Welcome to The Sonder Schoolhouse, a piece of Elmwood history dating back to 1907. Discover the art of slow-living & reconnect with nature's rhythm on the backroads in the high hills of Wisconsin's cherished Pierce County. You're a stone's throw from Nugget Lake and some of the best bass fishing, hiking & ATV trails, a scenic drive to the Mississippi Coast, Pepin, and Maiden Rock. Peace, quiet and the great outdoors await at this sweet countryside retreat. The space is a charming refuge from the city and offers the opportunity to take a step back into the simple pleasures of nature. The space maintains most of it's original character, offering high ceilings, original hardwood floors, newly renovated bathroom, and picturesque views from a light-flooded room high in the countryside. The original open-concept, featuring one large room, is equipped with an incredibly comfortable memory foam queen bed, a twin bed, and a cozy couch. The property sits on 1.5 acres, and has room for tent camping in the backyard for a small fee per additional guest.

The pantry is stocked with sea salt, pepper, some basic cooking herbs, local coffee beans, and herbal tea. We have a work desk with some writing supplies, colored pencils and crayons, board games, a record player with a few of our favorite records on hand, and a handpicked collection of books to cozy up and dive into.

Weekend Trip to Sonder Schoolhouse

Sonder Schoolhouse was such a beautiful place to stay for the weekend! Super quaint and had everything we needed & we loved how secluded it was while also being close to the Twin Cities. The host was also reliable and available for any questions. The only downside - there were a lot of flies inside that could be annoying at times.

4 nights at The Loft at Strawberry Hill Farm

We stayed here for our anniversary weekend and had a great time. The dwelling is a well renovated and spacious loft in a barn at the back of a property. Although physically near other hobby farms, it felt secluded and private. It’s a short drive, about 20 minutes, north to Stillwater and all the amazing dining options or the same distance south to Afton State Park with its hiking trails.

3 nights at The Flipping RV

We loved being able to have our own getaway at a family reunion. Penny is clean, cute and comfortable with loads of little thoughtful perks. We loved not having to bring our own linens and/or dishes and appreciated the K-cups and dog treats they stocked the camper with. Delivery and pick up were both super prompt and we would highly recommend this to anyone!

Weekend Trip to The Flipping RV

We loved our stay in the RV Penny, and would definitely recommend. Nicole is the best host I've ever encountered (and that's normally a thing that stands out to me); she made everything so easy and was incredibly responsive. She even had a birthday gift waiting for our daughter because I'd mentioned we were celebrating her 5th bday. Penny is adorable and clean and has everything you could need--honestly, just bring your clothes. I thought it might feel complicated rent a camper and then find a site and coordinate everything getting set up, but Nicole took care of it all and it couldn't have been easier. I highly recommend!
