About this property

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!

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.

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.

Beautiful and serene

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!
