Cool Schoolhouse for 2 teachers!!

We toured the Shawshank prison/movie set prior to arriving at this nifty destination.Neat property, secluded, unique, different.Owners very good with communication. Entry & exit was simple.Property very clean, comfy, relaxing. Finding the silverware was challenging (we did not look in the pantry cupboard until the morning of our departure).We did use the massage table/area upstairs. I brought some massage lotions, some towels and some candles. With the small water fountain & diffuser it was pretty neat set up & very relaxing area for us to massage each other.Bed was soft & comfy too!!

Wonderful, unique getaway destination

This was a great and very clean place! The owners have carefully created a special and unique escape from the ordinary. The bed was fabulously comfortable, and the spa room with a massage table was an extra bonus, with additional calming touches of a water feature and an essential oil diffuser. Enjoying the view from the chairs in the peaceful back yard was especially tranquil and memorable. We highly recommend the schoolhouse for your next excursion!

Super cute, antique getaway

We stayed two nights here, it was very easy to find and was absolutely stunning! Very spacious for the two of us. Everything was very clean and neat and even appropriately decorated with antiques and school themed pictures and such. Bed was super cozy, there were two bathrooms (one half, one full) so both of us could get ready at the same time. It was a very safe area and not too far away from the Reformatory or the Gill house which is what we came to visit. Definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Perfect Getaway in Historic Schoolhouse

This school house was just perfect. Walked inside and the lights were on which is so nice to walk into a space that already feels Welcoming. Next we really appreciated was that all the switches were labeled. No guess work here. The space was so clean and beautifully decorated. We also appreciated that the couch and bed were very comfortable. Also they had good water pressure. The communication with host was spot on any questions were answered right away. They made check in and out very easy. We really loved our stay here and highly recommend this property!!!! Look forward to staying here in future. Maybe next time it wont rain the whole time and we can catch a beautiful sunset.

Exceeded my expectations!!

Absolutely amazing property! Grateful to the owners who saw the beauty and potential in this schoolhouse building. The decor, school books, and literature added charm and knowledge to what this building once was. Updating it to allow for modern comforts yet preserving the feel of days gone past. Loved every minute of our stay. We definitely want to return in the fall so we can enjoy the outdoors and 3 season space. The cleanliness was spot on!! Cozy and inviting from the minute you opened the door. The only thing I wish we could see is pictures of it back in the day and what it looked like when you acquired it.

Charming Clean & Convenient as Promised

I was looking for a place to stay near Mid-Ohio racetrack. This is a unique, well-cared property. I would much rather stay in a place like this than yet another cookie-cutter corporate owned place on the highway that is soulless and designed with an Excel spreadsheet. This is the opposite, and I hope to return again.
