The space
The Schoolhouse Cabin is a perfect mesh of rustic and luxury. Located at the start of the scenic loop road on the south side of the lake, the water is a 2 minute walk in multiple directions! The cabin is a historic schoolhouse with multiple charming features including a spiral staircase, wood burning stove, original brick entry way floor, sunken dining room, and loft style upstairs! The yard has multiple gathering spaces including a brick deck with grill, dining area, conversation/lounge area, fire pit and an outdoor daybed to relax under the trees.
The oversized two car garage has been made into a game room! Game room has ping pong, air hockey, foosball, double basketball, tons of board and table games games, crochet, bocce ball, ladder ball, bags, ring toss, lawn darts, spike ball, a small kiddie area with little toys, and a sprinkler for your use! Hot tub seats 8 people and is available year round. Guests must follow hot tub rules.

Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’ll need to cook like pots, pans, bakeware, cutting boards, etc, as well as salt, pepper, oil, flour and sugar. We will also provide coffee and tea!
House rules must be followed.
Guest access
Guests will have access to all spaces on the property except the shed, where we keep yard care equipment.
Other things to note
The property is not wheel chair accessible and not recommended for toddlers or anyone that has trouble with a few steps.
There are steps to the main door, a small step up to the living room, and steps down to the dining and main floor bedroom.
Additionally, the spiral stair case is not suitable for very small children as the hand rails are wide enough to fit through! Please be aware that by booking, you waive any liability on the owners for tripping on steps.
Keep in mind, we are by a lake and woods! There will be wildlife and bugs! We try our best to keep all bugs outside the home, but given our location, some do creep in! Also, you will see deer more than likely. Please be careful driving, especially at night, and don’t scare them away if/when they come into our yard!

The place was so cute and as stated- biggest issue was a smell in the home that smelled like the former renter might have cooked something that permeated the walls and made the home smell like hot garbage. I did go to Walmart and got some plug in fresheners and that made a huge difference. Would stay again

I stayed here for 4 nights during spring break with my middle school daughter and her friend. The girls fell in love with the place and are now requesting that this becomes an annual tradition. They weren't particularly interested in the game room but loved the hot tub and having the large upstairs as thier own hangout spot. The kitchen was well stocked compared with other VRBOs I've stayed in. We loved the plentiful pillows and blankets. It was so cozy and relaxing.

We booked this charming little house for my daughter’s graduation at ISU. This house was absolutely perfect for our family, and while there was a blizzard going on outside, we were able to entertain ourselves in the party garage, as it was full of fun games!

Cozy, welcoming, pet friendly cabin. Being able to hike around the lake without having to drive anywhere was great! It was so great to bring our dog with us - she even braved the spiral staircase to explore the loft for a few minutes! My one complaint was it seemed like it hadn't had a deep clean in a while. I understand it's a cabin, but there was a layer of dust and cobwebs throughout the cabin. Other than that, it felt clean and was well cared for. As an intwrior designer, I have to say, the theming and decor is amazing! Having all the amenities there was great; we even ended up breifly using the game room which we didn't think we would do! Thank you for a great trip!

Great stay everything was amazing and as described and better. Will turn out great for wedding getting ready photos. Was close to town but still private and felt secluded. Great game room and a lot of options. Best place with amenities by far!!
