There's A Historic Schoolhouse In Tiverton You Can Book On Airbnb & It Sounds Amazing

The guys who started Airbnb actually got the idea for the online home rental service after putting up a bunch of people who were in town for a tech conference at their apartment in San Francisco.

Thankfully the accomodation options have evolved beyond an air mattress in the corner of someone’s living room and a breakfast bowl of cold cereal.

I say this because the other day while motoring around Little Compton and Tiverton, we happened upon a pretty neat historic property that I later discovered is available on Airbnb.

Maybe you’ve driven by the Tiverton Four Corners Schoolhouse No. 1, which dates back to the mid 1800’s and boasts a working school bell (people who have stayed there have since let me know, via Instagram, how much fun they had ringing the bell), without realizing?

I certainly did and in retrospect felt badly because not knowing it was a private residence (in my defense it’s an easy mistake to make because the frontage does give the initial impression that it’s NOT in fact residential), I insisted on stopping the car and taking a bunch of phone photos, like the one above.

Now, after IG’ers left a bunch of glowing comments about their experiences there, knew I had to go on the app and see what the interior looked like. And with a working fireplace, sleek and updated kitchen and bath, and 2 comfy looking bedrooms, it did not disappoint! (See photos from the Airbnb listing below.)

Tbh, I’d love to reserve a night or two at this place in 2021. Last I checked, the rate was $241 a night. If this is something that sounds intriguing, definitely search Tiverton Four Corners Schoolhouse No. 1 on the Airbnb app soon.
