Ribbon Ridge Schoolhouse

Deep in the Arkansas Ozarks, nestled in rolling hills, is an 1891 Schoolhouse that has been fully restored. The Ribbon Ridge school district was established On April 16, 1891 and was closed in the early 1940,s it averaged only 16 students per year.Only 12 miles southeast of Huntsville, we are located at the crossroads of the Ozarks. Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, and Springdale are less than 45 minutes away. The scenic Buffalo River is just 22 miles over mountain roads. On the scenic porch of this lovely cottage, the weary traveler can listen to birds calling, horses neighing and deer whistling. For the more energetic, miles of hiking and riding trails, also accessible by mountain bike, lie right outside the cottage door. This cottage style one room Schoolhouse includes a full kitchen and bathroom. Come spent a night or two back in time and enjoy the beauty and history of Northwest Arkansas.

Quiet stay in the Ozarks
The one-room schoolhouse was a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding Ozark trails and views. Halfway between the Buffalo National Senic River and cool Eureka Springs.

Cozy and peaceful getaway
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this unique historic schoolhouse. The owner provided everything we could possibly require and the property was exactly as described in the listing. The schoolhouse was central to all of the activities that we wanted to do and a peaceful place for some rest and relaxation. We enjoyed having dinner and watching the fireflies from the spacious front porch and taking evening walks along the tree lined country roads. Mr. Keith was a gracious host and we felt so welcome. Highly recommend!

Weekend getaway
Property with lots of history and in the middle of absolute nowhere! It seemed like we could see every star in the sky. Great getaway with Buffalo River trails and elk sightings nearby. Local eatery in Kingston was great. Great to get away from Tv and social media for a few days.

Amazing getaway
It was an amazing get away to unwind and unplug. The school house is exactly how it's advertised, clean, cozy and quaint. Keith was friendly and a great host. We hope to return in the future. Huntsville is a charming small town and worth checking out. Lots of hiking close by.

This was most definitely better than staying at some expensive hotel. It was quiet, private, and quaint. All we had to bring were our clothes and a few groceries. It was absolutely perfect and romantic and we will be booking again when close to that area. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! The host, Keith, was precious and accommodating! The best!

Charming Old School House
We loved staying at this old schoolhouse. Kitchen was just right to make our meals. Heaters kept us warm on the chilly nights. Star gazing was amazing! Keith is a great host. 25 minutes to get to the Buffalo National River area and enjoyed several hiking trails. As a former school teacher it was a fun experience!
