We really enjoyed our stay! It was clear that the owners put lots of thought into the small details in the renovation of the school to become a house. The house is absolutely beautiful, the hot tub feels very private and the view of the country is idyllic. If we come back to the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Just got home from our weekend here, it couldn’t have an accommodated a family of five any better. So clean, everything we needed and more and within minutes from everything we needed I especially appreciated all the towels for the hot tub, and the fact that they had an air fryer. We will absolutely be back.

Our stay was amazing! The Pleasant View School was a perfect getaway for my wife and I. It is warm and inviting and very clean. Close to Galena and Dubuque. The school house theme was great and interesting history too. A great view of the sunset. A welcoming hand written note from our host was a nice personal touch.

What a beautiful property. Clean, private, and a perfect get-away for my family. My parents loved the house so much we almost had to drag them out! We loved everything about it, but my favorite part was definitely the hottub and the fire pit outside. Would definitely love to come back in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute and cozy remodeled schoolhouse just minutes outside of Galena. The charm of its history combined with modern updates made it such a unique and comfortable place to stay. The home was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It felt peaceful and private while still being a short drive to all the shops, restaurants, and attractions Galena has to offer. You can truly feel the care that went into preserving the character of the old one-room schoolhouse while making it warm and inviting. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special, memorable place to stay near Galena!

The rainy weather on our check in day canceled our outdoor plans so we contacted the host to see about an early check in. They immediately responded that the prior guests checked out early and cleaning was in progress and would be done shortly. We were able to check in 2 hours early! They did an amazing job renovating the place and it has great views! We live in the country and love that it was out of town yet close to everything! Super clean! Super comfortable! Hot tub was great! I'm trying to come up with constructive criticism but I have none! Definitely will be back!

Everything was perfect

I typically rent houses when I travel with my wife or with the entire family. I've rented a lot of houses. This rental impressed me the most with the attention to detail. The decorating was perfect for the location. Everything was high quality -- especially the beds/towels. This house has everything you need or could possibly want while staying there. No need to run to the store at all. I have nothing bad to say about this rental. Thanks.

Wonderful Stay at a Charming Schoolhouse Retreat

We were fortunate to be the very first guests at this adorable property!! The owners did a fantastic job renovating the old schoolhouse, blending historic charm with cozy, modern comforts. The décor creates such a welcoming atmosphere, and the home is stocked with everything you could possibly need to make your stay enjoyable.Thoughtful touches like a welcome letter, festive 4th of July bling, baskets of goodies, and cold waters waiting in the fridge were above and beyond—small extras that made a big difference.The outdoor area is perfect for relaxing: whether you're soaking in the hot tub, playing board games, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it offers a private, country feel. It’s just a short drive to Galena, where we enjoyed great food and shopping.Krista was incredibly responsive and available if we needed anything. My husband and I had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway.
