About this property

Romantic 1840s Schoolhouse > Private Hot Tub > 1 Hr to Saratoga

Sleep inside 185 years of history. This one-room schoolhouse was built in 1840, taught generations of local children, and has been completely renovated into a private retreat for two — original timbers and antique sliding doors preserved, modernized around a king bed, propane fireplace, private hot tub on the covered deck, and an oversized rain-shower for two. An hour from Saratoga, easy reach to Cobleskill, Howe Caverns, Cooperstown, and the southern Adirondacks. Built for couples who want somewhere that doesn't feel like everywhere else.

Why Couples Book This Property;
Genuine 1840s schoolhouse — not a themed cabin, actually 185 years old
Private hot tub on a covered deck you won't share with anyone
Walk-in rain shower with dual showerheads on independent temperature controls
Propane fireplace and king bed for cold-weather trips
Fully stocked kitchen if you'd rather stay in than go out
No on-site host, no shared space, no foot traffic

The Space
Roughly 800 square feet of fully private space for two: bedroom, bathroom, living area, kitchen, and a covered back deck with a private hot tub. Antique sliding barn doors salvaged from another 19th-century schoolhouse separate the bedroom and bathroom — original, beautiful, and they don't seal like modern doors. For two people, it's part of the story.

Bedroom;
King bed with Nectar Premier mattress, robes in the closet
55" Roku Smart TV (guest mode — log into your streaming, auto-logs out at checkout)
USB and USB-C charging on both sides of the bed
Dresser, full-length mirror, iron & ironing board

Bathroom;
Oversized walk-in shower with dual rain showerheads on independent controls
Premium towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash
Hair dryer, essential toiletries

Living Area;
Loveseat, two accent chairs, custom coffee table
Second 55" Roku Smart TV, propane fireplace
Dedicated desk and chair if you need to get a little work done

Kitchen;
Full-size fridge, range, microwave, coffee maker
Spices, oils, dishes, pots, pans, utensils
Dining for four

Covered Back Deck;
Private hot tub (drained, cleaned, and refilled between every stay)
Seating for two and a small table
Wooded views

"This property was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed — it truly felt just like home. The hot tub was a wonderful highlight, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Conveniently located only 10 minutes from both a grocery store and a gas station, it made our stay effortless. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury."

My husband and I were looking for a little getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary and this place fit our needs. We loved the vibe of the converted schoolhouse. It was a spacious but cozy place to stay! The fireplace and hot tub were welcomed benefits. You can tell that they take care and take pride in the space. Kayla was very responsive to our questions. She also made a point to follow up to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Thank you Kayla!
A pleasant personal touch greet us upon our arrival.
