School Master House

School Master House The Schoolmaster’s House, built in 1881 for a former Schoolmaster and who was Zoar’s first mayor. Each floor of the home has Google smart speakers.

The Schoolmaster's House, a historic home, has been lovingly restored to share with guests looking for a peaceful retreat for rest and rejuvenation or as a base when exploring Zoar Village and nearby Atwood Lake Region and Ohio’s Amish Country. Step back into another world and time and unwind with family and friends or slip into a romantic weekend in this recently restored historical home in the h

eart of Zoar Village, a National Historic Landmark. The historic Schoolmaster’s House retains many of the original features of the home, including exposed wood beams in the kitchen and exposed brick chimneys throughout, while offering modern conveniences such as a completely renovated main bath with jetted tub. The home is approximately 1900 square feet and boasts 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a back screened-in porch for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The first level greets guests with a comfortable living space that includes an electric fireplace with heat for added ambiance and warmth in the cooler seasons. There is an antique checker/game table and game chest with a selection of games for all ages. A record player with a small vinyl selection helps take you back to another time. If you prefer more modern conveniences, there is a 40” inch smart television that includes complimentary Netflix. The living room can be closed off by doors for privacy for guests using the Queen pull-out sofa. The dining room includes a custom Amish-made dining table that can comfortably seat up to eight (8). There is a wine bar with all the basic essentials for an evening nightcap after exploring the area.

A custom Amish-made coffee bar includes a Keurig coffeemaker, latte/cappuccino maker, a regular coffee pot, and an electric tea kettle. Off the kitchen is a screened-in back porch with two rocking chairs and a loveseat to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, read a book, or unwind with a glass of wine. The front porch offers a porch swing where you can enjoy the Zoar Schoolhouse across the street or catch an Amish buggy passing by. The second level has three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The main bedroom has a comfortable king-size four-poster bed and an electric fireplace. The second bedroom offers a Queen size bed and make-up vanity.

The house has been standing here since 1881, and early spring might be its quietest season.

March stays offer the same historic charm — just with more calm, more space, and fewer crowds.

This dining room has hosted conversations for generations.

In March, mornings stretch a little longer — light fills the room, coffee stays warm, and the house invites you to take your time.

Fun fact: During opening season, you can find real workers forging in the workshop AND you can actually purchase some of the ironware they make at the Zoar Store.

March brings those in-between moments — cool air, longer light, and the porch slowly coming back to life.

It’s one of our favorite times to stay: fewer visitors, more space, and the feeling of having the place to yourself.

This kitchen tends to become the heart of winter stays.

Coffee in the morning, unhurried meals, and time spent together without a schedule. In February, the house itself becomes the destination.
