Amen Schoolhouse

The Schoolhouse can sleep up to 17 persons, with 5 bedrooms, a loft, 4 full baths, 2 dining areas, and a full kitchen—including a microwave, dishwasher, and two ovens.

There is also a living room with a cathedral ceiling, satellite TV, and an electric fireplace. The long dining table in the living area is a perfect place for family/group meals to re-live the day's fun on the ski slopes or the hiking trails.

The Schoolhouse has a ski equipment room, with racks for hanging up your skis and boards. There is also a washer and dryer.

And of particular interest to summer renters, there are two decks (one covered).

By the way, the home really was a schoolhouse—built as such in the 1880's and used for that purpose through the 1960's.

The Schoolhouse's close proximity to the Mt. Deck make the two properties perfect for larger groups, with plenty of sleeping space and amenities for all.
