About this property

School house cottage

Make some memories at our unique and family-friendly place. Minutes from IU/Bloomington we are situated in the rolling hills around Lake Monroe.
The space
Our home was once a one room schoolhouse. We have complemented the beautiful historic features, such as hardwood floors, with modern comforts.

It sits on 1 acre providing plenty of space for cornhole and relaxing. Our covered front porch offers peaceful views of walkers and bicycles. Our back deck has a gas fire pit great for unwinding with your favorite drink.

Two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and living room allow you to feel completely at home.

Cute, cozy cottage

We were here for parents weekend and this cottage was perfect! Close enough to everything, yet tucked in the woods. Very quiet, private area. The cottage itself was very clean and cozy. It has anything you could need, including some snacks and drinks, which was a nice unexpected bonus. We would definitely stay here again when coming back to visit.

Perfect location!

We chose the location to be central between Lake Monroe and Bloomington. We were visiting to enjoy the lake and also be able to visit town for dinner. The last 4 or 5 miles of the drive on Google Maps took us down a one lane gravel road and across a narrow metal bridge but after we checked in found it was much easier to take the "highway" back into Nashville..plan your route ahead if you plan on visiting with a boat or camper/trailer. The house was perfect and exactly as described with 2 bedrooms with queen beds and a central bathroom along with everything else you'd find at a hotel but in a much more relaxing setting. The neighbors that were out walking were all very friendly and the evening visits from the wildlife were great as well. Overall, A+!

Fascinating Historical and Very Comfy Cottage in the Forest

My daughter and I were celebrating our 85th and 60th birthdays and absolutely fell in love with this little cottage on a lovely property. Once a schoolhouse, it has been remodeled into a lovely 2 bedroom cottage - Pickett Fence and all. An apple tree just outside the kitchen window drew squirrels and a mama deer with her 2 fawns....The place is very clean and well stocked...and so close to Bloomington and Nashville. Highly recomomend.

Awesome rental!

The property was just as listed and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for a weekend stay. Having coffee out on the back deck was amazing. My only comment would be that the furniture in the front room was not very comfortable for watching movies or tv but for the short amount of time that we were at the house, it was fine. Would definitely return though because of the proximity to Brown county and Bloomington. The owner was great to work with!

Quaint Cottage

We booked this for the 4/8/24 eclipse. It was the perfect spot for viewing. The owner left snacks & drinks that were all themed for the eclipse. They even left two pairs of eclipse glasses. Very thoughtful touch! The street has traffic but isn't terribly busy. The neighborhood made it feel quite separate from the busy college city while still being just a few minutes away from stores/restaurants. We even saw some wild turkeys and foxes. I would absolutely book this cottage again if I ended up back in Bloomington for any reason.

Like Stepping Back in Time With a Modern Twist

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was so cool to know we were staying in an old schoolhouse. This is my 25th year of teaching so that added to the experience. I would highly recommend this place!

Cute & Cozy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the School House Cottage! The old schoolhouse-turned-home is simple, yet has everything you need. It's situated perfectly between IU and Brown State Park, making our visits to both, seamless. We were also there at a great time, when the home was surrounded by all the beautiful fall foliage. The fire pit out on the deck makes for perfect evenings winding down, as well as the included refreshments we were surprised with. I prefer stays with character, and this cozy cottage came with plenty, which you can even read about in the historical text in the home. I would love to stay here again!

Just What I Needed

After a long week at a business conference in Memphis, I needed a place to go and unwind. This was the ticket. Quiet and restful, it was the perfect place to unwind. About 10-15 minutes from some great dining establishments in Bloomington. Highly recommend if you want a quick weekend getaway.

Great location!

The cottage is in a perfect spot! Close to downtown Bloomington and Nashville, IN. Bike trail right in front of the cottage. Nicely shaded by the surrounding trees. Adorable place! Clean and it was perfect for our weekend getaway!
