About this house rental
This is a 5,000 sq ft farmhouse. It was built in 1891 as the local one room schoolhouse, bell tower and all. The home is amazing with tons of character. There are 2 master suites, one with a fireplace and balcony. There are two other small bedrooms. 5 bathrooms total. Family room with smart t.v. , a kids playroom, and a bright, sunny kitchen with stainless steel appliances. A beautiful dining room with a 13ft farm table. A pool, jacuzzi and raised vegetable beds in the backyard. A fuji apple orchard. A large open grass field, for football, volleyball, or running around. We strongly suggest safe swimmers only, as the pool is not fenced in . We do not allow children under ten for this reason unless it is cleared with me . There is a guest house on sight . This houses up to 4 people on the upstairs unit and 2 on the downstairs. You may expand your group and rent these as well . (At times , there are renters in the guest units and grounds may be shared . )Most often you have grounds to yourself, but ask to be sure . We are happy to block the guest units so you have grounds to yourself without other guests . Although, on occasion when Mike and I are not traveling , we stay in the upper guest house and give you utmost privacy . We will have our pooch with us , a 3 yr old Golden Doodle very friendly , so he occasionally will be out in the yard ....if you or your children are afraid or do not like dogs this will not be a fit . Thanks ! Any questions just pls inquire …. Diane & Mike
During Covid we are doing our best to keep it separate, although one night may overlap .

Our stay was absolute perfection, from the first moment of communication, to the seamless arrival, and our entire stay. The home is completely magical, such a special home, with loads of room to relax, and enjoy. We rented the entire space, and loved the pool, the amazing kitchen, the giant dining table, and all the beautiful eclectic touches in the home. The hosts were easy to communicate with, and were there for any and all of our needs. We will LOVE to come back again, and again!!! Thank you!!

We came for a couple of days to find some quiet and some space. The Schoolhouse was such a cool spot with all of its history plus the pool! Definitely offered quiet and space and was great for our family. Diane and Mike are lovely people who made us feel very welcome.

Very relaxing and enjoyable stay - would love to visit again. Well equipped kitchen, lots of space to spread out - and the pool, hot tub and outdoor dining made it feel relaxing.

While this was in a very pleasant setting, we feel that there was room for improvement in the small details. This is a charming quiet property that was very convenient for our purpose of being in the area.
However, it seems like the owners were not prepared for us. When we called to say we were in the area, they mentioned that the previous guests had just left and that things would not be ready for a while. We spent a couple of hours over lunch to give them some time.
It would have been nice for there to have been toiletries for the shower. Towels were not made available to us until the next day but there were a couple of "pool" towels that we used.
The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans as well as with plates and flatware. But it was thrown together and not made easy to find what one might need to prepare a meal. Not conducive to home cooking if that is what you might anticipate.
Our big concern was the bed. With two in it, it sagged and was not comfortable.
