If you’re looking for a family vacation rental, this is the place. There are plenty things to do on the property, including fishing, outdoor games, barbecue, out door fire pit, picnics or just going on a nature walk. We took full advantage of everything the property has to offer. Looking forward to booking our next vacation day.
Friends and I stayed here last year, it was awesome! And just as great this year! Location is secluded, yet close to town. Spent the mornings on the deck overlooking the lake, the birdwatching was amazing, our bird app, Merlin, identified over 31 different birds. The whistling ducks were seen many times. The house has everything you could need! Highly recommend!
We spent the weekend at the red schoolhouse cabin while attending the Canton First Monday swap meet. The cabin and grounds were a nice respite to the hustle and bustle of the swap meet. We walked the grounds, built a fire under the starlit skies and slept soundly in the quiet solitude of the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This cabin was so nice, peaceful and stocked with everything you will need...my son loved the jon boat and fishing off the pier right outside our door..he caught a few good size catfish and bass..Thank you Russ for a relaxing weekend..we will be back.
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time and appreciate that we were able to bring our dogs with us. It was so much fun seeing their reactions to the woods and ponds while hiking around with them. Fishing right off the deck to the cabin was great for my wife with her limited mobility and we could have caught as many as we wanted. It is a beautiful property which I have visited before and will visit again in the future
Country setting just outside of town. Girls weekend to attend Trade Days and it was exactly what we wanted! Morning coffee on the deck overlooking the small lake, games inside during a storm, it was great! Rebooked for next year!
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this charming cabin over Spring Break with 3 boys under the age of 10! The comfort and amenities exceeded our expectations, making it the perfect getaway. One of the highlights of our trip was the incredible fishing experience right off the cabin deck. The proximity to the water allowed us to cast our lines just steps from the front door, and we were thrilled to catch some nice-sized largemouth bass without having to venture far. The peaceful and picturesque setting added to the overall enjoyment, creating unforgettable memories. Thank you for providing such a wonderful escape—we can't wait to return!
The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. Everything was ready for us when we arrived, including fishing poles. Once we got there all was fine. However The sign was so small we didn’t see it and there were branches overhanging the small driveway. We ended up at the next campsite and they told us how to get to ours.

Canton Trip
Visited Canton Market Days - Property manager was great. Cleaning crew could of did a little better, old coffee grinds in coffee maker and dirty wash clothes in shower, and hair in the bath tub upstairs. If staying and needing more than 1 bedroom the upstairs has no stair up from the inside, only outside. But was great for what we needed - just a place to stay after shopping all day long.
Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse
Really enjoyed our 2-night stay at The Schoolhouse. The cabin was very well equipped for a rental. We usually come well prepared, but I will say that there was everything you need already there which we really appreciated. We used the outdoor fire ring multiple times, we used the Weber charcoal grill, and the outdoor seating. The AC worked fine and the beds were more comfortable than your typical rental cabin. We also fished (bank and row boat) and we walked around the grounds. The fishing was tough - mostly some really small 8-10IN bass from all 3 ponds. If you stay in the schoolhouse, you'll have neighbors staying across the pond, but as long as your neighbors are well mannered and observe quiet hours, then you'll experience plenty of peace and quiet. I don't hesitate to recommend and I would stay again.
I can’t pick just one thing we were amazed by it all!!!

The stay here was picture perfect, I loved the look of the school house and the antique looking stove and the school chair in the front of house with the bell at top of the house. The place was clean and serene. A quiet commune with nature. We saw fish but did not fish, we walked the property many places to explore really enjoyed the peace and quiet and mornings looking out over water with a light fog. A very nice place to get away from it all.
