• YUKA (10/5): -
• Helga (7/5): - An interesting accommodation with very friendly staff.
• John (10/5): -
• Sophie (10/5): Fun spacious rooms great with babies! - Modern big rooms - able to set up our baby’s travel crib and still did a Pilates session in the room! Fun set up in the school! Easy check in process A little eerie with no lights on in lobby or hallways
• Andrea (10/5): - Struttura alternativa, trattandosi di una scuola trasformata in hotel. Vasca idromassaggio con vista sul bosco sempre accessibile. Camera accogliente e confortevole. Possibilità di fare bbq in autonomia (presenza di tutti gli attrezzi, quindi bisogna portare solo cibo).
• Martin (10/5): - Very nice host, large and cozy room. Hot tube is great.
• Andreas (8/5): Ein komfortables Erlebnis in guter Lage. - Super Lage für unsere Zwecke. Direkt an der Hauptstraße, aber weit genug weg. Nette und bemühte Gastgeber, die ebenfalls dort wohnen und bei allen Problemen/Fragen gerne helfen und Lösungen finden. Besonders toll ist der gratis Kanuverleih, Whirlpool, Pool, Grill, und die relativ großen Zimmer. Wenn man Glück hat, hat das Restaurant/Bar nebenan geöffnet und man bekommt dort Frühstück. Duschen und Toiletten waren sauber und sind nur wenige Meter weit weg von den Zimmern. Alles wirkte noch etwas durcheinander und im Aufbau. Es hat leider noch zu viel einer alten Schule und ist entsprechend kalt/steril/laut wenn man durch den Flur läuft. Es ist viel DIY und an manchen Stellen sieht es nach offener Baustelle / unfertigem Projekt aus. Alles wichtige funktionierte. Es wirkt daher (noch) zu wenig nach einem schönen Hotel zum wohlfühlen. Es fehlten uns lediglich Vorhänge am Zimmerfenster, so wurde man zwangsläufig von der Sonne geweckt.
• Bruna (7/5): -
• Phil (10/5): Should you re-visit the area or refer a friend you will want to re-book the School House Inn - 10 REASONS WHY THIS IS A MUST STAY LOCATION! 1/. This place is not only comfortable but very affordable and close to parks and lots of places to site see and enjoy the adventure. Round Lake boat ramp is virtually within meters of your stay 2/. A Convenience Store which maintains a good supply of grocery items and is a LCBO outlet is right across the street 3/. An onsite restaurant (Eva’s Cafe) where the food is super delicious … you have to try Eva’s Hungarian Cabbage Rolls 😊😊😊 4/. The beds are very comfortable and your room has its own fridge to keep food and drinks cool. 5/. Has 2 EV charging stations if you need to charge your electric vehicle overnight. 6/. Has a Washing Station to clean your dishes or fillet your fish 🎣🎣 7/. Has A BBQ with picnic tables and a place to have your own campfire 8/. Has an above ground Swimming Pool and a Hot Tub 9/. Lots of games on site for the kids 10/. Within 30-40 minutes drive to neighbouring towns of Killalo, Barry’Bay and Pembrooke NOTHING … 👍👍👍
• Qin (9/5): -
• Yang (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): - Wspaniali gospodarze. Super lokalizacja zaraz koło parku narodowego. Do dyspozycji Kajaki i jakuzzi ;) niesamowity klimat miejsca. Polecam - i co najważniejsze super stosunek jakości do ceny
• Richard (7/5): An interesting experience with a nice room, nice meal, and very quiet, comfortable stay. - It was interesting to be staying at an actual old school. The room was well renovated with wood panel walls and private bath. At night it was very very quiet. The cafe attached was also a nice surprise to get a meal and coffee before settling down into the room that night. The lady working the cafe was very friendly and made a great sandwich and coffee for me. I also loved the completely contactless service. I was simply texted the entry codes for the room. No check in or check out required. The bed was comfortable. There was no AC, although it wasn't a big issue in September, I could see this being a problem in hotter months. Even a ceiling fan would have helped. Would have liked to see a mat for shoes/boots. They only left 3/4 of a roll of toilet paper with no backup rolls. The BELL TV box was extremely complicated to use. It kept cutting off my show and throwing me all over the place, frantically trying to fix it and get back to the movie I was watching, but then it wanted menu options, reprogramming, and all kinds of other stuff. It kept doing this every half hour and throwing me to some Arabic News Channel. Frustrating.
