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.

Old school house stay

We look for unique places to stay and this was unique staying in a near 150 year old school house. The building is a 2 story and bedrooms are upstairs. There is a 1/2 bath down and full bath up. Chet the owner met us at the car upon arrival and explained things. He is friendly and helpful. The exterior and interior are both in good condition. The LR ceiling has not been drywalled like the remainder of the unit but there is a sign stating that renovations are in progress. I gave a 5 star review because where else can you stay in a 150 year old former school and because the unit was clean and well stocked with everything (except body wash or soap in the shower}. There are a few things to mention. The neighborhood where the dwelling resides is just OK but we did feel safe. It also is very close to the owners house and basically separated by the owner's patio. I think that the experience would have been more authentic if there had been some old school furniture and more photos on the wall representative of the period. There is an organ in the LR which felt out of place. It was a good experience for us though and I would recommend. Thanks Chet.

Safe, Clean, Relaxing

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and welcomed. The rental was clean and thoughtfully prepared, with special touches from the hosts that made it feel like home. We arrived after dark, and it was such a kind gesture to find the porch light on and soft lighting inside—it made settling in so easy. What mattered most to us was feeling safe, and this property absolutely delivered. It was also the perfect balance: close enough for a quick and easy trip into Pittsburgh, but far enough to enjoy a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend this lovely rental to anyone looking for comfort, safety, and a touch of nature. It's a VRBO I wish I could have everywhere I go!

Always excellent

Our family has stayed at this property - the Old Stanton School House, a number of times in various seasons. It's a wonderful place with excellent, caring hosts. There are lots of rooms, it's nicely furnished and it's always super clean. It's really easy to unload your things, right from your car straight through the front door. It's very comfortable here; just like home.

One of my favorite VRBOs

Of all the VRBOs my wife and I have rented, this is one of our favorite. We felt right at home from the moment we entered the door. The fact that it was decorated for Christmas and that Christmas music was playing was VERY much appreciated. And we made good use of the mistletoe!The interior was spacious, well furnished, and well equipped. The house and neighborhood were quiet. Had it been a bit warmer, we would have enjoyed sitting outside.The location was great for our purposes, and the home was easy to get to from my sister-in-law's home in Greensburg.Chet was a great host.We'll be back if we get the opportunity.

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 ✨️
