I absolutely LOVE this cute, quaint little place! Everything was perfect. Check in and check out are a breeze! I'm staying again in a few weeks. Can't wait!!
We enjoyed both the inviting space and the location - within walking distance of shops and restaurants along Waterville's main street.

Wonderful Stay for Hamilton College Parents
My wife and I stayed here for the weekend of Hamilton College's 2024 Commencement and were very impressed. Clean, modern, comfortable and perfectly situated, with access to a smart TV and WIFI (despite the rural location). Food and beverage offerings were highly appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Hometown Visit
We have stayed at this location several times in my former hometown. The property is great for our purposes. Everything is always clean and well prepared for out visit. Dianne does an excellent job.
This is a very cozy place and really great for the area. Fits 2 guests extremely well with all the amenities you could need. We were there for college visits, so perfectly located between Colgate and Hamilton (20 minutes in each direction). I would highly recommend this location!
Loved the property, will stay there on our next trip to the area. Dianne was very responsive and helpful. Property was extremely clean and thoughtfully stocked with everything you possibly needed. Waterville is an idyllic
small town with a great food coop.

Fall Getaway
The Schoolville Suite is both charming and comfortable. Dianne thoughtfully provided breakfast and snack items for us. The Suite was a perfect homebase for our exploration of the beautiful surrounding area. We enjoyed our long weekend, and we hope to return.

Dianne was great. Awesome place
Awesome little place. My wife, 8 month old and I had a family reunion in Waterville and this place was perfect. Super clean great appliances and comfy bed. Dianne went above and beyond with us
This property was excellent. We regret that we were only able to spend two days. Speaking of cleanliness; this property was like brand new clean! If you want a quite rural setting; this is the place for you.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The host communicated with us before hand. The school house is adorable and immaculate. It has everything you’ll need. It feels like staying in someone’s home. The host provided such useful and thoughtful ammenities. It is truly a find.

Always happy to return!
Our third stay at the property while visiting our Hamilton College student. The first evening was warm and beautiful and were sitting on the front steps when a man appeared w a table and chairs and set them up for us. We ate dinner outside and it was a lovely night! We love our visits here - it has everything we need and is so comfortable. Thank you for having us again!
