    A perfectly peaceful retreat

    A charming old school house, beautifully restored and nestled in a peaceful valley. It is quiet, remote and surrounded by nature. The river nearby is a wonderful place to swim in and canoe down.

    Everything was perfect!

    We received a very warm welcome. The old schoolhouse is secluded in the mountains. Bronwyn and Colin have lovingly renovated and furnished it. We slept with the window open and enjoyed the peace and seclusion. There are several marked hiking trails, the river for swimming and boats for paddling. Our children loved the chickens, which they were allowed to feed. They are very tame and let themselves be stroked. Thank you all! We had a great time!
