Photos and Description of the Gardiner vacation cabin rental
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps 2-4

Take a step back in time and delve into the rich history of the area. Our 1916 Schoolhouse is located on the historic Stermitz Ranch in beautiful Cinnabar Basin, Gardiner, Montana. This is the original location of the school, which provided a much needed learning place for the children in this rural area - many of whose families immigrated to the area to work in coal mines. In 2009-2010, the schoolhouse was completely renovated to preserve the structure and maintain the historic integrity of the building. Many of the original items are on display for all to enjoy. From the moment you drive to the schoolhouse on the hill, you will be amazed by the breathtaking views. Once you set foot inside, you are in for a relaxing vacation. The schoolhouse boasts several tall windows, each with spectacular mountain views - aspen trees and wildlife abound. Watch deer, elk, and the occasional moose graze in the meadow out the front door.

Bears, wolves, and coyotes are sometimes spotted on nearby hills and fields.

Experience what life is like on a western ranch. We raise American Quarter Horses, and generally have at least one new foal every summer. Last summer our cabin guests were fortunate enough to witness the birth! The ranch is also home to chickens, pigs, cows, dogs, and cats. Have farm fresh eggs delivered to you upon request - our sons charge $3/dozen and offer free delivery.

A highlight of the Schoolhouse features: *Horseback rides available on property.

*Farm fresh eggs delivered.

*Hiking/cross-country skiing from the front door.

*King size bed with luxurious linens.

*Mountain views from every window.

*Beautiful location on the historic Stermitz Ranch.

*A short 20 minute drive to Yellowstone National Park.

*2 twin convertible beds also available.

*Cozy seating area with a charming propane fireplace.

*Carefully appointed details such as a tin ceiling, original wood floors, old school desks and books, a chalkboard, etc.

*Heated slate floor in the bathroom.

*Kitchen with a full size range.

*Opportunities for children to interact with animals.

*Western ranch experience.

Wow! Unforgetable.

5 of 5
Submitted: September 16, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This was an unforgetable stay. The historic renovations were as described and the photos were accurate. It is a cozy and comfortable cabin. It is decorated in a school house theme. The walls are full of photos dating back to the early days of the school house. We had all we needed and the owners were responsive and friendly. Rob stopped by and and told us more about the 100 year history of his family ranch and the school house in particular. Forget the TV and WiFi. You come here to get away from it all. I can't remember the last time I've seen a night sky so dark. No lights anywhere. The night sky and the Milky Way are so clear. We woke one morning to watch Venus and the moon rise over the mountain. In the morning and evening we watched the rangler run the horses between the corral and the upper pasture. There is a gravel road to reach the cabin, but we did not find it a problem in our little front wheel drive car. What a great escape!

Mountain Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: May 28, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Beautiful views from every window, cozy bed, warm fire, complete peace and quiet. Our Yellowstone vacation could not have been better with a wonderful base like the Schoolhouse. Stacy called to check on us to see if there was anything we needed and to make sure we were comfortable. Otherwise we did not see or talk with a soul (though we could have if we had wanted to.) We felt completely safe driving the narrow gravel road but were glad that we had rented a small suv since the access to the cabin is a steep-ish driveway. Everything we needed was provided in this lovingly restored building-both the kitchen and bath contained all of the amenities. The heated slate floor in the bathroom was a particularly nice touch on those cool mountain mornings. The small kitchen space presented some challenges, but nothing we couldn't overcome.
My husband and I both agreed that it was the perfect place for our Yellowstone vacation. The short drive in to the park each day was a small price to pay for the solitude and gorgeous mountain surroundings. We would not hesitate to recommend the Schoolhouse to other couples.

We so enjoyed this special get-away. The horseback ride for our children was the highlight. Plus, the adorable cabin, plus the scenery, plus quiet, and more. It was a vacation to remember.

Mountain view escape

5 of 5
Submitted: September 8, 2011 Stayed: September 2011
What peace and quiet. You sit and look out over the mountains, and see more stars than you can ever imagine. It is a true escape from the everyday. To sit and eat while gazing out at the mountains is a delight. The details of the schoolhouse surround you, from the blackboard to the bookcase full of old books. The owners have done a wonderful job preserving the history of the structure, but filling it with touches of luxury. It is well stocked for your every need. After long days of hiking and sightseeing in Yellowstone, it was such a retreat. We felt like we were the only two people around. We had wanted to do a horseback riding tour at the ranch, but a bicycling accident prevented us from doing so. That was our only disappointment!

A little slice of Heaven

5 of 5
Submitted: August 8, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
We enjoyed our 2 night stay in the Schoolhouse, very much! The fresh eggs, serenity, peacefulness of the ranch, and the welcoming staff, exceeded our expectations. We even went back a few days later, to book a Saddle and Paddle excursion through them. That, too, exceeded our expectations. If you want a little romantic place to stay, on a beautiful, secluded ranch, this is the place for you. Even the drive to the schoolhouse (about 4 miles down a gravel road) is so gorgeous and serene. We will always remember this Schoolhouse, and hope to return again one day. Thank you so much for this little slice of Heaven! Phil and Kelley P.S. The pictures of the schoolchildren in the schoolhouse were such a nice touch. I could just feel them attending class there, nearly a century ago. THANKS !
