We really enjoyed our stay in the historic schoolhouse. The property was very clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The surrounding area was so pretty, and we’d love to come back to visit some of the nearby wineries. It was about a 35 minute drive to Charlottesville where we were visiting our son for UVA family weekend. Next time, we’ll make sure we have more time to spend in the property and nearby.
Very clean and comfortable. The amenities were very nice. The only issue was the shower head in the Master bedroom, stand up shower...it shot a hard steady stream out of the center nozzle hole. couldn't use it. :( I would highly recommend to my friends. :) Mr. K. Johnson, Suffolk, Va.
Property had everything as listed, but the best surprise was how peaceful and quiet the area is.

Why they chose this property
The building was erected in the 1920's to serve as school building for the children in the mountain region of Greene County. I was born and raised within a few miles of Dyke, VA and many of the middle aged folks that I knew in the area had gone to school here. The building was privatized in the mid 1980's and used as an archery shop before being converted to two residential units in the early 2000's. The buildings owner lost the property to the bank following the economic downturn of 2009. We were then fortunate enough to acquire the property and renovate and update the property specifically for vacation enjoyment. While the building is fully converted for residential, the original huge windows still line the outside walls allowing in ample light. Originally the enter upstairs was comprised of four large classrooms while the wide hallway down the middle is now used for bathrooms and a kitchen. The maple flooring is original and a line can be seen where boards were filled in to cover the place of the original dividing wall between classrooms.
What makes this property unique
The 13 ft ceilings were originally designed to allow for cooler temperatures and more airflow in the summer in a period before air conditioners. Today this lends the place a grandiose air. The large deck affords sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains not far to the west.
