About this property

Devil's Lake Schoolhouse-walk to beach and restaurants!

Step back in time at Devil's Lake Schoolhouse, a renovated 1877 schoolhouse just outside the north entrance to the park. You can walk to the North Shore beach!
Perfect for family getaways, group retreats or a weekend with friends, this spacious home blends historic charm with modern updates. With 9 beds, it comfortably sleeps 12 guests. Enjoy large gathering spaces, a screened porch, and a fire pit for relaxing and reconnecting. There’s something here for everyone!

Inside the Schoolhouse, you'll find thoughtful touches and modern comforts throughout. With 4 private sleeping spaces and 2 additional pullout couches, everyone has room to relax. The large dining table seats 8, perfect for shared meals or game nights.

The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal at home, including coffee supplies to start your day right. Outside, fire up the gas grill to prepare your favorite cookout dishes.

Settle into the cozy sitting area by the big windows and browse through our collection of historic books, or kick back with a movie on one of the big screen TVs located in the master bedroom and both living rooms.

The spacious screened porch, with seating for 11+ guests, is ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or catching up after a day at the lake. Just outside, the fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs invites you to unwind under the stars.

As always the school house was a perfect stay for our family. It has everything we could need for a family vacation at Devils lake. Clean, comfortable, plenty of space and the location is unmatched. We will be back again next summer.

This was our second time staying at this property, and we were just as happy with it as the first time. We brought our teens and their friend up for one last bit of summer fun at Devil's Lake State Park before college starts. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we noticed they'd made improvements to the upstairs loft, adding some extra ventilation.The kitchen was well appointed and there was plenty of space to spread out. My wife's and my favorite thing was taking coffee out on the large screened-in porch. The location right by the Devil's Lake Northshore entrance was a real plus, too.The hosts were also on top of communicating check-in and check-out procedures. We'd rent again and recommend it.

We were celebrating our daughter's graduation from college. It was a big group, and the schoolhouse was perfect! We made a big family dinner and plenty of room to play games and relax. We had everything we needed!It was such a unique property and the only thing we needed was more time to enjoy it!

Our family lives just north of Madison, WI. We love visiting Devil's Lake to hike, rock climb and swim and are excited to give folks a comfy place to stay while they explore the area.

What makes this property unique

The Schoolhouse was built in the 1800's and has so much history to share. Although it's been renovated, some of the original character remains. The slate chalkboards, desks, bathroom signs and stairs are all original. A book at the property shows the history and development of the school over the past 150 years.
