The layout and amenities of the schoolhouse are unique and wonderful. It is a fun place to get together as a whole family, and we loved feeling like there was plenty of space when we were doing group activities or just relaxing. It feels charmingly old-fashioned, but doesn’t lack any modern comforts. There is plenty to do within a half hour drive (we enjoyed Alder Lake, Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, and Mt Rainier National Park), and trips to and from the airport are not too long. Some thoughts on the amenities:
- The classroom bedrooms are huge! Beds are comfortable and shelves and outlets are plentiful. Provided space heaters kept us cozy.
- The commercial kitchen is great when cooking for a crowd. There are plenty of kitchen tools, utensils, bowls and plates, and more. The range is old-fashioned but works perfectly.
- The gym is amazing. The adults in our crew had a great time playing knockout and family dodgeball after the kids were asleep, and the toddlers loved running around. It really makes the whole place stand out.
- The main eating/gathering area is spacious and well equipped. The many board games are great, the stage was fun for activities we had planned, and the TV was modern enough to hook up to our devices. We moved couches from the bedrooms, and it was a perfect gathering place.
- The covered area between the gym and the main schoolhouse facilitated staging activities and loading cars very well.
We loved this location and can't recommend it enough!
