For those in search of a large vacation rental to host a family reunion, wedding or retreat, the Manzanita School House offers a unique experience.

The remodeled, secluded building is located off of U.S. Highway 101 across from downtown Manzanita. Formerly known as the Pine Grove School, the school was built in 1928. It was the primary school for the community until about 1950.

The property is situated on more than an acre of wooded landscape and is available for rent to one group at a time.

Both floors of the school are self-contained and have large spaces for people to spread out. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms upstairs, along with a kitchen, living room, dining room and washer and dryer. Downstairs, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a TV room, ping pong table, bar and another kitchen and washer and dryer set.

There is also an outdoor fire pit, barbecue and gazebo.

Guests do not need to travel far to enjoy the picturesque landscape surrounding the property. Manzanita’s 7-mile long beach is within walking distance, and runs beneath Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain, a popular hiking spot. The property is also nestled in between two beloved state parks, Nehalem Bay State Park and Oswald West State Park.

Unique boutiques, grocery stores, coffee shops and a variety of restaurants and bars can be found in Manzanita’s downtown. It is also worth checking out the neighboring cities of Nehalem and Wheeler, which also have several quality dining and recreational options.