• Jason (10/5): Very comfortable - The onsite restaurant The quirky school items Nothing
• SIMEONI (9/5): Paradise on the East Side of Round Lake - If you want quiet then this is the place to stay. Clean and style friendly. Lots to do especially if you have kids. There's an outdoor BBQ, basketball court, hockey pad, and huge sandbox for the little ones. Water access and small beach is a short drive away (by the church road/boat ramp). Cafe/restaurant is managed by the owner and is all based on her home cooking and fresh. Dinner is available until 7:30pm after which the kitchen and premises pretty well shuts down but there are still things to do for the patrons on the grounds (lots of picnic tables and chairs, and fire pit). Room (#10) was spacious and comfortable. Clean and well laid out. Bathroom has the correct and necessary amenities. Honey is curated by the owner and delicious. The room's shower is small and would be a tight fit for anyone stockier or larger in size. No room to move or bend down. No problem with smaller stature physiques. Toilet area is also a tight squeeze for anyone of XL size.
• Marilyn (8/5): Très correct pour une étape très original de dormir dans une ancienne école - Cet hôtel est très atypique, c’était très sympa de dormir dans une ancienne école. On voit bien que c’était une Ecole. Le couple qui gère l’établissement est très sympathique et très accueillant. Ils ont un petit restaurant dans l’école pour le repas et pour le petit déjeuner c’était pas cher du tout et plutôt bon l’hôtel est un peu perdu au milieu de pas grand-chose au bord d’une route. C’était une étape car il n’y a rien à faire à pied autour. Nous sommes baignés dans la piscine et dans le jacuzzi c’était très agréable. Peut-être la chambre un peu petite, mais c’est tout
• Mandy (10/5): - We had a great stay here! Super comfy bed and the owners were welcoming and very friendly. Also very accommodating of early check in. Love the noon check out as well. The pool and hot tub are a great feature as well.

• Bouchard (10/5): Beautiful unique experience - Beautiful stay at the School House Inn. Owner.are very welcoming and will go out of their way to assure that you have a comfortable stay. There is a small café that is also part of the School House Inn where u can sit and eat pizza or have breakfast. On site, you will find a well maintained pool as well as a hotub (both shared). We went we r two children-pre teens and they enjoyed their experience. There is also a BBQ on site as well as two firepits. I highly recommend this listing.
• Richards (9/5): Very enjoyable, lovely room. - We really enjoyed our stay at Schoolhouse Inn. The hosts were friendly and hard-working to ensure the guests had all comforts available. Very cool to stay at the renovated room in an old school. Highly recommend!
• Alan (9/5): Superb - The room had plenty of room, clean and very comfortable, with everything we needed. Great location for our visit to Algonquin Park. Will certainly return when visiting the area again. Thank you!
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean great service
• Kevin (10/5): Fabulous place, highly recommend. - Adorable place perfectly situated for a xc ski weekend. Owners were warm, generous and welcoming. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable and we loved having a chance to skate on the rink. Restaurant is amazing, with so much attention to detail in every meal. Nothing, it was perfect.
• Alana (10/5): A beautiful nostalgic surprise in cottage country. - Terrific stay. Super clean. Great people! Nice surprise. Would recommend this place to anyone!
