About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Easy access, roomy, close to so much but in a private country setting.

This home is currently being remodeled. The bedrooms, full bath, and laundry room are completed, but living room and kitchen are still under construction. Completely functional, but we are still in the process of designing and finishing some areas.

Formerly a one room schoolhouse built in 1876, this building was bought by a local family in 1955 and converted to a two story residence. Perfectly situated on a beautiful acre, this home offers a private outdoor seating area and deck, fire pit and unique "Pub Shed". Conveniently located near several major highways including the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Routes 70, 66, and 119. Just 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, it's a quick drive into the city, or to the Laurel Highlands historic districts of Ligonier and Latrobe, and the popular ski resorts of Seven Springs and Hidden Valley.

If you have an event in Pittsburgh, a quick hop onto the turnpike and you're in the city in 40 minutes! New Stanton is major intersection joining Rte 119 South toward Morgantown, WV; Rte 70 West toward Wheeling WV, Rte 70 East toward Somerset, Bedford and Harrisburg, and Rte 66 North toward Delmont.

***The outside fire pit and pub shed are available when the host is present and the weather is cooperative. This means that at the host's discretion there may be a fire and the pub shed may be open for lounging and karaoke. Otherwise feel free to use the seating area to relax.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Stanton School. Carole and Chet are excellent hosts and provide everything you could need. We certainly enjoyed having our morning coffee on the porch or sitting at the pub shed. The location was perfect for everything we needed to do. Looking forward to returning on our next visit to PA.

School House Rocks
What a wonderful place to stay. What wonderful hosts. We're seniors newly in love looking for a romantic getaway. The location was perfect for day trips. Perfect for romance. So many little amenities that you would not expect. Dancing by the fire pit in the late twilight was one of the romantic moments of our lives. As it could be anyone's life whether it be their dawn, mid-day, or in their twilights like us. We're already booked for October. Thank you Chet & Carol J&B

Th OSS worked out great for 4 adults. The room with 3 twin beds is very large so was perfect for 2 adults. Every amenity we could have wanted was available - bottled water, coffee, tea and towels. The house was very clean and the internet was great. We loved the table in the living room for putting a puzzle together. We will stay again when in the area.

Excellent place to stay!
Our family of four stayed for several nights this winter. It was our second stay, our first time was during the summer. Both visits were very comfortable. Our two older teens easily shared one bedroom, there are several twin beds, plus a futon. Plenty of clean towels in the bathrooms and kitchen, plus small toiletries in the bath with the shower (very thoughtful). The person cleaning the property cares for it like her own (impressively clean and neat). A nice assortment of snacks offered, lots of coffee and tea pods, plus detergent in the laundry room. Furnished rooms on both levels, and very easy driveway parking immediately outside the front door (straight in, no steps). A small private porch at the entry with table and chairs, facing a lovely expanse of grass and trees. Local region guide magazines provided. Convenient access to local roads and several highways, nearby local restaurants and gas stations (Cracker Barrel, Sheetz, etc.) - yet it’s a very peaceful location. Separate lower firepit area with small "pub shed" is neat! Guests may get a chance to peek inside. A fun social space, nicely designed. Your stay here will be comfortable, safe and quiet with everything you could need. Chet and Carole are super hosts! They interact as little - or as much - as you want. Highly recommend!!

Great experience
We really enjoyed our stay. I was impressed that it was warm when we entered the house despite being a fairly large older building. The laundry room is huge. Very nice having a half bath on the first floor in addition to full bath upstairs. Chet and Carole also provided a basket of snacks and coffee/tea selection for the Keurig. The stairs to the bedroom are a little steep and there's no rail on one side which could be a challenge for small children or seniors. It was also nice having good sized TVs in both bedrooms as well as the living room. Having an extra room in addition to the bedrooms upstairs was great too! Chet was very friendly and helpful when we communicated with him as well. The dishwasher hooks up to the kitchen sink (isn't plumbed in), but thankfully Chet said he'd take care of it after we checked out. Overall a great experience!

MOVIE SET
Absolutely Adorable Old School House that belongs in a movie set for a College Girls Reunion. The place is so charming in a quiet setting yet close to interstate highways for easy access. The home is roomy, with carefully thought out arrangement of the rooms and furnishing. Chet's housekeeper does an excellent job, coming from a former chambermaid point of view. It is very clean. We felt very safe. The Air Conditioner and Heating were both needed on our visit and worked wonderfully. The Kitchen and Bathrooms were well stocked with anything you might need or may have forgotten. There is a large full size laundry room in case you would need. The dressing room on the 2nd floor between bedrooms was perfect and even included an ironing board and makeup vanity. Four ladies stayed with plenty of room to have our own space. The beds and pillows are awesome and provided a restful nights sleep. Ample amount of towels and linens. It was a little chilly for the outdoor pub but it is an amazing outdoor space. Chet kept us well-informed of checkin and checkout procedures. He made us feel like we were staying at an old friend's home...very welcoming host. Chet "leaves the light on." ✨️ A Golden VRBO ✨️

Great place with a Great host!
I can't say enough good things about our stay, the host, the location and the property. The place was exceptionally clean (built in 1879) and super easy to find off the main roads. Quick and convenient to New Stanton and Youngwood if you need food, groceries or personal items of any nature. My wife and I came for a long weekend to attend a wedding, which was fun too :). The location is near to many attractions in the Laurel Highlands area of PA, we enjoyed a Frank Lloyd Wright site, a MUST do if you're in the area. If you're there during the weekend you can also enjoy a nice warming fire in the "fire pit area" and even a cold beverage from the "Pub Shed" as it's called, great time! Our host was exceptional, his knowledge of the area and the property going way back was very interesting to learn about. If you needed anything they were always there, we only needed a forgotten nail clipper one day, but they helped us acquire one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is travelling through the area for a few days or interested in visiting some of the many sites in this area of Pennsylvania, it is close to many beautiful places. Last but not least, there is a very nice winery less than a 5 minutes' drive from the Schoolhouse. Good wine and music at certain times.

Comfortable, Clean, Welcoming Property
This is a truly unique place located near all the main roads in SW Pennsylvania. To begin with, the building started life as a two-story high, brick & mortar one-room schoolhouse in 1876. (The older I get, the more I appreciate the accomplishments of people from generations ago!) Later converted to two floors inside, the current owner and host has done a great job of making the interior beautiful while maintaining the schoolhouse appearance on the exterior. As for the interior, it's comfortable, very clean, and has everything one needs. I've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and I have not seen one as well stocked as this one. Great place to stay!

college friends get away
We were looking for a gathering place for 4 college women to get together to relax and unwind as well as catch up on each other's lives without spending a fortune. This 2 bed room converted school house has good character. It is still in the process of being remodeled, but fully functional. We spent most of our time sitting around the kitchen table sharing meals and having wine or in the back yard table having coffee and the enjoying the sunshine. To our surprise, Chet convinced us to try Karaoke Friday night and we all started singing and dancing in his pub area. Good times for sure. We visited a local winery, 2 parks for hiking and went out to a local church. This was a nice, quiet place to gather. Chet went above and beyond to bring an extra twin bed into one of the bedrooms so we each had our own sleeping space. This was very much appreciated. I am not sure if we would be back in the New Stanton area, but if we did, we would visit again.
