About the host
Hosted by Melinda Johnson
The owner actually attended this school, run by his mom and grandmother! He converted it to a vacation rental himself in 2017.
Why they chose this property
From Charles, then owner: "After an extremely long, daunting renovation I wanted to share my schoolhouse with the world because it is so special to me. There is so much history within these four walls, it's astounding. I kept the historic schoolhouse theme in the decor while renovating it into a comfortable vacation rental! Being so close to Dollywood also makes it a perfect rental. By passing through and staying here you will be adding to the rich history of The Montgomery School. I hope you can make your own unforgettable memories here like so many have before you. "
