Historic Schoolhouse in Linden w/ Pool & Hot Tub -- Close to wineries & more!

Take a step back in time in our 1898 one-room schoolhouse; converted in the mid 1900's as a private residence, and fully renovated in 2023. We preserved the spirit and character of the school, keeping the original bead-board walls, vaulting the ceiling back to the previous pitch, returning the position of the doors and windows to their original position and style, all while providing guests with brand new appliances, HVAC, furniture and other amenities that make this a spectacular getaway!

The space

Cherry Hill has 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, comfortable living & dining spaces and a modern kitchen. While the house is historic, the renovation was carried out meticulously to make guests feel comfortable and relaxed. This is the perfect jumping off point to visit wineries, simply unwind on the back porch with a view of our spacious property and forest behind, or go for high adventure on the Appalachian Trail and Shenandoah River.

The original footprint of the building was a single room schoolhouse, but since renovation, we have reconfigured the building to have private sleeping spaces and a bathroom.

Other things to note
Located at the top of a mountain in Linden, VA, up the road from the Appalachian trail, one of the best wineries in the state and famous restaurant "The Apple House", and only 10-15 min to Shenandoah National Park, Shenandoah River activities, Front Royal, caverns and more, you can find tranquility, rest, relaxation - plus activities galore - while enjoying the rare opportunity to sleep in a one-room schoolhouse! There are even some pigs, chickens and cows that live right down the road that you can greet during your relaxing stay.

Please note that this property is rural; to access the schoolhouse, you will need to travel 1-4 miles (depending which direction you approach from) on dirt and gravel road. You will not have a problem accessing the property in any type of car in good weather (sans big snow storm), but we want guests to be fully aware of the rural nature of the property. This will add to the getaway charm with ample privacy and quiet -- and you can be wow'd by the many kiddos who had to walk those miles in all weather to get to school back in the 1800's! The property is well maintained, however, this is the countryside and there are insects and other critters. Use caution and discretion.

Children MUST be accompanied at all times and are not allowed on the pool deck or in the pool without an adult within arms reach.