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): It couldn't have been better! - Perfect 1 night stay at Eva's while I was in the area. Comfy, quiet, clean room. Its in a peaceful location with extra amenities (skating rink, hottub....). Excellent dinner and breakfast prepared on request by Eva. I also grabbed an assortment of her goodies to take home. A bonus was some great conversation with the friendly hosts.
• Roger (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chantal (10/5): A nice retreat to recenter myself - The owner greeted me and was attentive to my needs during my stay without intrusiveness. He even texted me that the restaurant would be open (normally closed on that day during the winter) in case I wanted a New Year's Eve meal. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the WIFI was excellent. An unexpected bonus: the washroom floor in my room was heated and it felt wonderful not to have to step on the cold tile after my shower!
• Joy (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful staff.
• Aleksandr (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kelsey (9/5): Great spot for a restful sleep. - Comfortable, cozy spot for resting after long work days. The fireplace feature definitely put me to sleep. I didn't think I would ever have to go back to school! But the room was furnished with a cabin feel, so no complaints.
• John (10/5): My stay was very enjoyable and it fit my needs very well. - The location was very handy for my needs (it was close to family that I was visiting) and the facility was quite unique. I appreciated having the cafe on site as well. I will be using the Schoolhouse Inn again in the future. The staff were very nice.
• Lauren (10/5): What a best experience. We will be back! -
• Syed (10/5): The best place to stay in the area. - The location and facilities were excellent. Price was affordable. Host was friendly.
• Donald (10/5): I will be back it is a lovely place keep the great work up - The stafff was extremely nice and very help full I would recommend people to stay there I know my self I would be back to stay.it is very comfortable and friendly and you felt welcome will be back You have a beautiful place lots to do there pool hot tub all kinds of things you can do out side for sports fire pit barbecue out side shelter it is a quiet place and friendly. The property is big and could do lots of stuff with kids there keep the great job up
• Leona (9/5): Good value, has great amenities and very clean cozy rooms - The place was fairly newly renovated. We loved the hot tub and soft towels. Bed was also very comfortable. The room was very clean and everything smelt like clean laundry Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there. The owner is on vacation. Very disappointing as part of the reason why we booked this was the convenience of breakfast at the inn and the good reviews on the cafe.
• Randy (7/5): A unique experience in a quiet setting. - These folks have done a wonderful job transforming a school building into an Inn. Lots of attention to detail, it’s very clean and well kept. The shared washroom wouldn’t be a big deal if you’re accustomed to B and B or hostel type of accommodation. However at our age, and needing to use a facility multiple times through the night, makes this less than ideal. The internet was inconsistent so watching a movie became a non-starter. Unfortunately, when we were there, the owners were away so there was nobody onsite to deal with issues that might arise.
• Clement (8/5): Very good - The room and the entire facility were very clean. It was very easy to check in, even at late hours. Room was spacious, and beds were quite comfy. Worth mentioning that the room does not have a private bathroom, it is shared. I didn't get to try the breakfast since the cafe on the property was closed and only opened at 12PM.
• Merna (8/5): Very good - Clean, well kept.
• Richard (10/5): Family rented two rooms. So convenient and great outdoors - BBQ, fire pit, store nearby, fun for families I wish we could have stayed longer
• Carolinefvincent (9/5): Superb -
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alex (8/5): Cool little place at a great price. I definitely will stay again. - I arrived late and left in the morning. Access was easy and one of the hosts came out to greet me and make sure I made it into my room ok. Room was large, comfortable and clean. The pool and grill areas looked like a fun place to hang out - which I would have if I had time. The toilet and shower were a bit tight for my plus sized self but not uncomfortable. I think it was due to the fact that the room was originally a supply closet? It wasn't a big deal.
• James (10/5): Really enjoyed our stay, will come back. - Great breakfast 😋 w
• Mark (10/5): Family vacation extrodinaire - Best place every for family vacation. Because it used to be a school, it has literally everything a kid could want to play with. Great for grownups too. Owners are very congenial and do a great job of taking care of the place and its guests.
