About this place

30s School Upstairs 1BR/Kitchen/Pool/Gym NO FEES

This classic schoolhouse was built in 1931. It still has that vintage charm, and we have filled the apartments with turn of the century inspired furniture and decor, yet adding modern conveniences. Many of the items date back to its use as a elementary school. Our goal is to make it as warm, welcoming, and comfortable as possible. We have a pool, full gymnasium with sports, workout area with a Peloton (bring your own cycling shoes), and ping pong. There is a fire pit, big lawn, and fort area.

There is one queen bed, and we have a roll away bed and the couches are very comfortable if you don't mind sleeping on a couch. Max capacity is 4 people, including kids. We also have a roll away twin bed you can use.
