Retaking HISTORY Class in Ye OLDE Schoolhouse !
On the "heels" of Hurricane Helene with NO power at home in Western Carolina, we were able to "escape" via a work-around route to Virginia / West Virginia. This was a pre-planned vacation that coincided with the Helene disaster. What a GREAT place to escape TO! A great location to many historic towns & "things to do". The Schoolhouse fit right in with the theme of going back in history. It is clean, well-stocked with all of the necessities, entertainment TV, & sleeping accommodations. The rooster is also a "nice touch"! Can't wait to do it again next year. Thank you, Michael !

Nostalgic Schoolhouse
Staying at the schoolhouse was a pure delight. Touches of nostalgia decorated the renovated building. Everything was comfortable, even the Murphy bed. The kitchen was small, but quite adequate. It was well supplied with equipment & utensils.Beverages for the Keurig were varied and tastey. The property was close to Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Charles Town. We even took in an exhibit on Sunday afternoon in DC. Peaceful & private. withe Kureg

This property was a charming piece of history, my 10 year old daughter loved it here! It was pictured accurately and very clean. Close to many historical sites and North Virginias wine country. I can’t honestly say anything bad about the School House, it was a wonderful stay, thank you.

Week-end away
The schoolhouse was like stepping back in time. I loved all the special touches and attention to detail! The place was very clean and comfortable with an excellent mattress! The neighborhood was quiet and the location was perfect for us as we were visiting our son in Charles Town but also wanted some time in Shepherdstown. It was so easy to get in touch with our host if needed. Great stay!!

Fantastic
We had an absolutely amazing time in the school house. The location was perfect as our “base” while enjoying WV &VA and attending nephews graduation. We explored the small towns ( loved Shepardstown) did white water rafting on the Potomac & the kids learned so much history on the day we explored Harpers Ferry NP. In the evenings the grandkids and I played the old fashioned games at the schoolhouse-We saved $$ cooking in the Incredibly well equipped kitchen, and having a washer and dryer w/ kids was great ( thank you so much for the detergent pods). Everything was excellent . We will Definitely be back in a few years for the next graduation!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the historic school house. The classroom-themed decor and vintage touches filled our stay with nostalgic charm. Every detail has been included from the electric fireplace to the chalk boards and desks. We joked that it was fun to sleep in class without getting sent to the principals office. We hope to return some day.

There are so many small details of history to remind the visitor of the building's history, while also having comfortable accommodations. We spent so much time just looking over all the historical books, primers, old school posters, globes, etc. It was a really nice stay.
