Book Direct and Save

Save on service fees by booking direct on Houfy.

At The Schoolhouse Cottage you will savor calm, relaxation, and solitude within the walls of a beautifully restored two-room schoolhouse built in 1848. This home is not your typical mountain vacation cabin, it is a piece of history that is thoughtfully attended to by the owner between every guest stay. When you walk through the living room and master bedroom you are walking on floors that school children walked on 170 years ago. The photos hanging throughout the cottage are historic images of Dahlonega and North Georgia from an archived collection that you'd be lucky to see anywhere else. What's more, the modern amenities and attention to detail allow you to appreciate the history that surrounds you while still enjoying the comforts of the 21st century. Only ten minutes from the Dahlonega Square, yet tucked away in its own little forest, the Schoolhouse is a unique private retreat that still keeps you close to everything.



Finally, please read the full description of the cottage, the amenities, and the house rules prior to booking. And if you plan to bring your pup along for your stay you must make a note of him/her as part of your booking party and follow the pet policy in order to be refunded your pet deposit.

The best and most comfortable Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Callie thought of every single amenity and creature comfort possible to make our stay more comfortable and get some much needed rest. The beds are amazingly cozy and I absolutely loved how well stocked the kitchen was as well as the rest of the house. Thank you so much Callie!

We love the schoolhouse cottage! It is our second time to stay there. It is Dahlonega’s “best kept secret”. There is everything you need at this Airbnb. It is a great spot where you feel secluded but is also close to downtown Dahlonega and other areas to explore. It is a great place for dreaming, reading, slowing down, and just being. We will back one day.

The schoolhouse is amazing. It's beautiful and cozy in gorgeous surroundings. We felt right at home and are dogs were more than welcome! Callie even left out a water dish for them! I can't recommend this place enough. Callie answered every question and even let us check in early and check out late when snow compromised the roads! Amazing place and fantastic host! We will be back!

Callie provides great hospitality and is very responsive to any questions. The photos of the Schoolhouse are accurate, but it is even more beautiful in person. All of the furnishings are clean and comfortable, and the linens are great quality. One thing that we immediately noticed was how clean the Schoolhouse is which is important to us. We came to Dahlonega for the Old Fashioned Christmas, and Callie had the cottage decorated both inside and out. It is an easy and convenient drive to downtown. We would definitely stay here again. Callie, thanks so much for everything that you did for us, and for making the Schoolhouse such an amazing place.
