Welcome to The Schoolhouse – A charming cottage in historic Monticello, Florida.

This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit. Discover this fully renovated 1926 two-bedroom gem in the heart of Monticello, Florida. Named for one of two schoolhouses originally associated with the church now housing Monticello’s Chamber of Commerce, the home still reflects its history.

From reclaimed hardwood floors to refurbished original windows, doors, and moldings, you can experience the best of modern amenities and historic charm.

A nicely stocked kitchen awaits you with modern appliances, quartz countertops, and soft-close cabinetry. A washer and dryer in the space (hidden by cabinet doors) accommodates laundry needs.

The primary bedroom features a queen bed with a Sterns and Foster mattress, white noise and charging stations on each nightstand, luggage valet, and a restored 1930s medical cabinet for personal items if needed. Its accompanying en-suite offers a vintage-style tub with an overhead rain shower, dual vanity areas, and ample storage for all your travel essentials.

The second bedroom offers a full-size daybed with a twin trundle, white noise and charging station, luggage valet, dresser, and custom-built closet for storage and/or hanging items.

Sitting on the front porch, guests can capture views of Monticello's iconic courthouse cupola, views the the 1890 Perkins Opera House, and the Monticello's Old Jail.

Parking for one vehicle under the attached carport is easily
accessible, and street parking is typically readily available.

Sweet spot in a great location

We stayed here for two nights to visit our daughter and grandson. It’s a great home. It’s very clean and the location can’t be beat-easy walk or a very short drive to several nice restaurants. The home is well equipped with a full kitchen and comfy living and bedrooms. Check in and check out was easy. We’ll definitely be back!

The Schoolhouse may be the best VRBO property we have ever used...and we have been members 10 years and used many. Our hosts, the Bachmans, were very easy to work with and very responsive. The property is beautifully renovated and retains many of the historic touches of an early 20th century home. The home is equipped with new furnishings and kitchen utensils. Beds are very comfortable, and linens and bath items are well appointed. If you are in the area and looking for a very comfortable, affordable, and well-maintained place to stay...the Schoolhouse deserves a look. Also, 45 min from FSU for game day...:)
