Romantic 1840s Schoolhouse > Private Hot Tub > 1 Hr to Saratoga | House in Amsterdam
1 Bedroom House in Cranesville, Amsterdam
Sleep inside 185 years of history. This one-room schoolhouse was built in 1840, taught generations of local children, and has been completely renovated into a private retreat for two — original timbers and antique sliding doors preserved, modernized around a king bed, propane fireplace, private hot tub on the covered deck, and an oversized rain-shower for two. An hour from Saratoga, easy reach to Cobleskill, Howe Caverns, Cooperstown, and the southern Adirondacks. Built for couples who want somewhere that doesn't feel like everywhere else.
Why Couples Book This Property;
Genuine 1840s schoolhouse — not a themed cabin, actually 185 years old
Private hot tub on a covered deck you won't share with anyone
Walk-in rain shower with dual showerheads on independent temperature controls
Propane fireplace and king bed for cold-weather trips
Fully stocked kitchen if you'd rather stay in than go out
No on-site host, no shared space, no foot traffic
The Space
Roughly 800 square feet of fully private space for two: bedroom, bathroom, living area, kitchen, and a covered back deck with a private hot tub. Antique sliding barn doors salvaged from another 19th-century schoolhouse separate the bedroom and bathroom — original, beautiful, and they don't seal like modern doors. For two people, it's part of the story.
