There is a charming aura of history throughout the house that is coupled with all the modern conveniences. The appearance of the School House from the outside belies its spacious interior. From the outside, it looks like the one room school house it used to be. On the inside, however, there are two floors with generously sized rooms. On the entry level, the high ceilinged Common Room includes a well equipped kitchen, tables and chairs for dining and a comfy area for lounging. There is also an office/den as well as a full bathroom with a shower. Stairways lead to the lower level where there’s a large bedroom with a queen-sized bed, desk and a wide screen, wall TV. A sliding door leads to a full bathroom with a combination tub and shower. A washer/dryer is installed in a small room off of the bathroom. The furniture throughout the house (a mix of modern and antique), the art works and oriental rugs are seamlessly blended together. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, dinnerware, and an assortment of appliances. The stove is set in a center island. High speed fiber optic internet is provided by Verizon FIOS (300 Mbps). A blue stone patio allows for enjoyment of the property outside with a propane fired barbecue and table and chairs. Views of farm fields are the prominent vistas seen from inside and outside the house. All seasons at the house are distinctive. In the fall, the vistas of the multi-colored foliage are breathtaking; winter is serene; spring is noteworthy for early blossoms; and in summer nature shows off its bounty of flowering plants. The School House is available for year-round rental. Pets are welcome, but there is an added fee of $15 per pet per night. The property is located in northern Rensselaer County/upper Hudson Valley in a rural setting. The scenic agricultural landscape surrounding the house reflects the paintings by Grandma Moses, the renowned folk artist who lived in the area. It is just 5 miles from the village of Hoosick Falls. Grocery and drug stores, banks, restaurants, and a variety of specialty stores are about 6 miles away. The house is within easy driving distance of larger towns such as Bennington, VT, Saratoga Springs, NY and Williamstown, MA. Cambridge, NY (a 15-minute drive) offers an active community arts center with theater and musical performances (Hubbard Hall Projects), and surrounding communities offer a wide range of cultural and sporting activities.

Saratoga Springs, NY (a 55-minute drive) has thoroughbred horse racing and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, the National Museum of Dance and the National Museum of Racing. Bennington, VT (a 35-minute drive) has the Bennington Museum, Bennington Battle Monument, and Bennington Pottery. Manchester, VT (a 45-minute drive) is known for its discount shopping outlets, including Orvis, the famous store/school specializing in fly fishing. The nearby Battenkill River is a must for trout fishing, and the Little Hoosic River also offers fine fishing opportunities. Antiquing is a popular pastime in the area which has numerous antique stores. Hiking trails are also plentiful within a half hour to an hour’s drive. There are several horseback riding stables in the area and numerous lakes for swimming. Nearby lakes include Lake Paran, N. Bennington, VT; Lake Shaftsbury, Shaftsbury, VT., Lake Lauderdale, Cambridge, NY; Grafton Mt. Lakes and Grafton Lakes, State Park, Grafton, NY.

Other nearby golf courses can be found at the Hoosick Falls Country Club; Mount Anthony Country Club, Bennington, VT; and Windy Hills Golf Course in Greenwich, NY.

The area, quiet and peaceful.Just general warning if staying in this area during a snow storm : it's on small roads which get plowed less often than the bigger roads and there are chances for a power outage. ##### Dima K.

So hard to explain how the integrity of the old school house has been restored while it also being updated, clean and new inside. The home was spotless and has every amenity you can imagine. The host, Connie is a dream to work with and has put so much love and attention to detail into this very special place. Our dog loved roaming the property and was tired out every night.

We were looking for an escape from the city on NYE weekend. This location met all of our needs - it was in the country, so away from the fireworks but close enough to nearby towns to enjoy a day of sightseeing in both NY and VT. It was lovely to read about the history behind the schoolhouse, and overall the character of the building added something special to our stay. It had everything we needed and more, and we had a wonderful experience. ##### Anjel V. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher J.

Truly the most conscientious and thoughtful VRBO or rental home we have stayed at in over 13 years of regularly traveling. A central location for us to visit many communities we were interesting exploring what the hype was all about; NY City, The Berkshires/Lenox, MA, Catskills/Woodstock NY, Southern Vermont. Fantastic kitchen with all the cookware, utensils, and space we needed. Perfectly quiet, very peaceful, a loved historical home and land. ##### Christopher J.

The setting was pastoral and changed with the light. The home renovation was both beautiful and functional. From the bedroom sanctuary to the main level that looked out on beautiful agricultural land from every vantage point - the home surpassed all our expectations. Our pup also enjoyed his time- finding cozy corners to nap and trails to explore. He thoroughly loved our walks - both on the property and while visiting historic sites a short drive away. The location is perfect for walking, running, and cycling. The grill and outdoor patio made meal prep a breeze! And the well stocked kitchen, trail guides, and excursion suggestions were so helpful and appreciated. We are already looking forward to our next visit! ##### Paul R.

The area surrounding it is quiet and spectacularly beautiful (especially during autumn). We can't recommend this property highly enough. If you are seeking a tranquil retreat, this is it. ##### elizabeth b. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley G. Aug 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent The schoolhouse was beautiful and like staying in a museum with its history and so well thought out- had everything my husband and I (and a dog) could need. The scenery or God’s beautiful creation in the area was breathtaking. It was worth being in a rural area and having to drive a little to get to a grocery store or restaurant. There are a ton of farms surrounding the area. There is also 100 acres of land owned by the host to walk on if you like to hike. The host was great too and so helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area. ##### Ashley G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip W.

We had everything we needed including a well-appointed kitchen, top of the line bath products, and a wonderful property to roam. It was everything we hoped for and more. ##### Dominique H.

Connie is a great host and did things like bring us folding chairs for our birthday party held there. She was very responsive and obviously has invested herself into making this school house a historic destination. I admire her vision and attention to detail. Highly recommend it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PETRA S., New York, NY, USA Feb 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfort and cosiness in rolling hills Beautifully restored/hypermodernized, stylish, very complete and very clean. Lots of love went into this property and the result is the cosiest, most comfortable you can imagine. The 2 of us and our doggie had a blast working ‘from home’, wandering, cooking, lounging, sledding and going to different skiresorts in area. . ##### PETRA S.

From the moment we walked in the door we couldn’t have been more pleased. The house is beautifully renovated and perfectly appointed, and the surrounding fields, woods and beaver pond provided hours of chilly winter wanderings. We came to the area to visit family for Christmas and were just as comfy and cozy as we would have been in our own home! Thanks, Connie - we will see you again soon! ##### Linda D.
