Vintage School 1 BR Upstairs, Kitchen, Pool, Gym Upstairs 1 Bedroom Apartment
Size –
1 Bedroom • 1 Bathroom 1 Bath • Sleeps 1-4This classic schoolhouse was built in 1934. It still has that vintage charm, and we have filled the apartments with turn of the century inspired furniture and decor, yet adding modern conveniences. Many of the items date back to its use as a elementary school. Our goal is to make it as warm, welcoming, and comfortable as possible. We have a pool, full gymnasium with sports equipment, workout area with a Peloton (bring your own cycling shoes), free weights, and ping pong. There is a fire pit, big lawn, and fort area for the kids to play on.
There is one queen bed, and we have a roll away bed and the couches are very comfortable if you don't mind sleeping on a couch. Max capacity is 4 people, including kids.

About the Owner
Mark grew up in this area, and when we found this vintage school for sale, we had to buy it. It lured us with its solidly built romantic charms. Now we hope to share it with other people who will appreciate its well built and warm nature. Natasha has run a yarn business for over a decade, so now we are hoping to have crafting retreats in the schoolhouse, along with rental guests.Location
