About this property
Charming 19th-Century Schoolhouse - Dogs Stay Free!
Nestled in the quiet hills just outside Dahlonega, the Schoolhouse Cottage is a lovingly restored 19th-century schoolhouse where history and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. With original floors, ceilings, and windows still intact, this one-of-a-kind retreat invites guests to step back in time — without sacrificing modern comfort. Filled with curated antiques, cozy touches, and thoughtful details (including dog-friendly stays with no added fee), it’s the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive. Whether you're sipping a cold Coke on the porch, snuggling into one of the famously comfy beds, or cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, every inch of the cottage is designed to help you relax and reconnect. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, small families, or four-legged friends, the Schoolhouse is a soulful escape you’ll want to return to again and again.

About the host
Hosted by Callie Wheat

My name is Callie and I grew up in Chattanooga, TN. I've lived in the Atlanta area since 2002. My husband and I have two children and three dogs. I have loved the mountains all my life and fell in love with Dahlonega and the surrounding area about 10 years ago when I made my first trip there. When I was trying to bring friends and family to visit I had a hard time finding available accommodations and it was then that I got the wild idea to become a vacation rental host myself. Since then the vacation rental market has exploded and I find myself to be one of the few hosts with a solitary property who tends to it myself between every booking. With that said, I fully enjoy making my little cottage the best possible experience for each of my guests.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I looked at many, many houses in the Dahlonega area yet I knew from the moment I first stepped foot in the Schoolhouse that this was the place. There was something about it's history and simplicity that reached into my heart and spoke to me. Not only would it be a beautiful and unique vacation cottage for guests but it would also be a perfect sanctuary for my own quiet escapes from the demands of daily life. The previous owners had done the remodeling which made it all the better. I loved perusing antique stores and estate sales as I let the house tell me how to furnish it. There are little changes here and there that I am sure I'll be making over the years but for now I am pleased to share with guests this little cottage in the woods and it brings me immense joy to provide each of them with a wonderful, memory making experience.
I am available via text message and can be at the cottage within an hour upon request.
