About this house rental
Who said taking a break and going to school had to be mutually exclusive? Perfect for holiday seasons and family gatherings, this 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home in Florence was once the Arnold School and was built in 1889. Now a vacation rental, it features a garden, a fireplace, and blackboards. If you want a field trip, Marion County Lake and Marion Reservoir are just a short drive away for swimming, fishing, and lakeside leisure. Kids of all ages will love this unique retreat!

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
This home is amazing. Being a renovated historic school house it has sure made for a very nice large home. All of the rooms are very large and roomy and the kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities to make a large dinner. The playground on the property is a hit with the kids. The owner and property manager are very nice and respond very quickly.

This home is very large. They turned an old schoolhouse into a home. There is plenty of room and beds for our family. And plenty of bathrooms. The playground was also convenient.
