About this property

Schoolhouse: Dog-friendly, Large Yard, near Purina, Wheelchair friendly

Originally built in 1884, the Pikes Peak Schoolhouse has been thoroughly modernized for your comfort while keeping design elements from its century plus history.

The name of the schoolhouse is after Pike's Peak in Colorado because the schoolhouse was built on the highest point of Section 11 of the Northeast part of the Union Township when the area was platted. But more importantly, the vantage point gives a panoramic view of the countryside.

THE SPACE

Located 2-1/2 miles from Washington city limits to the north and 2-1/2 miles to Union city limits to the south, Pikes Peak Schoolhouse is in Missouri countryside and less than an hour from St. Louis and only 20 minutes to Purina Event Center.

The Schoolhouse is a one level little house with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom (handicapped friendly). It sleeps a total of 4 people and is dog friendly.

The open great room has extra tall ceilings, large windows, and a comfortable sofa.

The full kitchen has everything you need except the food to make your own meals, including place settings, pots and pans, wine glasses, and both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker.

Made from reclaimed wood of the old schoolhouse, the king size bed is made with crisp white linens and has a view out the front overlooking the countryside.

And the bathroom, well, guests have commented that it is the best shower ever. Extra large in size and has a handheld shower head, bench, and ability to roll right in for extra accessibility.

OUTDOOR SPACE

The covered front porch is a country delight especially for the sunrises. The side yard is a large grassy area bordered by tall shade trees for your doggies to play.

LAUNDRY

Full washer and dryer available for your use, located in the bathroom.

Beautiful & Comfortable

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.
