Absolutely Adorable & Immaculate
So Clean! I love how they are refurbishing an old school. The bathroom might be small, but all the little things, like crayon band aids & make up wipes really put this place above a hotel stay!
Very nice accommodation not far from Jamestown the owner greeted me when i arrived and coffee and snacks were available I would recommend this great opportunity for anyone that is going to Jamestown
Room was very nice great hosts easy access to Lake Cumberland activities for kids close by will stay again

So unique!
A chance to stay in a historic schoolhouse- well, of course! A bit off the beaten path, but it was so worth the drive from Somerset where we were visiting family. As we entered the schoolhouse doors, we were greeted by our lovely host, Denise, and given a quick history and tour. The furnishings and decor are lovely. They have thought of everything- a kitchen with everything you need - for me that was a coffee maker and snacks - in what was once an office. As we went to our ‘ classroom’ we loved the antique furnishings and collections. Our room was furnished beautifully with a well appointed bathroom. The concrete school house walls and heavy doors ensured a very quiet visit. It was a unique experience, sleeping in a schoolhouse- and we plan to make it our go to when visiting family. Denise welcomed us to walk the grounds and explore as much as we wanted. Everything you need and at a great price! What’s not to love!

Unique Stay
What a unique experience! We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again. It is SUPER clean, the hostess is super nice & she has thought of every little detail. We were very comfortable during our whole stay. We have enjoyed telling everyone that we stayed in a school for our stay in KY. As I said before, we will book again.

Charming and Unique Stay in Jamestown
This rental was so unique, clean and charming. I thought it was such a smart way to re-use space - turning an elementary school into rooms that have all the modern upgrades as a hotel room plus much more - way bigger. Loved it!
This is such a beautiful property! It was so fun to stay at and explore. I truly Loved it. The sheets were super soft, the room was adorable and the pubic spaces were so cute as well. There's a large parking lot (like you'd see at a school 😜) which was great for the boaters who stayed there at the same time as us. I'd Love to go back.

Cute and Quiet
Off the beaten path and very quiet. Lovely spot and cool redo of the school. The bathroom was a little funky, but the host made sure we knew that before we came. So communication was excellent.
We only stayed one night, but multiple nights here would have been delightful.
The school is in a beautiful rural setting with cows on rolling hills surrounding it. The owner has taken great care with the tiniest details to make the place and guests' stays perfect. She made herself available for any questions and tips about the place and the area. It was exceptionally clean. The best quality and most unique property we found for access to Burkesville. We will be back and recommend it to anyone looking for accommodations in the area.

Perfect relaxation getaway
This place is perfect for a serene getaway and convenience for fishing on the Cumberland River. Accommodations are everything you could ask for a true homey feel. The owners are so kind and accommodating as well. We definitely plan on staying here again for our next fishing trip.
Love that the look and feel of being in a school was maintained yet still very comfortable. Delightful host greated us upon arrival. Nice little kitchen just for the guests, well stocked with snacks, coffee, tea, water and everything you need should you want to cook a meal. You also have a small refrigerator and microwave in room. Having the shower in the bedroom vs in the bathroom was a bit odd and could be uncomfortable if traveling with a child or another person but for a couple it wasn't a problem. Just a personal preference, but a rug or at least throw rugs by the bed would be nice. Warmer on the feet and helps soften the look of yhe room. Overall, a most enjoyable stay. If ever in the area again I'd definitely stay there.

Great Accommodations
There is no better place to stay if you are fishing Cumberland Lake or especially the Cumberland River tailwater. There is a huge parking lot with electricity for charging batteries. Union Chapel Lodge is immaculately clean, the guest kitchen is well-equipped, and the hostess is the best. The rural surroundings are beautiful and peaceful.
