Deep in Arkansas' duck country near Bayou Meto, resides a treasured piece of history. The Schoolhouse Lodge will provide you a historically-rich retreat with class! There's still plenty to learn at the Schoolhouse - including how to rest and recharge. Let's study up on this unique lodging:
The Schoolhouse Lodge is much more than a themed getaway. It used to be the only school in the area!
Originally known as the Bayou Meto School, the learning facility was created on donated land by the Lumsden family. Between the 1930s-50s the Schoolhouse was a two-roomed classroom for the country kids around Bayo Meto.
Classes may be over but there's still plenty of reminders of the lodge's past life.
The school closed in 1960 and stayed in the Lumsden family. After remodeling, the Schoolhouse Lodge opened in 2001. Although there are other preserved schools around the state, this one is the only existing school building that's still standing on its original location.
After you've scoured the walls and soaked in the school's history, take a break in your educational escape!
Staying at the Schoolhouse means getting the entire lodge! This comfortable retreat has six bedrooms with private bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, and mud room.
The Schoolhouse is well-prepared for your large gatherings.
Most folks come to the Schoolhouse Lodge for duck hunting (this is right south of Stuttgart after all). In addition to the restful lodge, guests can also hire professional guides to assist in duck or goose hunts. They'll definitely "school" you on where the best spots are!
Whether you're hunting for waterfowl or just a unique retreat, the Schoolhouse Lodge is a place worth checking out!
During duck season the Lodge is $75/person with a $300 minimum. The off season is $65/person with a $325 minimum. For all the details and to book your stay visit the Schoolhouse's website.
