The Old Tiverton Four Corners Schoolhouse No. 1 is located within Historic Tiverton Four Corners. Let your imagination wander back to the mid 1800’s as you pass through the proper boys or girls door into this fully remodeled structure. Ring the working vintage twenty-four inch, cast-iron school bell to gather your friends and family for an old-fashioned meal prepared with local produce and cooked in our gourmet kitchen equipped with the latest fixtures for your convenience. Marvel at our collection of period décor and historic schoolhouse memorabilia as you relax in the spacious living room equipped with comfortable seating, a large 46' HDLCD TV, a working wood-burning stone fireplace, and central air conditioning / heating. Wide-plank pine flooring finished with an old fashioned and environmentally friendly Tung oil with citrus helps maintain the historic charm.

Tiverton Four Corners Schoolhouse No. 1 was built in 1800 by the Manchester Family, one of the original founding families of Tiverton. The Town realized the need for public education in the mid 1800’s, which at that time was typically provided for in private homes. In 1854 the Manchesters sold the property to the town for one hundred dollars with the right to buy it back when and if the town disposed of it. The Town of Tiverton used the Schoolhouse until 1925, a period in time when the advent of motorized bus transportation afforded consolidations to regional schools. Schoolhouse No. 1 was closed in 1925 when Nonquit School was opened and subsequently sold at auction in 1928 for one-hundred eighty dollars to Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Rego. The Regos converted it into a single family home where their family lived up until the early 1970's. Much to our surprise, the original bell is alive and well in Maine.

The Schoolhouse has two bedrooms and one bathroom equipped with a Whirlpool tub. The master bedroom has a king size bed fitted with a luxurious ten inch foam mattress covered with Egyptian linens. A wall-mounted 32' LED TV complete with cable access will help insure a relaxing finish to your day. The second bedroom is outfitted twin bunk-beds and a 26' LED TV to accommodate friends or family. WI-FI is provided free of charge for those of you who like to stay in touch while you are on vacation. A high-efficiency laundry system is available if you plan on an extended stay.

When you’re done exploring inside, take a walk around the five-acre grounds where you will find meandering streams, vegetable and herb gardens, path through the woods, plenty of chickens, ducks, four goats (Maggie, Lucy, Bandit, and Snickers). If your timing is right, you can help us gather a couple of eggs for breakfast, harvest some fresh herbs to complement your evening meal or perhaps pick some fresh vegetables for a garden salad. After you are done strolling the grounds, amble a short five minute walk north to visit the heart of Historic Tiverton Four Corners, a quaint three-hundred year old cross-roads village. There you will find unique shops, restaurants, Gray’s Ice Cream shop, an Arts Center, Art Galleries, and many other establishments. If you plan on cooking, be sure to visit one of the nearby roadside stands for some tender, sweet, fresh-picked corn.

If you find the Schoolhouse already booked for the dates you wish to travel or have a larger party in need of more space, please check out our other vacation rental in neighboring Little Compton. It's called Potters Corner and can also be found here on VRBO. Potters Corner is a brand new 3000s.f. Colonial with high end appointments and will be maintained with our same attention to detail.

                    Outstanding! The schoolhouse if absolutely beautiful. The house has many historical artifacts and each item has a placard with a description. It was a great history lesson for the kids. The king size bed was amazing. Anyone who stays at the schoolhouse will thoroughly enjoy the comfort of this bed. The house is also located on the farm property so be sure to visit the chickens, goats, turkeys, ducks and pigs. We travel throughout the country, and outside of the country, and have found this property to be one of the best.

                    This was an absolutely delightful discovery. We were in Tiverton for a long Thanksgiving weekend and needed an overflow to avoid sleeping on floors at our relatives'. Little did we expect such a first class, charming hideaway to stay at. The fresh farm eggs were a treat, and the availability of choice protein sources in the freezer a nice touch. Everything was modern and well layed out. Ringing the old school bell was fun. The owners made everything convenient and information plentiful. We look forward to our next visit and hope this oasis doesn't become "too" popular that we'll have trouble rebooking! We can't think of a single thing that would preclude us from giving you a five star rating, and we've traveled to over 70 countries worldwide. Keep up the good work and all the best!

                    Schoolhouse No 1. was everything and more that one could expect. Well positioned in proximity to visiting the South Coast and Newport area as well as Northeastern Connecticut, e.g., Woodstock (a pleasant town to meander thru.) Accommodations and amenities are first class and the stocked freezer is a great time saver. We visited the local shops and did out part in stimulating the economy. Best gas price was found across fro Lee's Supermarket, $3.47 a gallon at Cumberland Farms, and Lee's itself is worth the 20 minute ride if you need groceries. Would love to return during the summer or fall seasons as we can only imagine how beautiful the surrounding locale must be. All and all, it was a great place to enjoy our 43rd Wedding Anniversary, much better than suited to us than a hotel stay. John and Tina John and Tina

                    I stayed here the night before my wedding and it is such a gem! Inviting and charming, yet modern and chic. I got married at the Meeting House down the street and the owners left a sweet welcoming message on the adorable chalkboard as well as a personalized note with fresh eggs in the fridge and champagne. This place is perfect from location to amenities, and I could not have asked for a better place to spend the night before my wedding! I had all my girls get ready here the morning of and we took family portraits here as well. Thanks so much for a fabulous stay and use of the grounds for some beautiful photos! Sincerely, Sarah

                    I stayed in schoolhouse for 3 nights in June and thoroughly enjoyed using it as a base to explore the Farmcoast area. It could not be in a better location. The living space is huge and the bedrooms roomy with very comfortable beds. The kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area are all very contemporary and user-friendly. The comfort was enhanced by the attention paid to all the nostalgic touches; very charming while heightening the historical significance of the property. The farm fresh eggs were appreciated, as were the frozen meat and fish available in the freezer. I would definitely recommend staying at the Tiverton Four Corners Schoolhouse.
