The Old Bethlehem School is a one-room schoolhouse, in which classes were actually held until the mid-fifties. It features three bedrooms, one bath, a large, fully equipped, eat-in kitchen, and living room. The entire schoolhouse is yours as there is no separate bedroom rental.

The schoolhouse has been tastefully redecorated in Americana style with early to mid-1900's antiques. The bedrooms contain one queen size bed, one double bed and a set of twin beds. It could easily accommodate a family of 6 or a party of 4 hunters.

Be on your way as early as you wish, or sleep as late as you like. Breakfast time is up to you, with a pantry and refrigerator stocked with fresh fruits, milk, juice, and pre-packaged foods to be used at your convenience.
