What stood out was the eclectic aesthetic of the entire place. Its already unique that it was a former school but seeing it converted into a rock school house with a dizzying array of art work, books, music, and rugs made it extremely fun. My family and I had great use out of the pool table, the instruments in the recording studio, and the kitchen with the loft bed. The host was attentive from start to finish, especially when it came to troubleshooting the furnaces around the home. Moreover, the rental is conveniently near a neighboring town for any essentials, nature trails, and a river.

Our extended family loves this place (8 to 80 yrs). The owner has somehow managed to keep the schoolhouse feeling while making it very comfortable for guests. The beautiful tall windows and high ceilings make it magical. The beautifully equipped music studio was enjoyed by all of our family. The pool table was also a big draw. The furnishings are spectacular and the kitchen well stocked. Nick was welcoming and available and made us all feel at home. Seeing our family around the long live edge table in the dining room was unforgettable. Don't miss this one. It is a memorable experience in a beautiful area.

Magical house

We’ve had full experience in Nick’s house. It was a real school for us - perfect place to unleash your creative energy. We’ll definitely come back! If you’re an artist - you’ll catch the flow. This place is full of magical artifacts and musical instruments! heads up: it’s hard to cook on the stove, not enough power. we’ve used outdoor grill with wood, it was perfect.

Great family time

Our family had a wonderful week.

Each room in the Cadosia Schoolhouse brings different emotions out of a large group of people. Spending time in each of the unique spaces will bring your loved ones closer than you ever thought possible. Places like this just don’t exist anywhere else.

If you like interesting curiosities all around and (dusty) antiques in a creative, outside-the-box place then this is for you. If you prefer 4 - 5 star accommodations with new furniture and linens, and a full staff dedicated to deep cleaning, maybe this is not your place.

Awesome stay with only 1 hiccup

The property was great for our group of friends. 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!

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.

Fun and unique!

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!!

Family Reunion

We loved that we were able to gather comfortably together as a large group (20) as well as break off in smaller groups for a jam session, play pool, watch tv and/or cook. 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!

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.

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.

Quite the experience!

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!
