Nestled among beautiful vistas of Colorado’s most scenic byways, you can almost hear the bell of this historic schoolhouse calling children to a new day of learning. Today, visitors from across the country and around the world are called to a new purpose of exploration, adventure, relaxation and self reflection.

Built in 1914, The Old School Lodge in Montrose, Colorado, was operated as a public school until 1986. Today, the renovated lodge located on 2.3 acres, is home to the ultimate vacation destination. The schoolhouse themed home features ten large bedrooms, eight with full baths, and one master suite with two rooms and a shared bath. The lodge features 12-foot ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, with easy access to laundry and a picnic area.

Step into the spacious great room, featuring a gas fireplace and wet bar. The new and fully equipped commercial kitchen provides everything necessary to meet any culinary challenge. The dining area is arranged for comfort, but can be adapted to accommodate family gatherings, retreats or business events. The original boys and girls bathrooms have been remodeled for visitors and guests.

FREE high-speed Wi-Fi and flat screen televisions are available in every room, but nothing is more captivating than what’s waiting for you outside the door. The Old School Lodge is located in the scenic Uncompahgre River Valley. Discover the beauty and natural wonders of Black Canyon National Park, Grand Mesa, the San Juan Mountains and the Uncompahgre Plateau.

Fun and adventure abound every season. Take in the view or hit the trail. Go sightseeing, white water rafting, rock climbing, fly fishing, hunting, golfing, boating, hiking, biking, skiing or snowboarding. Enjoy shopping, a guided Jeep tour or refine your photography skills in nature.

The historic classrooms may no longer welcome students, but this wondrous destination still offers much to experience, learn and enjoy. Answer the bell by planning your next family vacation, retreat, business meeting or destination event at The Old School Lodge.

    A large group of women hikers gathered and this was our base. We loved the facility with it’s comfortable beds, private rooms, industrial kitchen, and deep shaded porches. We highly recommend this property which was clean and is managed by a very responsive property manager

    The Old School House provided the perfect venue for our group of golf friends. Everyone had their own private bedroom and bath. The common area was a generous space for all to relax and share meals without feeling crowded. And the historic ambience was an added bonus. What a gem in Montrose.

    We loved our time at the Old School Lodge! It was perfect for ten childhood friends having a reunion. The rooms were very comfortable and the gathering area is huge!

    We had family coming from 3 different states for our sons wedding. The house was just perfect for us and everything is so nice and comfortable. It’s great that even has their own private bathroom too. We were not disappointed at all with this unique school house rental

    This rental worked well for our group which was mostly 4 wheel drive enthusiasts. Trails as close as 20 minutes from the house on the plateau west of HWY 550. Silverton is about an hour’s drive. Plenty of parking for tow rigs and trailers on the property. Only downfall no AC, but we brought along a box fan to put in the window at night.....worked well with the ceiling fan. It actually wasn’t bad during the day as long as windows and shades were closed early. With 90+ degrees during the day and coming from a person who doesn’t do heat well, it was surprisingly comfortable/tolerable without AC.
