We had a family reunion nearby, and needed larger and more flexible lodging. Nick was gracious and kind, always informative, and we found the experience to be very special and memorable! So much to see inside the schoolhouse and not nearly enough time! The only thing that I would emphasize is that you MUST be able to do stairs. We didn’t mind a bit, and called it our “gym”, but if you cannot do them, I’d try another place. Thanks Nick!! ##### Christi B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill C.

We enjoyed the uniqueness of the building, the quick responsiveness of the owner and especially the beautiful dining table which allowed us to all sit together for meals. We relaxed around the fire pit chatting and listening to music late into the evenings. We played cornhole (our boards), frisbee and other activities throughout the day. This old schoolhouse is a good location for a private, group gathering. Thanks! We hope to return! ##### Jill C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew F.

Only downside was it was very dusty with cobwebs and a musty odor. A bigger problem was that the oven wasnt properly working and we werent notified of any issues with the listing until we were already at the property. Would have been nice for a little heads up on that seeing as we planned to cook most meals ourselves for the weekend. All in all a great trip and nick was a great host with plenty of hospitality! ##### Matthew F. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anya S. Jul 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Place for a Creative Endeavor We had a blast! The space serves creative exploration. The rooms are expansive and beautifully designed. There are mysteries to explore and treasures to find. Considering we were recording into the wee hours of every night it was amazing how sound proof the walls were. The studio room itself is big enough to record a live jam session with many players playing at the same time. The high ceilings not only added charm, they made the sound work for the recording. We hope to make this an annual retreat! Thanks to Nick for his care and attention. ##### Anya S. Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura B., Nutley, New Jersey Jan 12, 2019 #### Awesome spot with tons of space for everyone My gang of 15 had a great time spending New Years Eve at the schoolhouse. The beds were comfy and warm, and everyone had a place to sleep. The music room was amazing - absolutely the highlight of the place. The kitchen was also spacious enough to cook and serve a turkey dinner for everyone, and the two fridges were perfect - one for food and one for beer! I did misunderstand the listing though - the extra fee is per person per night, not total per night. Just a heads up to anyone else who might have the same confusion as me. ##### Laura B.

Jan 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super unique experience A group of 15 (including 7 teenagers) enjoyed the cozy and quirky vibe of this old schoolhouse. We cooked and enjoyed all our meals together in the spacious kitchen, jammed to the best of our ability in the music room, and played pool tournaments and board games throughout our stay. The sound system in the kitchen was so appreciated and we loved looking through the vinyl collection and other collectibles throughout the house. Our dogs also enjoyed their time. We had no problem at all keeping warm with the stoves. We were super toasty! The listing description and reviews other guests left prepared us for what to expect. We all appreciated Nick's hospitality and telling us about the history of the house and himself. We made memories together that we will never forget. ##### Marisa W.

I reserved the schoolhouse for my brother's bachelor party and instantly Nick was available to talk and answer any questions we had. I had a concern with the property owner living in an apartment in the basement- due to how loud or late i was expecting the party to carry into the night. This was not an issue at all! I would have sworn they weren't even there, so we didn't feel like there was intrusion from us or on us. Our trip was in January and was very cold. The wood stoves kept us all warm all night. It added a little something extra for us to NEED to feed and stoke the fires- definitely cool. The Kitchen/main space on the second floor is where we would hang into the night and cooked all of our meals. The kitchen worked out for what we needed and the extra fridge space made it even easier to do that. The Studio blew us away!!! I didn't think we would spend as much time in there as we did. A couple of the guys are musicians and it really added to the overall experience and memories of the weekend. We have a friend who is a music professor and he will most likely be booking in the future for some serious music centered weekends! Being that the building is an old schoolhouse, there was some dirt/cobwebs, but none of us felt like it was "dirty". I cant imagine how much work and time it takes for upkeep. Overall, all 18 guys had an incredible time and I would absolutely recommend this property in the future! Thanks Nick and Jaimie! ##### James B.

I had my amazing (and admittedly rather unorthodox) bachelor party in this fantastic and fun-filled house; a spectacular weekend with 15.5 of my closest friends, by the end of which the house itself felt like another new friend with just as much to contribute to the experience. It's got character, is what I'm trying to say. It's also got plenty of history, and, I'm sure, more secrets and surprises than we uncovered during our brief stay. And it's got the most impressive vinyl collection I've ever encountered. Each of the four massive, intriguingly multi-purpose rooms – the former classrooms – is simultaneously a living room, bedroom and something else besides (kitchen; music studio; pool room), and each one is full of curious objects and artifacts, including some nifty old educational posters. The 4th-5th grade classroom (with the kitchen and the killer record collection), where we spent most of our time, also features aerial fabrics (!) and a majestic "levitating" loft bed. (There's also one smaller sleeping space, with two beds, which was perfect for the couple-with-toddler in our party who needed some more privacy.) The various rooms in the house gave us the inspiration to stage a live-action game of Clue, but I guess that will have to wait until our next visit (or yours.) Nick is a very neat guy (he'd have to be, to have created a place like this) and was a great, helpful, friendly and accommodating host. Just a few negatives to note: the kitchen definitely leaves something to be desired if you're planning to do much cooking – the burners on the stove are finicky and needs to be lit each time you use them, and the oven is a "use at your own risk" proposition. The kitchen space is also pretty cramped and got extremely hot (on a late-June weekend, admittedly) in the process of making meals for our large group. Grilling and salads are probably good ways to go, especially if you're there in the summer. Finally – for better or worse: although the area affords some excellent opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, we were so wrapped up in enjoying the interior of the house that it was often a challenge to leave! ##### ross h. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail H. Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A truly awesome house The house surpassed expectation for sure. We are a group of 14 friends who get together every summer for a board game weekend, and while we usually pick a new house each time, we would for sure love to come back to this house again. The kitchen was great (we cooked all weekend) and the A/C worked very well. We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the rooms were when you closed the doors at the top and bottom of the staircase so those who wanted to hit the hay early could and those who wanted to stay up didn't need to stress over noise. The fire pit was also a hit, as were the recording studio and the impressive record collection. The house has so much personality, it was wonderful. Nick was a great host and we'd happily book another stay. ##### Abigail H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca T. Jan 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy Family Reunion This is a very unique property. You could spend hours perusing the various items in any of the rooms. We stayed in late December and enjoyed some snow. Be ready for stairs, lots of stairs. I found it difficult to get up and down the front stairs with intermittent access to the railings. The planter's probably look great in the warmer seasons, but for a cautious person afraid of falling, inability to hold the railing to go up and down slippery steps was a bit frustrating. The kitchen was small but the preparation surfaces were awesome. The stove and oven worked great as did the kitchen refrigerator. We had no problem preparing meals for 7, cleaning up and repeating the process. Recycling is encouraged but not really explained. Receptacles for different waste types would be nice. Additional notes would be to be aware of the winter-time heating method which is woodfired stoves. The building is permeated with wood smoke 24/7 so if you have asthma or other lung issues, this may not be the place for you. Also, the pool table is in a room with beds which makes it a tough place to hang out if someone is staying in that room. The owner lives in the basement which was kind of disconcerting if you don't know that upon arrival. Finally, there are no locks throughout the building including the front doors except for on the bathroom doors. If you are security-conscious, this may not be the place for you. I definitely recommend this place for families with older kids. There is too much mischief available for little kids to get into. Try reading "Murder in the Rue Morgue" by Poe. The bookmark is interesting. ##### Rebecca T. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mona a.
