Norwood is our nearest town, just 20-30 min. away. The county road is graveled, so no need for 4-wheel drive. Coming up for the first time, I would recommend the route off of HWY 145 at mile marker 96 onto Sanborn Park Road. About 10 miles. Directions and maps are added to this sight. You will find the map in the photos section. Please call if you need more specific information. Whichever way you come, from Montrose via the Davewood/SanbornPark roads, also called Forest Service 530 road or alternate route from Hwy 145 to Sanborn Park road, the views are stunning and the destination into our pristine area well worth the trip. The drive provides spectacular views of the San Juan Mountains. We are providing this opportunity for people who love the outdoors! Hope you will come and see what we have to offer.

It is glamping in a secluded spot yet still convenient for day trips to Telluride, Ouray, Silverton and tons of prime hiking and off roading close by. Save your money and stay here.

Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dreamy mountain trip We enjoyed our stay very much. The description and photos let you know what you are in for, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Being so far removed from civilization is just what we needed. Both adults and kids were thrilled, as was our dog, who needed an off leash vacation as much as we did. Wildlife is abundant! Our first night we saw a bear on the road, and the wildlife sightings just kept happening. We saw elk, marmots, turkey, deer, and tons of birds. One night returning to the school, we even had a mountain lion jump out in front of us and we got a full broadside view! The night sky in the yard was beautiful. Our host was very sweet and accommodating, and she even left homemade cookies on the table for us when we arrived. For those who are adverse to the pretty long gravel road from Montrose, the road to Norwood is much shorter, with Telluride, Ridgeway, and Ouray just down the way. Just be prepared for a mini million dollar highway to get up and down. We were old hands at driving it by the end of our trip though, and it was a non issue. All in all, a very enjoyable trip. We would return here in a minute. ##### Grant R. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob B.

It is truly a getaway, secluded, beautiful. Your kids will get a chance to explore, wander, build a fire, play. Move slower and reconnect. Look at the stars. Read about the history of the schoolhouse. Meet Ella, the artistic, kind host. Wake up every chilly morning to a view of snow-capped peaks and wind in the ponderosas and aspens. We will be back. ##### Rob B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nate S. Jun 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Peaceful Mountain Retreat Off the Beaten Path Charming. The place and its host, Ella. We loved staying at this converted schoolhouse as a family. Main qualm is the lack of accuracy of the posting. This Vrbo posting does not match up with its position on the map. Its actually miles and miles outside of Montrose down a very long dirt road. It feels very peaceful but only for those vehicles that can take such an extended dirt road excursion. If you want to experience the wild of Colorado... this is a good fit. ##### Nate S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tricia F. Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Foster Family Colorado vacation 2023 (7/23-7/28) This was our 3rd time staying at the cabin and one room Sanborn School house. We stayed 5 nights/4days. It’s always a pleasure. Wonderful sights and sounds of Colorado. Far enough away from civilization but yet a short drive down the mountain to many surrounding towns with breathtaking views. Both dwellings were clean and was perfect for the 6 of us (4 adults and 2 kids (17 and 14). The 2 small refrigerators worked great to keep our food cold and we use a cooler for drinks that didn’t fit in the fridge. We made many meals on the small cooktop stove. Shower and bathroom worked great. The kids played games out side. We came to stay for a couple reasons. 1. We absolutely love this place and 2. Four of us were training for the Pikes Peak Ultra on 7/29/23. So we use the altitude and miles of roads to do our running/training. Then did sightseeing at Telluride, Ouray, Ridgeway and Norwood. The sunrises and sunsets are absolutely beautiful. As well as the Mountain Views. We highly recommend this place and will be back again and again. ##### Tricia F. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chandra K., Kaysville, Utah Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location #### Bring toilet paper! Cons: my daughters and I arrived late in the evening after driving the hour away from civilization to discover there was NO toilet paper. Every VRBO I’ve ever stayed at has provided at least half a roll. We were forced to use coffee filters until visiting telluride the following day. A mouse lives under the couch in the kitchenette/bathroom cabin. Although understandable, wilderness and all, it made for an unpleasant, persistent smell. All the screens in the schoolhouse (sleeping cabin) are torn. I wised to allow some fresh mountain air into the school house, but again, wilderness (bugs); my girls requested vehemently I not do this. The listing says 4 wheel drive is not required. After driving for a bit in 2WD I switched to 4WD. Particularly for the drive to Telluride, which is switchback after switchback on a gravel dirt road with mountain on one side and shear death on the other; I was VERY happy to have 4WD! No wifi: in the theory, nice when you want to get away, but in practice, a person who doesn’t naturally have a good sense of direction needs GPS. The beds: the two twins in the school house were fairly comfortable; everything else is just springs. Even the fold out couch in the other cabin, where the mouse lives, is only springs surrounded by some fabric. Pros: it is serene and peaceful in a remote, unique location. THE NIGHT SKY!! We saw deer grazing in the yard. It was a great place to connect with my children without electronics. The kitchen is nicely stocked. ##### Chandra K.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle - this is a perfect place to do it. The school house and cabin sit on a large mesa a 45 minute drive from Montrose, while the small town of Norwood lies about 35 mins away on the other side of the valley. So the only people you’re likely to encounter nearby are local farmers/ranchers and Ella herself! We were amazed when we arrived at how quiet it was. The sound of the wind in the trees, birds and occasionally coyotes barking at night are as noisy as it gets. The cabin contains a bathroom with shower that provides plenty of hot water and a dining space/kitchenette with two mini fridges, a two-ring stove top and a microwave, toaster, coffee machine. There is a charcoal grill outside with briquettes provided, so this is a couple steps above camping. Kids have plenty of space to run around and explore, there are a couple of nearby ponds (although no fish in them on our visit) that are a short walk or bike ride away. We hooked our hammock between two ponderosas and happily spent hours chilling and reading. We stayed for five nights and worked in one trip to Norwood (good supermarket, couple of dining options, tourist info - get maps here, gas station, slightly scary drive) and a couple trips to Montrose (Museum of the Mountain West- amazing, plenty of antique and gift stores, dining) and that kept us busy enough between all the relaxing.! The 1922 schoolhouse itself has a wonderful history, and the interior is larger than it looks in the photos. It’s a fun place to wake up in! Ella is a kind and gracious host, she’ll make plenty of suggestions for places to go and things to do. Try to obtain a map if you’re the kind of person who likes to be oriented as your phone/GPS coverage will be patchy! There are a number of trails off of Dave Wood road in the forest. Try the one called Dave Wood Interpretive trail for a simple family-oriented outing as a starter. Great time, great place. Thanks Ella! David, Karen and Max ##### d m.
