Picturesque School House Retreat

Interesting historical location. Comfortable. Farmers' markets nearby were nice; good pies. Quiet and relaxing. Great and large outdoor space. Lots of nearby scenic views and photo ops.

Well organized, clean and logical. High cleanup fee.

Lovely, large property. Very private. The school house, while generally comfortable (living area nicely decorated), clean and functional as accommodations, is in need of some attention (e.g., one of the burners on the stove didn't work, screen doors didn't close well and latches were difficult, faucet taps were loose, etc). Expect somewhat rustic.

My family was the first owner, 1969, of this one room school house. Rustic then, and a family retreat for 15 years. Upgraded now. Just interesting to have our daughters and a granddaughter to enjoy similar time.

Our stay was the most delightful and relaxing all thanks to the amazing location, build, atmosphere and character of this historical cottage. Very clean and thoughtfully designed to give the feeling of home. Plenty of amenities like extra towels, board games, fridge, stove, cooking supplies and more to ensure that everything needed for a enjoyable trip is present. Please don’t hesitate if thinking about staying at this location, you won’t regret it.

A very nice stay in a unique renovated school house. Close to the ski resorts for skiing, the Scandinavian Spa and the small towns.

Beautiful property which is exactly as pictured/described. Main room has lots of natural light with large windows looking out onto property. It snowed while we were there and it was very relaxing to sit by the fire and look out to the snow covered trees. Kitchen is well stocked. We slept better at the cottage than at home, so much so that when we got home we realized how uncomfortable our own mattresses were compared to the cottage. Check in/ check out instructions were very clear and Alena was responsive to any inquiries. Very quiet area but close to Meaford. Definitely plan on coming back to this property.

The School House was great! Everything as advertised and the owner Alena was very sweet and helpful. Wifi worked great so it was an awesome place to work remotely. And the blackboards were great to work out some ideas!

Property was clean and comfortable. Coffee maker didn’t work so had to just pour hot water through it. Could use a hanging rack in the upstairs bedroom or something to put your suitcase on.

Very calm, relaxe, out of beated trails. Very Nice backyard to read and relaxe. An hour drive to main attractions. Perfect for a famiily. Only downside, not a lot of hot water.

This is a beautiful property just outside the town of Meaford. Essentially a turn of the century schoolhouse updated with modern amenities while retaining it's country charm. Beautiful 2+ acres of field and trees; plenty of shade and play space for the kids. Outdoor gazebo with dining table and BBQ for diner time meals. Quiet, secluded and peaceful, but within 10 minutes of beaches, tourist attractions and restaurants. Alena was prompt with answers to all our questions. An ideal spot for a family vacation!

Was on a motorcycle trip with 3 other friends and this location was perfect for our landing each day. It was close enough to all the amenities you could want (shopping; hiking; beach and activities) yet far enough away to give you the true cottage appeal. Price was right too!