• Liz (10/5): Very nice stay - Comfortable Convenient and comfy
• Roz (8/5): Good location if you are exploring the area by car. Very spacious and comfortable room. The - The room was very spacious ‘ and I had a very good sleep as it was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable.
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Wendy (9/5): Great location and facilities. Would come again if ever in the area. - The room was spacious and had most of what we needed. The bed was a little softer than we would have liked.
• Pauline (9/5): A great alternative to camping - glamping - and wonderful hosts! - The room size, pool, hot tub, loaner Canoes’s and basketball courts were great for a family stay. Location right by the lake and the hosts Sandor and Eva were incredibly helpful and kind. Also very clean! Access to a kitchen space other than the bbq area would have been great as the cafe was closed for 3 out of the 4 days we were there. Lots of places to eat around but wanted to self cater and limited with cooking utensils etc. having said that Eva lent us a kettle and mugs and so they really did thier best to help us!
• Mary (9/5): We enjoyed our stay and would stay again if in the area. - The breakfast was excellent and Eva was a very gracious and accommodating hostess. The dinners we had were excellent as well. It would be an excellent accommodation for anyone travelling with children as there is a pool and lots of outdoor activities. Eva and her husband have done a wonderful job of converting the school into an inn and cafe. The room was very comfortable and well laid out.
• Karl (8/5): Very friendly hosts who cared both for their guests, the property and the environment -
• Chantal (10/5): Wonderful stay and for sure going back - My sister and I had a 2 night stay at the school house inn! The owners are real sweet hearts especially Eva ! And her food is amazing. My sister and I felt so comfortable and taken care of. We love that it's a small business so it was quiet and felt like home in a way... and Eva's Cafe is so good .. a lot is made with food from her garden! So fresh and yummy ! And the town ppl who eat there are also nice it all had a small town vibe ! It was great🥰 The lake's and beaches shown are not walking distance.. but other then that it was a beautiful stay
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient Nothing
• David (10/5): Amazing in so many ways - Everything... Sandor and Eva are super hospitable and really went the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The fact that it this was the old schoolhouse and they have left some original features gives the property a real charm And the food.... well... wow... proper delicious homemade cooking, only empty plates after you eat for sure! Room was spacious,bed comfy and nice and peaceful. Great base to visit all the natural.beauty in the area, and algonquin is only an hour away down the road Nothing... Wish we could have stayed longer!
• Edoardo (10/5): Exceptional - Staff Position Bug spaces
• S (9/5): Superb - Restaurant connected to the Inn. Friendly staff. Good communications.
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Roger (10/5): PERFECT!!!!, it met ALL my Families needs! Even Electric Vehicle Chargers! 👍 - The Room was spacious, rustic, CLEAN with All the needed amenities, including a Great Restaurant with VERY Hospitable Owners, that make you comfortable and welcome!!!!!!!!
• Roger (10/5): I’ll be back for certain. - The Breakfast was great, the Owner and the Chef were a pleasure and very hospitable! Very CLEAN!
• Ron (10/5): Cozy Room. - I liked there was a great little Cafe that you could eat Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner depending on what you needed being out and about enjoying other activities in the area. You Just had to give the owners a heads up on what meal is needed.The Bed was comfortable and the In wall electric Fireplace was an added touch . The Shower and Toilet area is not made for Large people. The Sink area is Roomy.
• Rebecca (10/5): Schoolhouse Special!!! - We were big fans of the hot tub! It was perfect for a night under the stars. The whole concept is great I had actually been to the school when it was still functional so it was such a cool experience to spend a couple nights! We didn’t get a chance to try the food but they were supper nice! The rooms are also beautiful and the bathroom was super cute! Definitely a must for anyone’s valley stay!
