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!

We absolutely loved our stay at the School House! Sarah has done an amazing job restoring this property and filled it with all the comforts of home and more. A couple of great highlights are the location, mountain views, bunnies running around the land and the calming sounds of the creek in the back. Wonderful place in Montana!

My two-week stay at the Schoolhouse Cabin in Pray, Montana, was pure bliss. Nestled among trees with gorgeous views and a soothing creek nearby, it’s a serene escape. Sarah, the attentive owner, has beautifully refurbished this spotless cabin, making it feel like home. The well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches like a lighted makeup mirror were delightful surprises. Plenty of towels and cozy vibes added to the charm. Larissa’s warm assistance made everything perfect. This hidden gem is a must-stay—I’ve never slept better!

Beautiful little cabin! So thoughtfully decorated, you know she paid attention to every detail! Super clean and had everything you needed! Sitting on the deck drinking some coffee in the morning and listening to the water running through the creek was just amazing! And did I mention the views! Just 1 mile from the Chico Resort which has a great Sunday brunch. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Sue is a fabulous host. She greeted me at the door, and gave a very informative tour and recommendations for my trip to Yellowstone. The school house is very comfortable and cozy. It felt like home. Everything was thoughtfully put together with great attention to detail. She didn’t skip on anything. If you are looking for a get away in the mountains, this is the place to stay. I will definitely be back.

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.
