Quaint Apartment - 10 Min from Turkey Run and Shades, Pet Friendly

Located only a couple minutes from Lake Waveland and two great state parks, Shades and Turkey Run. Turkey Run golf course is only a couple miles away. Restaurants located close. Close to covered bridges making it great for festival season.

Quick trip to Shades State Park
I visit the area about once a year. I often camp, and on shorter trips I’ve stayed at a hotel in Crawfordsville until this year. The Schoolhouse property was perfect for my need. Right off 47 in Waveland, very convenient for getting to Shades or Turkey Run State Parks. Quite a unique property, it was super comfortable and clean. I am already planning next year’s stay here. It was perfect for my needs.

All we needed
Nothing fancy here, but the property had everything we needed (except a hair dryer, which we happened to bring along so it wasn't a problem) for a short stay, plus it was fund to stay in what used to be a school. Ingenious redevelopment of this property to put a solid structure to good use. Best of luck with success with the property!

Hidden gem!
We stumbled on this VRBO property while looking for somewhere to stay close to Turkey Run State Park. It exceeded our expectations in so many ways! Very clean, and the kids were tickled by the extra access to the gym and game area. It was a very easy drive to both Shades and Turkey Run, and the one morning it rained there were DVDs provided that kept us all content to hang out inside watching a movie and playing. Overall it was a unique and cool VRBO that we'll be saving for a repeat trip in the future!

Such a cool idea for a VRBO!
The school office was the perfect size for the 2 of us. We could not get over the uniqueness and the great idea. Everything was very, very clean. Towels and sheets were bright white and the faint smell of bleach is refreshing. There wasn't much to do or see around the immediate town, but the 2 state parks within 15 minutes were both fantastic. The hosts were great, they left an adorable welcome gift bag and were very quick to communicate.

Unique place to stay
We decided at last minute to stay here instead of camping at Turkey Run due to weather uncertainties. It was a fun, memorable place to stay. Perfect for my husband and I plus our dog. Bed was comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. Unique way to convert the administration offices of an elementary school into an apartment. Close to both Shades and Turkey Run!

Perfect weekend getaway for the family
Staying at the Schoolhouse was a wonderfully unique experience, a fully furnished apartment inside the office of an old elementary school. Charles, property owner, was great with communications and hospitality. Super family friendly and pet friendly with seemingly endless amenities, great location near two state parks, Waveland Lake and canoeing/kayaking on Sugar creek. Walking distance to community park, public library, quaint downtown restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Unique Property
This is a unique property that allows you to use some of the ancillary features at the facility. We really enjoyed playing pool and shuffleboard. The site is located in the middle of covered bridge country and near Shades and Turkey Run and was a great base for us.

Turkey Run
The property was as expected. Very clean. Very easy to find. Close enough to Turkey Run, and other small towns. Ideal location for antiquing. Plenty of space for my dogs and their kennels. Even a large enough yard for them to run. The only negative, for us, was that we both like to cook at home, and we were limited with cookware. Though, side note, the host left us this cute "grab bag".

Awesome games
Our family of four had a great Mother's Day weekend stay here. Sat we did hikes at Turkey Run and Sun hike at Shades. Since there were no other events scheduled at the venue, in the evenings we had a blast playing all the games: basketball, pool, pingpong, shuffleboard, and Foosball. We were comfortable in the condo but being able to use the bigger table for eating in the common area was a big plus since we ate breakfast and dinner there. This is definitely a fun place to stay and I will recommend it to family and friends.

Excellent place to stay to visit Turkey Run and Shades State Parks.
We had a great time. The rental was clean and just plain interesting to check out. It is an old elementary school. We enjoyed learning the backstory. We had an issue with hot water but Charles came out and fixed it. He was very nice and talked with us a bit about the state parks. One suggestion is to turn up the heat on the water tank a bit so more than one person can get a hot shower. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the rental to others!

Interesting site close to hiking
What a great use of an old school. The apartment was converted from the offices of an old elementary school. My daughter got a kick out of staying in the principal's office. We booked this for a weekend hiking trip at Turkey Run. The location is close to Turkey Run and Shades. It was quiet and private. It was super clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast before we went out hiking. We also liked being close enough to come back for a mid-day break. Communication with Charles was easy. Apartment was dog friendly as well. We didn't get to hike in Shades because of the weather, so we'll definitely be back.

We stayed here two nights for the Covered Bridge festival and loved it! Check in was easy and Charles was quick to respond with any questions. The apartment was very clean and I feel the amenities went above and beyond, there was coffee, creamer, sugar, water and soda! Other places I have stayed have bare minimum. It was a quick 15-20 minute drive to Rockville for the festival and there is a good cafe right there in town for breakfast. We had the whole school to ourselves and there was a cool game room area. I would definitely stay here again, if I had any suggestions it would be to have outside lighting. At night, it was a dark neighborhood and there was no outside lights so it was hard to see when trying to unlock the outside doors.

This is a very unique place to stay, it's the only apt. in a wonderfully refurbished Elementary School, Waveland Elementary. The school has an interesting past and it now houses not just the apt. but several venues as well. The caretaker, Charles, was a great young man easy to communicate with and answered our requests/questions in a timely manner. My only complaint would be that after a day of visiting Turkey Run S.P. the only place to rest was a small love seat set in front of the TV. There wasn't a coffee table or end table to use. The kitchen was very spacious with a two seat table, coffee, sweetener and creamer were provided along with bottled water. Bedrooms were also spacious and beds very comfortable every thing very clean. Our 2 cats were able to stay with us too. I would recommend this apt. to a couple or a family with perhaps two children. Thanks for a happy stay.

Interesting Place to Stay
Check in was quite easy, although I had to send a message the evening before arrival because I hadn't received any instructions. This is the first time this has ever happened to me boooking through VRBO. Generally instructions are sent a couple days prior to arrival, or at least a message stating when they will be sent. Charles was quick to respond to my message with instructions. The whole place is interesting. The apartment was clean and well stocked, beds were reasonably comfy, wifi worked great. We were able to explore the facilities since nothing else was in use. The old gymnasium is really neat. Game tables were great. We were conveniently located between Shades Srate Park and Turkey Run, which was our reason for the visit. Crawfordsville was about 20 minutes away, which is where pwe ended up dining. The building is not in the nicest of neighborhoods. The community surrounding the property looks to have been hit by some hard times. Many parcels had been infested by weed and tree growth, seemingly abandoned. Although no fault of the owners, this distracted us from our stay. Would I stay again, probably. Is it a neat property, definitely. Was it worth the price, yes.

An entire elementary school to yourself!!
This property is a real gem and I commend the owners for recognizing the potential and for saving a piece of the community’s history! The quirky-ness makes this a really fun getaway and makes you feel like a kid again! Me and my sister (both 50+) took advantage of the facility each evening of our stay. We played HORSE on the basketball court, played ping pong and air hockey and watched several of the movies provided. It was also just cool to explore the school although a little spooky at times but even that made it very memorable. This is a great location. Close to Turkey Run, which is a beautiful park and in a good location to explore the local covered bridges and the awesome assortment of antique stores. We stayed 3 nights and had plenty to do and see on our visit and could have used a few more days because we ran out of time to see Shades park. The apartment was clean and comfortable and was all that we needed for a great home base. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Thanks to the owners for a unique and memorable experience!
