Deep in the Arkansas Ozarks, nestled in rolling hills, is an 1891 Schoolhouse that has been fully restored. The Ribbon Ridge school district was established On April 16, 1891 and was closed in the early 1940,s it averaged only 16 students per year.Only 12 miles southeast of Huntsville, we are located at the crossroads of the Ozarks. Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, and Springdale are less than 45 minutes away. The scenic Buffalo River is just 22 miles over mountain roads. On the scenic porch of this lovely cottage, the weary traveler can listen to birds calling, horses neighing and deer whistling. For the more energetic, miles of hiking and riding trails, also accessible by mountain bike, lie right outside the cottage door. This cottage style one room Schoolhouse includes a full kitchen and bathroom. Come spent a night or two back in time and enjoy the beauty and history of Northwest Arkansas.

    This is a beautiful, historic property! Keith, the owner, has done a fantastic job of renovating an 1891 school house into an amazing vacation rental. This place has everything you need to stay however long you want to; fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove, nice shower with no trouble getting and keeping hot water, washer and dryer, microwave, deck, small grill...awesome! It was cloudy when we were there, but this would be a wonderful spot to enjoy the stars while sitting on the deck. We also enjoyed the historical books in the living room area. There are dates and pictures and copies of teacher registers back to 1915. So cool! Really, I can't say enough good things about this place. We loved it!

    This was most definitely better than staying at some expensive hotel. It was quiet, private, and quaint. All we had to bring were our clothes and a few groceries. It was absolutely perfect and romantic and we will be booking again when close to that area. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! The host, Keith, was precious and accommodating! The best!

    Very unique property. Renovated OLD Schoolhouse. Very quaint and quiet. loved the deck where you could watch the stars...sooooo many stars lol. I know there aren't more stars in the country, but you can certainly see more of them at night here! We were on our 1st year anniversary and had a fabulous time!

    The place was exactly as advertised, had lots of charm, and was a great way to unwind with nature. Very clean.

    Wasps inside when arrived. Killed 7 with a fly swatter. No hot water in shower at night or in morning after leaving it run for 20 min. Bought wasp/hornet spray. Location should be explained in description of place. Very remote and down a dirt road. May not be a good place for single people. Asked for a 1 night refund due to wasps and hot water, was denied. (Crappy way to treat customers, since our daughter lives in Huntsville and we'll be back 2x /yr.)Should have checked place same day before anyones arrival. Hard to miss the wasps! Sk

    Staying in a one room school was an interesting experience. I wish we had had more time to explore the immediate area but we were too busy trying to take in so many of the sights nearby. We visited Terra Studios near Elkins. Crystal Bridges, War Eagle Mill,and Eureka Springs. Harrison is a good central location so maybe next time we can explore to the east for some more lovely parts of Arkansas.

    I wasn’t expecting dirt/gravel roads but it was ok. I didn’t have a TV. It was just what I was looking for. A getaway from city life!

    The one-room schoolhouse was a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding Ozark trails and views. Halfway between the Buffalo National Senic River and cool Eureka Springs.
