About this property
Historic Property close to South Beach and downtown - Upper Unit
The Indiana School will be your home-base for family fun. The schoolhouse is 2 blocks from Kids Corner park, 3 blocks from the blue stairs access to South Beach, and 7 blocks from downtown restaurants and shopping. The upper unit has 3 themed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and sleeps 8 comfortably. The massive great room provides plenty of space for families to spread out and play foosball. The Media Center has space for watching TV and playing games. The large front yard gives your family more time to play in the sun. A propane grill and fire pit with seating is available for your use. There is plenty of parking on the property.
For large families, this unit can be combined with the lower unit for an additional 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, TV room, and another huge great room with pool table. Rent the whole house for a week your family will never forget. See VRBO #858557.
Built in 1898, the Indiana School served as an elementary school until 2005. The schoolhouse underwent extensive remodeling in 2006. Many of the original finishes have been preserved including chalk boards, transom doors, wood paneling, and teacher's closets. Updates, painting, and all new furnishings were done in 2016. New windows, brick restoration, exterior painting, and heating/cooling improvements were made in 2023-24. The Indiana School has been designated as a historical site by the State of Michigan. The schoolhouse is truly a unique home.
Our summer weekly rentals run FRIDAY to FRIDAY. Check-in time is 4:00pm. Check-out time is 10:00am.
PLEASE NOTE there are 3 flights of stairs to access the living space for this unit.
