Unlock a Forgotten Past at The Schoolhouse Cottage · Dog-Friendly

The schoolhouse was absolute perfection and so unbelievably charming! We spent most of our time alternating between the two porches, just enjoying the relaxing outdoor space. Callie keeps the schoolhouse pristinely clean, which offered great peace of mind as we visited during the pandemic. I reached out to Callie a few times before, during and after our stay, and she was always so pleasant and quick to respond. We thoroughly enjoyed the Dahlonega community, even though we barely cared to leave the schoolhouse! ❤️ Lots of great outdoor space and fun local activities. Visited the Consolidated Gold Mine and went tubing in the Chestatee River, both a great time! I would recommend everyone book some time at this gorgeous place. We can’t wait to go back :) P.S. I read some reviews mentioning the couch being uncomfortable. I see why people may feel that way since it’s more “firm,” but I honestly wouldn’t describe it as uncomfortable. I curled up with a blanket for a movie, and I was perfectly comfortable! I think it would only stand out to someone who prefers a squishier couch; so it’s really just a preference thing :)

The area was quiet and serene. The property has amazing views and you can even view some wildlife.

Probably one of the best VRBO rentals we've stayed at in a while. The location was perfect for everything. Close to Dahlonega, wineries, great restaurants, kayaking and more. The rental itself was very clean, especially for a pet friendly place. I was very impressed. Callie provided everything you need and then some. She was also very quick to answer questions and super nice. Overall I can't say anything bad about our experience. We really enjoyed it there.

The house was really nice. Extremely clean and organized. It had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely one of the most gorgeous homes we have stayed in. Pictures do not do it justice. Perfect for our family of 3 and convenient to everything we were doing in Dahlonega. Absolutely stunning decor and host really thought of all the smallest details. Super comfortable beds with luxury linens. Highly recommend to anyone and certainly would love to stay again.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Historical Schoolhouse. Callie was very communicative with us even letting us know before arrival that there was an internet issue in the area. She continued to stay in contact and give us updates as she received. I had a couple of questions that Callie answered quickly. The schoolhouse was warm and inviting as soon we stepped in the front door. The little extra touches throughout made it feel like a home away from home. Although we didn’t bring our dog with us, I loved how dog friendly the schoolhouse was. I already know that if we have another stay in Dahlonega, I’m checking the Schoolhouse first to see if it is available!

Very nice location with lots of privacy. Nicely decorated with interesting and relatable antiques relevant to the old school house. Kitchen had great cookware and dishes. Porches were beautiful. Our pets enjoyed the time there, too.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The host thought of absolutely everything! It was clean, nicely decorated, and very peaceful.

We have found our new favorite place to stay in Dahlonega. The home is extremely charming as described and in the perfect location. Our host was very friendly and accommodating. We are already planning another stay.

The house was adorable. I wish we had more time.

Great Location, easy communication with the host, super clean!

This place is a so cozy!! It had everything you could need and more. It was cold so we didn’t get to use the fire pit, but we are planning on coming back when it’s warmer! The host was very responsive and had everything organized so you felt at home.

The schoolhouse was so charming! Our host was so helpful. The place was about 5 minutes from Dahlonga and 25 minutes from Helen. Our stay was perfect.

Amazing stay in an amazing place, we had such a great time and were able to unwind for a bit. We will be back and will stay longer next time, it was that good!Thank you!

We had a wonderful experience.

We can’t say enough great things about this house and the host. Callie’s attention to detail is outstanding, she responded immediately to questions, and even filled a dog bowl with water for our arrival! The beds were extra comfy, everything in the house is new and high end- great showers, fully stocked kitchen, great seating with 3 fully separate porches (2 are screened), easy to use gas fire pit with a beautifully lit yard- even a swing in the yard which our kids loved. The driveway and road were easy and not steep or curvy. Great neighborhood to walk the dog. Close to stores and hiking/waterfalls, only 30 min from Helen which is fun. The house was just so aesthetically pleasing that it made the trip feel luxurious. We couldn’t stop taking pictures for decorating ideas. If I could have Callie decorate our house…! Thank you for making our Thanksgiving dinner and trip so special Callie! This is not just your average house rental!

I don’t know where to start, everything was so nice. Clean, best quality sheets and towels, extremely well stocked kitchen. It was like we had walked into our own home, just bring a Change of clothes and something to eat. The pictures do not do this place justice. Fire pit super easy to light, outdoor lighting brought a fairytale atmosphere, 2 porches with lots of comfy seating. The owner has managed to capture and maintain the beauty of an old building with rich history, yet make it super cozy and comfy. HIGHLY recommend! Will definitely be back. Thank you for making our getaway so wonderful!

You need to rent this place. It's the cutest, cleanest, quaint little place. We've been here a couple times because we just love it. The host is amazing too.

Very clean , comfortable and great place to relax

When we arrived the house was spotless. Very warm and inviting. We had a problem unlocking the door when we arrived and the owner responded immediately. The house was exactly as depicted on line. We hope to go back there again.

Callie was great at communicating. Property was a short drive to town so was very convenient but out enough to feel like you were away from the busy hustle of the square to make it relaxing.

Lovely house, well maintained. It was quiet and relaxing. Would highly recommend it.

A perfect stay in a perfect home! The “old schoolhouse” is my favorite VRBO rental and this was my second stay. It has everything you’d ever need, is super clean and charming, and feels so welcoming!

What an adorable, idyllic and peaceful cabin. The host has thought of every detail. Clean, cozy and welcoming. I’d love to go back.

