We enjoyed the home. It was comfortable, the bed was amazing, the house was just as described and more. We even found it had heated floors in the bathroom! It was perfect for our mini-Golden Doodle, lots of room for her to run. The owners made sure we had all the information we needed to make our stay comfortable. We ate at the local restaurants and shopped at the local shops. We really enjoyed the weekend!

A perfect weekend getaway spot!
The most adorable home; loved the history of the home too! A great location, close to Washington, but also very private surrounded by trees and beautiful landscape. The house had everything we needed, very comfortable, cozy and spotless. Great communication with the owners. Would highly recommend!

A historic getaway where peace is found in the middle of wine country!
We loved the quiet serenity of this preserved piece of Franklin County History. The renovations of Pikes Peak Schoolhouse were refreshing and well thought out. Clean would be an understatement. It was pristinely clean and comfortable. Peacefuland munutes away from Washington's fantastic downtown shops, pubs, coffee shops, and resturants. Then there's wine country! Great first retirement getaway.
