Grey Highlands Schoolhouse

The schoolhouse was a very restful, pastoral change from our city lives and left us with a desire to experience more of that peacefulness. A rejuvenating nature filled respite.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff Hogan

Host profile image
Geoff & Alex moved to the Beaver Valley in the early 90's and they, their two daughters and golden retriever love the area and all it has to offer in all four seasons.

Why they chose this property

The schoolhouse is a unique and rustic building - more a chalet/cottage property than a home but with modern amenities

What makes this property unique

Close to the Bruce Trail, Ski Clubs and other natural areas.
