First floor has a separate bedroom with queen bed and queen size pullout sofa, as well as private bath with shower, spacious living room with tv, and fully stocked kitchen.

    Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse
    Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse. The cabin was very well equipped for a rental. We usually come well prepared, but I will say that there was everything you need already there which we really appreciated. We used the outdoor fire ring multiple times, we used the Weber charcoal grill, and the outdoor seating. The AC worked fine and the beds were more comfortable than your typical rental cabin. We also fished (bank and row boat) and we walked around the grounds. The fishing was tough - mostly some really small 8-10IN bass from all 3 ponds. If you stay in the schoolhouse, you'll have neighbors staying across the pond, but as long as your neighbors are well mannered and observe quiet hours, then you'll experience plenty of peace and quiet. I don't hesitate to recommend and I would stay again.

    Canton Trip
    Visited Canton Market Days - Property manager was great. Cleaning crew could of did a little better, old coffee grinds in coffee maker and dirty wash clothes in shower, and hair in the bath tub upstairs. If staying and needing more than 1 bedroom the upstairs has no stair up from the inside, only outside. But was great for what we needed - just a place to stay after shopping all day long.

    Great Hideaway Weekend
    We spent the weekend at the red schoolhouse cabin while attending the Canton First Monday swap meet. The cabin and grounds were a nice respite to the hustle and bustle of the swap meet. We walked the grounds, built a fire under the starlit skies and slept soundly in the quiet solitude of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
