Amazing Stay!

This is a beautiful home with so much character! Our family enjoyed it so much. There was plenty of space to spread out, tons of towels and extra blankets. Very close to nice parks and the Osage Beach. We would recommend this unique, beautiful home to families/big groups!

Family Get Together

This place is amazing. Plenty of space to host a large group like we had. The set up is amazing and all the space, bedrooms, living room up and downstairs. Many bathrooms so no problems there and such a great location . Can walk to: OBT, Beyer’s Market and Byer’s Liqour Store. Lynda is wonderful. She met me there, did a walk through of the house and was also quick to repaind to the question I had. Already working on a family get together next year.

Had a great time!

We loved the stay! The property was amazing and we would absolutely stay again! The only item to update is check out time, online it says 1 pm but at the location all over the house it says 11am, so just a note to update that. Beautiful place, lake just down the street, dishes and cooking items there for us to use, comfy beds! Thank you!!

Amazing large family rental

From prior to checking in through the duration of our stay out expectations were far exceeded! The house was large enough for our family vacation of 20 and the location was perfect. A playground and beach within walking distance and plenty of indoor activities for the rainy times! We will definitely be back!

Excellent gathering space for large group

Unique place with sleeping arrangements for 23. Huge kitchen area well stocked. Lots of room for people to gather both upstairs and downstairs. Straight lake, which is nearby was also very nice as we brought a boat. Members of our group said they’d be willing to come here again we gathered as a large family get together.

Sibling ATV trip

Great place to stay. ATV trails left from the parking lot. Gas and food across the street. Place was amazing. Everything you would need and more. Tv satellite was not working but wasn’t much time for that anyways. Would recommend to everyone to stay here.

WW 2024

Our group of friends have had an annual women's weekend starting in 1987. We have had 12-30 ladies join us over the years. This year we decided to stay at Osage and everything was perfect with everything we may need within walking distance. The house had towels, a Blackstone, crockpots, cooking utensils, appliances, soap, and bathroom toiletries. It met all our needs and beyond!!

Very clean, well maintained, well equipped home.

We had our four children, their spouses and several of our grandkids together for a family reunion. It was wonderful to all be together in a very roomy, comfortable house. We would love to go back and do it again someday, as we all decided we had discovered a "gold mine". The house manager was very helpful and wonderful to work with, thank you Lynda. Thank you to the owner old this old schoolhouse, what a great place!

Perfect Family Reunion Site

The old school house was the perfect spot for our family reunion. The place was so well thought out with space for everyone and every activity. Everything we could have needed was available at the house. Even though the house is by the highway, it was completely quiet inside and peaceful in the back yard. We loved the location because we could get ice across the street and a couple items we forgot next door at the grocery store. The beach was a huge hit with the younger kids along with the park, both a block or two away. This is by far our favorite place to spend our family reunion and we will definitely be back!

A Perfect Week in MN Lake Country

Our 2nd time at the Osage Schoolhouse for a family event was terrific. Four families from different directions arrived to a well-appointed and beautifully decorated place for 14 of us to enjoy each other's company, swim in Straight Lake, cook, play games, visit Itasca State Park, and engage in highly competitive mini golf at nearby Park Rapids. Lynda was great getting us checked in, everything was clean, orderly, and well stocked, from the ice cubes to the spice cupboard. The kitchen is spacious, well equipped, and there is a Blackstone Griddle available on the deck for outdoor cooking. The kids and teenagers had a fun time playing lawn games in the yard. I had a couple ZOOM business meetings during our stay, and the WIFI worked great, even with many of us on it at times. The grocery and liquor stores less than a rock throw away as well as the OBT are convenient for an impulse need or something forgotten at home. We would definitely recommend and reuse this property.

Wonderful place for a family to gather!

