Wonderful!!!
This was more than I expected. There was so much space for our family and the history of the School House a plus. There is a gift shop inside and we bought a few souvenirs. It was a perfect place to stay for our trip to the Buffalo River. I would definitely stay here again.

Great place for a girls weekend
We enjoyed our stay at the Historic Schoolhouse! We really liked that all the beds were together, so we didnt have to split up into different rooms. We floated the Buffalo, and the schoolhouse was very convenient to where we needed to be. Overall, a super cute place to stay!
