Larry and I had a wonderful stay at the little schoolhouse. We were close to Mt. Airy "Mayberry" and it was quite simple to travel between the house and town. We spent a lot of our time sitting on the front porch, looking at the beauty around us, and just enjoying downtime from the everyday stresses of life. Everything was clean and well cared for. There were snacks and drinks to help us get settled in. We will definitely be coming back!
We had a wonderful stay at the Schoolhouse. The positive reviews were spot on. It was very clean, well appointed and you can tell the owners put a lot of effort into making it an unforgettable experience for visitors. It was a perfect getaway for some peace and quiet. The location is beautiful. We will be visiting again!
The cabin was cozy and also felt very spacious. We loved sitting out on the porch as well (the weather was fantastic). There was plenty of ice in the freezer, which was nice. We were driving up and down the mountain visiting family in Carroll County, and it was a fun & adventurous drive. It was fun being in the valley. We enjoyed our time in the cabin.
As a retired educator I loved the old fashioned schoolhouse charm of this property. The house is cozy and comfortable with ample indoor and outdoor games and options. The mountain setting is peaceful. It is definitely one I hope to book again.
Beautiful location, beautiful and peaceful cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the fire pit, exploring mt airy. A hidden gem of a rental. Thank you so much!
We LOVED this vacation home! We would love to go back and spend a week. The mountains were so beautiful with the leaves changing colors. The schoolhouse was cozy and so comfortable. We loved being able to have drinks in the evening on the deck. We had such a wonderful time. We highly recommend this vacation location.
This truly is a gem. This old school house had everything we needed. This area is somewhat remote, but we still had access to WiFi TV and a phone. BBQ grill was great while we enjoyed watching Humming Birds and listening to the Dan River. The river was teaming with trout by road access. We look forward to returning.