This place was just so...just so immaculate, just so well provisioned, just so convenient! In fact, it was just so pet friendly, we didnt need to unpack our dog bowls! Dahlonega is a wonderful town to visit, also pet friendly. But mostly, this beautiful cabin in the woods seems miles and miles away from whatever worries you! Stay a night, stay a week, but stay here if you're in the area! Just so you know what we now know!

Nice and peacefil location, except for the curvey road going back to the squate

We chose this little cottage for our home base while attending the UNG Book Fair. What a perfect respite! The porches were divine. The decor was warm and inviting. Our host was friendly and available-- leaving a small treat in the fridge even! It is a perfect hide away. Highly recommend.

The description of this little cottage was perfect - it was extremely charming! Callie was the ultimate host, providing all the amenities we needed & more. And the fact that the cottage was pet-friendly was an added benefit. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of previous pets being there, but we literally could not tell there have ever been other animals in the house. It was spotless. I highly recommend this cottage for a stay...squeaky floorboards & all! (They just added to the charm!)

Wonderfully decorated and managed property. The amount of thought put in by Callie is abundantly clear. You'll find that she provided everything you might need to ensure that you are comfortable and feel at home. The home is charming and warm and comfortable and located approximately 12 minutes from all the major areas you want to visit in the downtown. One of the best and most enjoyable stays I've had in after dozens of rentals.

Great house! Easy check in, great communication! Definitely recommend.

The Schoolhouse is absolutely gorgeous! Everything was so well thought out. Serene location, well equipped kitchen, couldn’t ask for more. Best VRBO we’ve stayed in!! We will be back!

It was perfect!

The best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in!! House was spotless! Looks exactly like the listing. Anything we needed was there! Callie thinks of everything from multiple wine and champs glasses to bathroom products that you might have forgotten. I spent at least 2 hrs everyday on the master balcony porch swing. The bed was so comfy and the linens we the best. We saw deer, fireflies and owls! The most perfect relaxing spot! Callie was very responsive to the few questions we had. Can’t wait for our next stay there.

We loved the location. It was very quiet and peaceful. The screened in porch was lovely to sit and enjoy the swing without being lunched on by mosquitoes.

Having family history in the Dahlonega area, the Schoolhouse Cottage was the perfect choice for us. Callie's attention to detail and her respect of history are such a part of the cottage from the beautiful decor to the books documenting the history of education as well as life in the mountains. I found pictures of my father as a young teacher in her book on schoolhouses and pictures of my grandfather as a long-time educator. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and the Schoolhouse is our top choice when we return to Dahlonega.

Callie was a wonderful host, and the property was gorgeous and neat as a pin. The porches are so relaxing, and the location was secluded yet convenient. We traveled for our son’s graduation from UNG, and our stay made it an even more fabulous trip. We’d give 10 stars if we could.

Set up just perfectly and so clean! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need.

The place was great. It was all decorated for Christmas for some out of country friends that visited us for the holidays. They had a great time. Thanks for everything.

the schoolhouse from 1848 is WONDERFUL. beautifully loved and redone. the owner has put so much thought into her place, so many special touches. anything extra you might need, it’s here. hubby and I started joking that if it wasn’t provided we must not need it (really rare). we hope to return to dahlonega and we sure want to stay here.

This was a girls trip, just two of us. My friend always wanted to stay here, finally got the opportunity to… and it was great! The only negative comment that we can give is, if you stay in the front bedroom, be prepared for a 6 AM wake up with the garbage truck (Friday morning for us)….not good! Such a sweet retreat, thank you!

We absolutely loved every minute and every inch of the old schoolhouse! Super comfortable and clean, decorated beautifully, and equipped with everything you could want. Felt private and restful - we will return!

Callie has checked all the boxes! Location, cleanliness, character, and just the perfect getaway! The schoolhouse has such a warm atmosphere that you literally never want to leave! We will be back soon! Thank you again Callie!

This was our annual mother/daughter trip. The personal touches throughout the school house were perfect. One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed. We enjoyed the boardgames in the closet, sitting out by the fire pit, and just enjoying nature all around the house. Definitely would love to return here one day

The schoolhouse was in a lovely location and extremely clean. Being around 10 minutes from town was a bonus! It is very pet friendly, with unique touches that made our pup feel right at home! Every aspect of the home feels inviting and comfortable.

Enjoyed the schoolhouse and all of its amenities. Callie is very detail oriented, which we enjoyed!! The house was very clean considering you can have your dogs. So many dog friendly homes are filthy. You can tell Callie takes pride in this home and loves it!!! So close to wineries and downtown area. We will definitely be back!!!

We could not have loved our stay more at this little, adorable, magical converted school house. The home was absolutely lovely and immaculate. We loved the darling swing on the screened-in porch and the entire home was appointed lovely. We loved it so much, we already can't wait to go back. A definite 10/10!!! Thank you for making our weekend so wonderful!

Great private property, space and location! Accurate description and reviews. Very comfortable, clean with some antique decor. Enjoyed out stay and hope to return soon.

This place is easily one of the best vacation homes I've ever stayed in. It is absolutely adorable and you can tell the minute you walk in that the owners love it. The kitchen is so well stocked. It was spotless. Communication was great. It's private and has a serene peaceful feeling. We spent a lot of time on the back porch watching the hummingbirds and deer. It's close to several vineyards, Cleveland, and downtown Dahlonega. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I need a getaway weekend.
