Cozy, Rustic Cabins near Chico Hot Springs & only 35 mins to YELLOWSTONE PARK!!

** PLEASE NOTE: For parties of more than 4 people, you can also rent The Teacherage Cabin next door, for a max of 8 people! See VRBO listing #1287958. We also have The Homestead Cabin a block away that sleeps up to 5 more. See VRBO #291029


Originally sited outside of Helena, this wonderfully rebuilt 1800's log cabin still holds all the magic and mystery of the old gold mining days. Owner, Sarah Muller bought the cabin, moved it and re-stacked it at its present location in the historic gold mining town of Old Chico.

The School House cabin sleeps four comfortably. Wireless internet is included. Small bathroom with shower, fully equipped kitchen; microwave, coffee maker, blender, stove, pots and pans, and a beautiful marbled gas fired stove.

A perfectly situated cabin in the middle of Paradise Valley, where you can gaze at the night stars in the peaceful serenity of the Emigrant Gulch.

Close enough to Yellowstone for day trips in the park and back home to enjoy a nice BBQ on the back deck or treat yourself to dinner out at one of the fine restaurants in the area.

Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to relax or a place near Chico Hot Springs and near Yellowstone Park to enjoy, the School House Cabin will not disappoint!

Schoolhouse Cabin near Yellowstone
The Schoolhouse Cabin was an absolute delight! It is located off the beaten path, a bit remote, quiet and peaceful with a stream running through the back of the property. It was also spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our week exploring Yellowstone. The owner was a great help in working out our plans. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Incredible!
What a great experience! The perfect place for a couple to go to and get away. It's located in a quiet area away from all the hustle and bustle but close enough to a few things if you need to run out and grab something. This was mine and my wife's first trip away alone with no kids or friends in over 20 years and it did not disappoint. The transformation Sarah has done to this property is amazing in itself! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who asked!

Amazing Cabin near Yellowstone
My wife and I loved this cabin. It is a renovated school house from the homestead era. The back porch has a view of small stream. It is ~30 minutes from the North entrance of Yellowstone, and the drive through the Paradise Valley next to the Yellowstone is beautiful. It is remote, but my wife and I loved that. It is not far from hot springs, saloons, and restaurants. Hopefully, we will be back to stay again sometime!

Sarah’s School House is a very impressive and well-appointed sanctuary. Sarah greeted us upon our arrival and gave us some amazing tips for visiting Yellowstone park and surrounding hikes. The School House is just about a mile from Chico Hot Springs Resort where we dined our first night there. Thank you, Sarah, for a wonderful stay!

We liked this comfortable nice cabin, It's not like a usual cabin, it's like a nice hotel apartment. We had a great time at Sarah's place. She has everything you need at her place. We felt at home plus a great view with a running creek nearby. It's easy to get to Yellowstone just half an hour's drive on a great scenic highway. Sarah is a wonderful person and host.

Charming and cozy cabin
We stayed with two young children and found the cabin to be a perfect space for us to rest on our vacation. Our four year old even asked the day we left if we could stay at the cabin again! Sarah had a binder full of information that lead us to some of our adventures. I enjoyed the reading material on the history of the schoolhouse cabin. Plenty of toiletries were stocked for our family. Sarah’s communication was consistent and much appreciated. We had a wonderful family trip 😊

Fantastic Montana Cabin Experience
Exactly as advertised. Picturesque old "one room" School House Cabin, beautifully renovated. Great history. Perfect relaxing spot and launching point for all that SW Montana and Yellowstone offers. The "School House" was well furnished with nicely stocked kitchen. Lots of hooks for hanging towels, clothes, etc. Our host, Sarah, was fantastic. Excellent communication. (She lives next door.) Provided tons of info and things to do/see based on her personal experience. Some amazing stories. Would definitely recommend to others that want the Montana cabin experience (without roughing it) to put you in the right mood for the wonderful history, sights and hikes for this area.

The School House gets an F
VRBO requires that reviewers award at least 1 star. At 1 star, “The School House” is grossly overrated. Our main complaint with this cabin was its total lack of storage. There was not one closet, drawer, shelf, hook, cubbyhole, rack, hanger, or space to put our belongings. Although we booked the cabin for one week, we were vacationing in Montana for nine weeks and we had a carload of baggage. So we would have been forced to live out of suitcases for a week and to line every square inch of limited floor space with bags. The result—a hazardous obstacle course, problematic for 72 year-olds navigating frequent nightly bathroom trips and recovering (husband) from recent knee replacement surgery. Immediately, we attempted to contact Sarah, the owner, but she was out-of-town and inaccessible by phone. We spoke to Larissa, the caretaker, who was sympathetic but had no authority to do anything. In addition, we found The School House depressing. It is a cluster of shacks in a run-down area facing a yard with (what looked like) rusting farm equipment. We opted to leave the cabin out of safety concerns. Four days later we heard from Sarah. She fired a hostile email snapping— no refund, caveat emptor. We lost $1800 but learned a painful lesson. Don’t stay in school. We give this rental an F.

The Old School House was amazing! It had everything we needed with a charm we hadn't experienced in any other rental. Sarah has thought of every detail. The entire place gives you a connection to Montana and its history making it that much more cozy. When we come back to Montana, we will definitely stay there again.
