School days, school days, Dear old golden rule days.
‘Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic…………
Your school days can last a little longer with a visit to Shawnee Forest Country of Southernmost Illinois.
Book a stay in a converted schoolhouse, or in a school bus. Shop for pottery in a 1928 elementary school, and step back in time in a one room school house.
Enjoy a Schoolhouse stay, at the Davie School Inn, Anna, IL. Stay in one of the 8 historic schoolhouse classroom subject-themed suites or 3 romantic luxury suites. Themes include: Earth Science, geography, music & art, math, reading & writing, science, social studies and American history. Pamper yourself with a romance package then wake up to a spectacular breakfast served in your room!
For a glamping experience, stay in the heart of Shawnee Forest Country in a 2008 Bluebird School Bus converted into a charming tiny home! The Skoolie, near Vienna, IL is a beautifully furnished bus with high-end finishes, modern appliances and plenty of character and can accommodate up to 4 guests.
For more of a camping experience, try a solar powered school bus tiny home nestled under open skies, near to the forest, with a lake front view, a full bed, kitchen with two burner stove & sink, & a cozy couch. But, take note, this one is not a place for people who are uncomfortable with nature.
