This classic schoolhouse was built in 1934.  It still has that vintage charm, and we have filled the apartments with turn of the century inspired furniture and decor, yet adding modern conveniences.  Many of the items date back to its use as a elementary school.  Our goal is to make it as warm, welcoming, and comfortable as possible.  We have a pool, full gymnasium with sports equipment, workout area with a Peloton (bring your own cycling shoes), free weights, and ping pong.  There is a fire pit, big lawn, and fort area for the kids to play on.

  • Downstairs bathroom is not in the apartment but it IS private
  • Bats, if you are scared of bats (they won't get into contact with you)

Mark grew up in this area, and when we found this vintage school for sale, we had to buy it. It lured us with its solidly built romantic charms. Now we hope to share it with other people who will appreciate its well built and warm nature.

Massillon, Ohio

Our school was built in 1931, and we aim to keep its vintage feel by filling it with antique furniture and accessories. A lot of the interior decorations came with the school! Enjoy our old books and maps, and be kind to the old building. She has cracks and a patina due to her age. Feel free to draw on our chalkboards, play games and ping pong in the gym, and swim in the pool! Spend some time running around the fort and outside area!

IMPORTANT! The downstairs apartment has a private bathroom but you must exit the apartment and go to your left. The bathroom was originally the school bathroom with stalls. There is a shower and toilet there, along with the laundry facilities. You will be the only people using this bathroom. The bathroom door can be locked.
