There is Wifi at the school house and the password for the network is posted on a chalk board near the T.V and on the refrigerator. Cell service and data is spotty in the mountains so please plan accordingly with your directions, GPS and navigation as the app may not be available when you arrive. There is however Wi-Fi once you're inside the school house but this cozy getaway is the best UNPLUGGED in our opinion. Please do NOT mess or unplug wires, hdmi cables or make any alterations to the audio visual setup. Leave all AV wires and devices as found. The outside party lights should come on automatically once it gets dark. There is a bin beside the back deck that has cots and camping chairs if you would like to use it to enjoy the camp fire and or to sleep under the stars.

We try hard to keep the school house fully stocked with all the items listed in the description but occasionally guests will utilize, remove or damage personal property and ample time may not be available to replace prior to the next guest. The next guest will not hold the host accountable if this happens. If you notice that something is running low or that you will be the last to use something please let us know so we can stock up before the next guest arrives. We love children but our rule is no children under the age of 13 due to the school house not being suitable for smaller children.