4 families (14 people) stayed comfortably for a long weekend! We were so pleased with the accommodations that we are already planning our next trip to Osage! We were looking for a place that would accommodate little kids (ages 3-6), teenagers, married couples and Gma/Gpa - the Osage School house had everything we needed. Kitchen is stocked with everything a foodie would need (incl. a grill, nice blender, Kitchenaid mixer, knives, pots, pans, etc). We moved the tables together and ate TOGETHER as a group of 14 - what a treat! Living room had games, puzzles and there were 3 places to watch TV in the building (or hook up a gaming system). Short, easy walk to a beautiful, sandy beach; floating dock to jump from, tree rope for swinging and a gradual drop off just perfect for little kids. Plenty of linens, extra towels (even beach towels!) at the Osage Schoolhouse for guests to use. Children enjoyed the 'Noah's Ark' and nearby playground. Bunk beds are in alcoves, not rooms, so not ideal for the little kids - but worked great for teenagers. Plenty of bathrooms and bedrooms to allow for everyone to spread out - the big upper level space allowed for games, conversation, and cooking to go on upstairs while the children napped downstairs uninterrupted. Nice to have laundry onsite! Tackle shop across the street has a small burger/fries/pizza kitchen; food was delicious. Short drive into Park Rapids for grocery store, Walgreens or WalMart. Check in/Check out was fast and easy.

Perfect Accommodations for a Family Vacation

All of us were thrilled with this place from the moment we stepped in. The pictures online make it look really nice, but it’s truly even better in person. The whole place is beautiful! The living/dining area is spacious, comfortable, and open. You can eat dinner with a full view of the kids playing in the living room, and cook and wash dishes while everyone is chatting and laughing around you. There was plenty of space for us to spread out for some quiet time too. Everything is so clean, well-stocked, and inviting. We loved having a big kitchen with all the dishes and gadgets you could need or want, including two ovens and the biggest cast iron skillet I’ve ever seen. Taco meat for 20? No problem with that gem! Having a place to eat all together and play games/relax all together was a favorite for our family, and many of us mentioned that as a highlight. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and all the bunk rooms and bedrooms worked perfectly for our big family. We could see ourselves fitting there for a couple more years! We had enough space for a yard game tournament, and the kids loved the play structure that the church allows guests to use in the back. It was really nice too to have the little Byers market a block or two away — that came in handy for the few extra ingredients we needed. We all took a walk a couple times down to the lake where people could enjoy the lakeside view or swim to the floating dock. It’s a nice walk and so close to the Schoolhouse! It was so great to be able to swim on a hot day within walking distance of the house. Though the schoolhouse is on a main road, the occasional passing traffic didn’t really bother us. The town itself is actually very quiet, and the people we didn’t meet were kind and friendly. For anyone holding out because of the in-town location, don’t let that stop you! You won’t be disappointed with this spot. The Schoolhouse is a TREASURE! We felt so comfortable and relaxed on our vacation weekend. What a gift for our family. We would love to come again!

Awesome Experience!

The host was amazing! She met us at the property and walked us through answering any questions we had. The house was exactly as described and extremely clean. We had 20 people staying at the house for my sons wedding. There was lots of room for everyone! They also had lots of extras like games and toys for the kids. They even had a pantry with staples just in case we needed something when we were cooking. Check out process was easy. I would definitely recommend this property!!

Menahga wedding review

We arrived and checked in and found the extremely well stocked kitchen suited our needs perfectly. We made lunch for the bride and groom to be and their friends and family and the made dinner. The road outside is busy but inside the School house it was barely audible. The bathrooms were clean and functional. The beds were comfortable. The entertainment systems were easily accessed.

Perfect Family Gathering

This is our third time staying at the school house. This is the perfect spot to host our gathering with ample room for eating, playing games, hanging out and sleeping. We love the outdoor space for outside games, the quiet neighborhood for morning walks, the next door grocery store for forgot items, the comfortable beds, and the three fridges to hold everything. We will continue to make this our annual gathering spot.

Outstanding family gathering place!

Clean and well stocked. Large eating area and family room. Osage Lion’s beach a short walk away. Linda, the manager, was extraordinarily responsive. She gave us a tour at the start and even showed up that night to fix a minor problem. When severe weather threatened, she showed exceptional concern for our safety. (She is originally from Kansas and knows severe weather.) This is the place to be for a great experience.