• Shawn (7/5): Good - The regular room looked very nice, but we were in the room under renovation. Sandor went out of his way to make us comfortable under the circumstances, but just the bed being on the floor was unfortunate. Other than that, given that we knew it was under renovation in advance, it more ore less met our expectations. We would recommend that if the cafe needs to be closed, at least coffee and muffins are offered at breakfast time, since no other option is available in the area.
• Arjun (10/5): Hosting is a talent - learn it from Sandor and Eva. Great stay and food. - Super clean and great host.
• Oscar (9/5): Very nice place to stay. Good location, good food and nice attention from the owners. - The cleanliness of the instalation, The home made breakfast is awesome. Please try the magnificent home made donuts. I will definitive stay there in my next visit to the area. Thank you Mrs Eva for all your attentions Our room did not have a desk. Not sure if this is the standard in the rooms. Having a desk or at least a table & chair will improve the service.
• Jennifer (9/5): Superb - It felt very welcoming, a home away from home. The food we ordered from Eva was all homemade and delicious. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. I would recommend staying here if you plan to be in the area, hiking in Algonquin Park nearby. In the summer months, there are canoes to use on Round Lake across the street, BBQ, pool, green space, and hot tub. There is a place to have a bonfire as well. Unique place, with very special hosts. Thank you again.
• Yi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Margo (9/5): Superb - Lovely woody interior with "fireplace" for extra atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful host. Too bad Eva's Cafe was closed when i visited.
• Peter (9/5): We look forward to returning for another holiday. - We appreciated being able to get breakfast in the adjacent restaurant, to help us make full use of the planned activities. The room was spacious, with high ceiling, super clean. Location is close to golf and live music in Wilno.
• Piaf (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (8/5): Very good - It was quaint and love the idea of repurposing a school. It was very clean and room was very spacious. Owners met us when we arrived which was nice
• Laure (10/5): Exceptional - Thank's for your welcoming ans the little attention like toys for our baby 😊 We enjoy the hot tub despit tje Nothing
• David (9/5): At the Schoolhouse Inn at Killaloe Station, we reveled in an unparalleled hospitality experience, enjoying a wonderfully - Very unique facility with a plethora of unexpected amenities. It is in an area with very few food options, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays when the on-site restaurant/Cafe is closed.
• Kalina (10/5): We will certainly stay at the Schoolhouse Inn again when we do our annual trip to the area! - The hosts were very communicative and check in was a breeze. The room was very clean and updated. We were very comfortable as a family of 4. We had plans outside of the motel so didn’t have a chance to try the cafe but it looked good :)
• Kapadia (10/5): Exceptional - The concept and the morning breakfast at evas cafe.Room is spacious and clean.I will stay at this place the next time I visit. Nothing there to not like
• Kathrin (9/5): Superb -
• Markus (9/5): Superb - Eva prepares very good food - real homemade! And please try the cake, its fantastic!
• Shirley (10/5): Exceptional - Unique accommodation which was ideally located for exploring the Algonquin area.
• Tia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional - The facilities and the room are great. We had a nice time staying at schoolhouse inn! Nothing
• Elizabeth (10/5): Gluten Free at Eva's Cafe - The room's interior was beautifully decorated in pine. It was quiet, but most importantly for me and my husband, the owner and cook at the attached Eva's Cafe were very accommodating of my need for gluten free food, and his need for gluten free and dairy free food. Nothing.
• Robert (10/5): Very beautiful and great hospitality!! - The property was beautiful and the staff was amazing. The property has a ice rink in the winter, a pool in the summer, a bbq with picnic tables and a hot tub all year round! The food was delicious and well worth every penny at Eva’s Cafe! The donuts and smoothies were my favourite and I definitely plan on coming back for more! There was nothing wrong with the property during our stay!
• Genevieve (10/5): Terrific spot to stay in Ottawa valley! - Hosts were attentive and approachable. Excellent home-cooked meal. Unique stay. We will return!!
• Julie (8/5): Good experience - It’s a renovated old school Nothing
