As soon as I saw the building on Vrbo I knew I had to visit it. Slightly pricey for my purse but since we ate all meals in (my preference) the vacation as a whole was very reasonable. The location is perfect if you enjoy hiking and the home is clean and comfortable. I loved having so much space to relax (and dance) in. Such an enjoyable weekend getaway destination.

This fall our trip brought us to the Berkshires. One of our reasons for choosing this property was the location to Mt. Greylock, which is literally up the road. Also the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail is just a couple miles from this property also. We liked the unique idea of staying at a nearly 200 year old school house. The school room on the main level is rich with local history. The property owner is right next door and is very helpful with any issue. There are plenty of local restaurants including Dunkin if you need your fix.

I thoroughly enjoyed the natural light coming through the windows and the color of the drapery enhanced it even more. The scenery surrounding the stone house was serene and generous with the color of fall. I kept thinking of my grandmother teaching in the same type of setting years ago. I went right for the ruler, tapped it a few times on the desk and dinged the bell a bit more, as my eyes gravitated to the blueberry photograph many times. I wished for more time to linger. Minutes to Mt. Greylock, food, and shopping. Enjoy!

The Stone Schoolhouse was great! The perfect space upstairs. The location felt peaceful and remote while at the same time being close by everything you need. The hosts have done an excellent job of preserving the history of the building. I would recommend it as a place to stay for anyone planning a stay in the Berkshires

We love staying at the school house. The location is ideal for our travels (Pittsfield, Stockbridge, Northampton, Bennington). Everything was neat and tidy and the kitchen area is perfect for cooking small meals. We were warm and comfortable even though it was chilly outside.
