Please reach out to Sarah & Greg (hosts) via the app or website from which you rented if you cannot find the answer to your question. Thank you!
In total the house is 840 sq ft; when it was a one-room schoolhouse, it was a bit smaller than that, but after becoming a private residence in the mid-1900's, a small addition was added to the back which we have converted to laundry and a full bathroom. In total the house has two bedrooms, one that has a king size bed and the other has twin bunks (which have a high weight-capacity and can sleep adults on both beds). It is well suited for four adults, or two adults and 2 children in the bunks with the option to put an additional child in the provided pack-and-play crib.
The WiFi is high-speed internet provided by Starlink. We have no problems streaming movies, conducting video conferences and using multiple devices in the house. This is a lovely place to retreat for work and play!
There is a small chalkboard hanging on the wall next to the front door with the wifi network and password. You can also access this information from within your rental contract in the app or website for which you rented the schoolhouse. And feel free to reach out to Sarah & Greg as well!
For simple items that you need quickly, there is a large gas station (Exxon) and 711 off the main road before you begin up the mountain to the schoolhouse.
The Giving Tree, located on route 55 at the turn on to Fiery Run Road (main road leading up the mountain) is a fabulous and somewhat seasonal store for gourmet items like cheeses, fruits and veggies and local meats. We have also seen that they sell firewood in case you want to use the fire pit!
The closest chain options are in Front Royal, Virginia about 15-20 minutes from the house and include: Aldi, Target, Shoppers and other big stores.
Yes! We have a brand new mini-split HVAC system. There is a large unit above the kitchen that is operated by remote control on the wall (it is very straightforward on/off, heat or cool, select your temp) and a smaller unit in the primary bedroom, also operated by remote control mounted on the wall. There are also fans in the great room and both bedrooms and bathroom. If you find yourself on a particularly hot or cold day, start running the mini split system right when you arrive to get to optimal temperature in all rooms; turning on the fans will also help circulate the hot or cold air.
We have a 10,000 gallon above-ground pool with attached pool deck with chaise lounge and a chair. The pool is NOT heated and temps will vary based on weather and air temp.
The pool is typically open June 1 - September 15 and a maintenance company services and cleans the pool weekly on Tuesdays. You are welcome to use the pool in-season, but must first discuss this with Sarah & Greg (hosts) and sign the pool waiver ahead of your stay. No children under the age of 14 may be given access to the pool steps, deck or pool without an adult within the pool gates supervising at all times. No glass of any kind is allowed into the pool or on the pool deck (please utilize the plastic wine cups and other plastic cups provided). Please make sure you shut the pool gate completely when you are finished using the pool and when you check out of the property.
The schoolhouse is equipped with smart locks at the front and back doors. There are security cameras placed on the outside of the house front/back (there are NO cameras inside the house, for your privacy). The pool has a secure gate attached to the porch.
In the kitchen we provide the following:

Unfortunately, no, we do not allow pets at this property. We are sensitive to guests allergies as well as the historic elements of the house and therefore cannot accommodate any pets.
YES! The house is on one level. We provide an Ikea highchair for use in the dining room, a pack-and-play (please bring your preferred bedding, the P&P is standard size) and a small selection of toys and books for smaller children.
For children of all ages, the pool is a big hit during this summer season (please note that no children under the age of 14 should be allowed within the pool gate or in the pool without direct adult supervision within arms reach)! We also have some additional books for school-aged children onsite and of course streaming TV and fast wifi!
