Loved this unusual lodging. A renovated tiny schoolhouse-so cool. Even the chalk board was still there. What an extraordinary feature wall. (Yes chalk is included.) It was a perfect location for our trip. We enjoyed sitting on back porch in evening listening to and watching birds, watching the chickens forage, and sipping coffee. All of the custom wood work and furniture made by the host is beautiful. The host was very responsive to our asks and welcoming.
