Welcome to The School House: one of the most unique homes in the Shenandoah Valley. Built in 1910, this landmark has served as a school, church, dance hall, and hay barn—now beautifully restored into a one-of-a-kind retreat. Spectacular panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains form the backdrop to exceptional indoor and outdoor spaces. Feel secluded yet just 10 min to JMU, 14 min to Massanutten, plus wineries, breweries, and Downtown Harrisonburg. The space The School House at Cross Keys Tucked into 1.9 partially wooded acres beside the historic Cross Keys Farm, The School House is one of the most unique stays in the Shenandoah Valley. Locals have called it “The School House” for generations thanks to its large red rectangular shape, visible from Cross Keys and Pleasant Valley Road as you approach through the countryside. Set at the edge of a 150-acre working You Pick Your Own Farm and Civil War battlefield, the property blends wide-open views, quiet woods, and mountain scenery into one unforgettable setting. Outdoor Living: As you arrive, follow the tree-lined, U-shaped driveway with plenty of parking, including a level area designed for easy access and EV charging using the GRIZZL-E Level 2 charger. Pathways guide you to a covered front porch, a stocked firepit with adirondack chairs, outdoor dining patio, gazebo, 6-person hot tub, charcoal grill. From nearly every outdoor space you’ll enjoy sweeping views of Massanutten and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Early risers are rewarded with glowing sunrises over the ridgeline, and spring showers often bring dramatic rainbows across the valley.
