A Little Bit of History
This one-room schoolhouse educated local children from 1869 to 1966. Later, it became a beloved community gathering place before being restored into a private home in 2016. A full renovation in 2023 transformed it into the beautifully modern retreat it is today—where history, comfort, and nature come together in the most inviting way.

Summary: You just don't expect something this beautiful in a small town in Kansas. It's an ordinary old school house until you walk in. Granite counter tops, modern kitchen, cozy bedrooms. Beautiful well appointed bathrooms. It feels as if these owners really care about you. It's almost like you're staying at your bohemian grandma's house. She has banaids, and toothbrushes, body soap and shampoo, spices and coffee, soft sheets and comforters and "forts"for those who can go to the loft. There are two lofts, beautiful stairs! It looks as if the stairs are built from the desks of this old school house, but I did not confirm that with the owner. I didn't go up... I am afraid of heights, but my grandsons loved them. The coffee bar has regular and decaf coffee for you to use, and some tea. Beautiful mugs and creamers. Order your groceries ahead of time from Walmart and pick them up on your way to the school house. It's clean, neat, beautiful, completely supplied and very comfortable. The host is extremely responsive. There are wineries in the area to visit, we did not. As remote as this place is, there are still things to visit in the area. Just enjoy this place. it's awesome.

Summary: We were so blown away by the cleanliness, charm, and decor and design of the whole place. It was so beautiful and a wonderful experience spending each night by the fire pit and in the hot tub. The area was secluded enough to feel truly in the country, while it was less than an hour from the city. The owners were very nice and helpful, and quick to respond. We loved our whole experience and will definitely be back!

Summary: Perfect get a way for any occasion. The level of detail and design is very much appreciated. Just about anyone can rehab a home for vacation rental purposes, but converting a one room school house into a homey retreat is quite the feat. Stay here, you will love it!

Summary: We are a group of girlfriends who always get together for our holiday gathering after the hustle and bustle of the season - this year we decided that a getaway close to home was in order. We found this property in between all of us and fell in love. Adorably decorated, in the country, but close to town, room to relax together, fix meals, play games, laugh and just enjoy our friendship. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our weekend - the cold, snowy weather made it even better for us to hole up. We will definitely be back! We hope to make this an annual retreat for us!
