Charming, eclectic and well-loved space

This place is truly wonderful and well-maintained. Every amenity was provided for, down to heated mattress pads/sheets. Although we spent the coldest new year in the school house, the stoves heat everything nicely and was just what we expected. Nick was very clear about the stoves heating the building and it added such a nice vibe to our experience. Every room is well taken care of and has its own character and flavor. It's just such a wonderful space and atmosphere. Thanks Nick & Jamie for creating such a lovely space and sharing it with us! We hope to come back in the summer time!

Amazing Place For Music Lovers

Nick and Jaimie were incredibly generous hosts, and this schoolhouse is really something special. My friends and I used the music studio every day, which has some really insane and great-sounding gear, and had a lot of fun poring through the huge record collection in the TV room, listening to everything from King Crimson to NIN to Mozart. We sat around the fire pit and used the grill every night, as well, and played some pool in the pool room. We went and tubed a river one day (the company that rents the tubes are just down the street), and otherwise went and swam in the nearby Delaware river every day, which was a 5 minute drive away. It was the perfect weekend for our musically-inclined friend's bachelor party (but even the non-musicians loved their stay here). If you're looking for a unique getaway, absolutely book this place--you won't regret it!

Lots of fun and character at a great location!

I was one of 11 people on our trip and there was plenty of room for all of us! The house was great and had lots of charm from records to a music room to a lofted bed. We have stayed in a lot of places, but this was the most unique. The hosts were quick to respond to text messages if we had any questions and that made things easier for us. Our only issue, which had a solution, was that it was cold. The weekend was colder than expected, and we heated the place by keeping fires going in the stoves. Everyone liked the fires, but it was an unexpected aspect of the trip. It was cooler than people would have liked, but overall it was a great time. We would go back even if we had to keep building fires.

A unique gem

I went with a group of 13 people for our annual "friends trip". We had a blast. They were a few musicians in the group and we did jam a little bit which was cool, but that wasn't the primary focus of the trip. There is a river close by where we did a 2-3 hour relaxing tubing trip - a great way to start your day after a night of drinking... The owners were very friendly and welcoming. For the price, I would certainly recommend this to another group.

Great friends weekend.

Loved the location. We ended up with a total of 7 guests. More than enough room from all us. The record collection was phenomenal. Something for all tastes there. Our only complaint is that it's cold in this place during the winter, the wood stoves helped get it warm, but those are a lot of work for those less inclined or capable of building and maintaining a fire. Luckily we're fire building folk and frequently spend time in tents versus homes. Besides that, we had an amazing experience. Nick was always available when we needed him. The house was eclectic and well styled. Don't expected to watch cable. A TV is and was available for us but we never used it. But if you're expecting Netflix look elsewhere. This is a location for moderate to large groups. We started with 4 and that was nice, but more will make it more fun. Worth the money. Worth the experience. Definitely a place to be.

Comfortable and inviting

The owners, Nick and Jaimie, were SO friendly. Jaimie stayed in the bunker in the basement during my stay and was always around when I had questions. It appears that they are constantly updating the house and I am excited to see it again in the future.
