It’s a beautifully renovated historic schoolhouse on a quaint farm in the beautiful hills of Chester County. It was so rekaxing having coffee on the patio listening to the chickens pecking nearby and hearing the occasional tinkle of the milk cow bell nearby. Not to mention the delicious farm fresh eggs I made for breakfast!The property has everything you could possibly need…,including a generator when a storm knocked out power for 2-3 days! I’ll definitely be back! ##### nina c. Stayed 40 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### anne p.

Out in the country but minutes from Longwood Gardens, Brandywine River Museum, and Winterthur. There was a plumbing issue and the hosts did everything they could to resolve it, and were very forthcoming and accommodating. It was disappointing but based on the property and the professionalism of the hosts I would definitely stay in the future. ##### anne p.

Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Practically Perfect in Every Way It's hard to know where to begin with this incredible place. It strikes the perfect balance between historic charm and modern comfort—rustic yet thoughtfully updated. Every detail was considered, and the result is a space that feels warm, cozy, and inviting. The location is ideal—just about 20 minutes from all the major sights, with some fantastic restaurants nearby. One of our favorite parts was watching the chickens, sheep, and cows across the street—it added a special, peaceful touch. We're big on cooking during our travels, and the kitchen here was top-notch. The stove, oven, and cookware exceeded expectations. We truly felt at home. ##### Gretchen H. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly G.

If you are looking for a stay that is first class, well-appointed, relaxing, peaceful, and a bit out-of-the-ordinary, check out this place! The hosts have done such a great job on the remodel! This property is situated on a quiet country road but is only 6 miles from places to get food and shop. We loved hearing the chickens, ducks, pigs, and goats! Any hotel could not compare. ##### Shelly G. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig R. Jan 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Holiday Stay! Our stay at Ground Hog College was for an extended time during the holidays. From the moment we walked through the door, until the day we drove away (with a tear in my eye, I might add), we felt like we were living out a classic holiday movie.The hosts made sure to make us feel at home by decorating the living quarters in true Christmas fashion. Magical. The historical nature of the former country schoolhouse has been preserved while still providing all the modern amenities one could possibly need. The hosts' attention to detail in design, decor, and the provided amenities was impeccable. The accommodations were not only visually impressive, the ambience was cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed was amply provided for, and when the odd occasion popped up where we needed something, the hosts were prompt in responding to ensure our needs were met. We absolutely loved the sounds of the working farm all around us. Each morning as we grabbed our first cup of coffee, we were greeted with the morning calls of roosters, cows, sheep, goats and geese. We would spend our mornings with a cup of coffee in the front sitting room, watching the sun creep up into the sky and the farm animals happily roam across the pastures.The accommodations were the perfect size for the two of us, but ample enough that we were able to have guests visit us for occasional get-togethers.We will always treasure our stay at Ground Hog College! ##### Craig R.

This was our very first time using a rental service vs. staying at a B & B. From the moment you step inside you get a feeling of peace. So much so, that you won't want to leave. The building itself has been restored in such a beautiful way showcasing some very talented craftsmanship. The hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need during your stay. A full service kitchen with an assortment of Kurigs and teas, all kitchen supplies if you would like to cook, everything so tastefully decorated. When you step into your bedroom/living area, it's simply breath taking. Being able to have a fire during our stay made it very comfortable and cozy. We even dined by the fire one night. The shades come down over the windows so you're able to sleep in the morning atop a fluffy, cozy bed with ample pillows. The shower is heavenly, and the bathroom has everything you need. Also inside the room is a wardrobe to hang your clothes and storage space under the bed for your bags. I loved sitting on the porch with a blanket in the morning when the sun came up. The cows across the street would lay by the fence. My favorite part was that there are sheep and cows on the property. They are the sweetest animals. We cannot wait to come back to this tranquil place in our favorite area. Donna even made my husband's birthday special by having some balloons there when we arrived. Thank you for such a great time! ##### Amy Beth B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S.

Everything we needed! From the fire pit to breakfast recommendations to television and privacy shades, we could not have asked for more.

Jun 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Over the last fifteen years my wife and I have stayed in dozens of short term rental offerings, from Maine to South Carolina. This was by far the best site we have ever experienced. The renovation of this 100 year plus school house was done by the owner at a level of appropriateness to the historical site and at a quality of workmanship that is extraordinary. The surrounding area was left natural and their many animals were fun to watch and they enjoyed their life there. World Class all the way! ##### John K.

We absolutely loved the charm of the farm setting and how intimate and unique that made our wedding day. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible and were very accommodating and incredibly kind! We are so grateful to them for everything! Each of our guests were in awe of the schoolhouse and how beautifully renovated it was. If you are looking for a place to just enjoy the cozy countryside in West Chester or are searching for a special venue for your event, don’t hesitate to book this wonderful spot. ##### Anna B.
