Perfect couple's retreat!
The schoolhouse was so wonderful! Everything about it was perfect for a couple's night in: games, massage table, tv, screened porch, etc! I particularly loved the history and character of the schoolhouse. No detail was left unnoticed. I would definitely stay again!

This is the perfect place to stay! That is why I keep coming back. I have brought my sister, my husband, my Mom and now my best friend. Each person tells me how special the time is and how much the Schoolhouse adds to the time together. The perfect place to reconnect with someone you love.

Charming Clean & Convenient as Promised
I was looking for a place to stay near Mid-Ohio racetrack. This is a unique, well-cared property. I would much rather stay in a place like this than yet another cookie-cutter corporate owned place on the highway that is soulless and designed with an Excel spreadsheet. This is the opposite, and I hope to return again.

Unique Peaceful Retreat
This schoolhouse was the perfect place to get away. It's a very unique place! The owners attention to every detail is amazing. It place was spotless, the bed was comfortable and the rooms smelled good with the soy candles in the different rooms ( and the candles weren't even lit). We visited the Shawshank Trail which was about 10-15 minutes away. The whole weekend was like taking a trip back in time. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience.

33rd wedding anniversary
I am not one to take the time to type these reviews but this was such a surprise, i have to. I stumbled across this listing when looking for something special but different for my wife and I to celebrate our 39 years together and 33 years as husband and wife. As beautiful as the pictures are, it does not do it justice. It is spectacular. Every detail was perfect. It was spotless, beyond clean, I had some concern about the age and wondered if it would smell old and musky. Not even close. Smelled clean and fresh, perfect. The bed and the sheets were amazing, The main room set up is just so welcoming and cozy. While we had activities during the, both of said we could not wait to get back to the School House. Communication with the owners when planning this surprise for my wife was perfect. I could go on and on but if you are reading this and want a stay you will talk about for years, give the School House a shot. You will not be disappointed.
