our stay and we had no opportunity to utilize the wonderful outdoor amenities.

This is our second stay at the school house and we have always fully enjoyed it! This time we were celebrating a long weekend with our parents and siblings/spouses. There were 8 of us and the space could not have been more perfect. The layout is great to have some space between bedrooms, a big kitchen/living/dining that is perfect for family gatherings, and another living room downstairs. The bedrooms all have themes are are cutely decorated to period/theme. Beds are comfy and everything in the home is clean and well-kept. We were super impressed with how well stocked the kitchen is - and we're foodies! The outdoor area with fire pit was a dream - lots of chairs and seating, as well as a couple grills and very large table & chairs under a pergola with lights - lots of good food and laughs around the fire at night! We also went to Tabor Hill for lunch & wine tasting, rented a boat to take out on the lake, and shopped around SoHa - plenty to do even in early fall season. The owners were wonderful and very communicative. We would highly recommend, and look forward to staying there again!
