Historic Schoolhouse on Winery Row

Quaint, historic schoolhouse on three acres, and firepit by a bold stream, and with a nicely furnished pergola deck including gas grill. All this on a road with several wineries...one close enough to be walkable (with care)! So much history and recreation in the immediate area, you will be overwhelmed with all there is to do in the time you will visit.

Spacious, immaculate, and comfortable

Very smooth check in process and communication before and after stay. Charming stone house with a stunning bathroom (awesome shower), state of the art kitchen, and cozy beds. We didn’t spend time on the back porch due to the weather, but it’s lovely. My family all gives the property a strong two thumbs up!

Great Stay...only wish we could have stayed longer!

We were in town to attend a family wedding and the historical schoolhouse was the perfect peaceful place for us to return to after long days out and about. Lynne was wonderful in communicating all the details we would need prior to check in and ensured we had no issues during our stay. The location feels like it's out in the peaceful countryside but it's not far from town, restaurants, shopping, etc. The house has been beautifully restored with all the modern conveniences. We would definitely stay again when we are visiting family in the area!

A relaxing getaway

This VRBO home could not have been any better! It was clean, cozy, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you can possibly need. The owner, Lynn, answered all of our questions and responded to our text messages quickly. She could not have been more helpful. Location is ideal close to wineries and great restaurants. we enjoyed the grill on the back deck as well as the relaxing creek and chairs around the fire pit We enjoyed our stay here so much. We are looking forward to going back again. I highly recommend this beautiful VRBO to anyone who is looking for a delightful and relaxing getaway.

Charming & Unique

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at this charming property. This converted schoolhouse was very well appointed, and provided all that we needed for a pleasant experience. We also had the opportunity to enjoy the fire pit by the stream one evening, and would highly recommend it .
