About this house rental
EVENTS ARE ALLOWED BUT MUST BE DISCUSSED BEFOREHAND. "EVENTS" FROM 20-50 PEOPLE ARE DOUBLE THE PRICE, 1000 PER NIGHT, 500 CLEANING.
The old Upper Chetco School is now open as a rustic getaway for families, fishermen, hikers, bikers, swimmers and people who love the Chetco River! Short miles to Riverside Market going back to town or Loeb Park heading up river. As only locals know Brookings is home to the beautiful banana belt which comes with a marine layer frequent in the summer. Just above the fog line, enjoy a short trip to the ocean for the day and then retreat to sunshine and a swim in the river at Loeb Park or one of the many river bars on the Chetco.
The South Wing consists of two large "schoolrooms." One with a modest kitchen and open living room. The living room has two couches and a futon that can be used as a bed. The second houses the library books from the school along with 3 queen sized beds. The large bathroom has an overhead shower and roomy stall area.
The North wing is more cozy and not as bright. Has a cabin feel with the one "schoolroom" equipped with a king and a queen bed in the same large studio room as kitchen and living room area. The bathroom is the mirror of the South wing bathroom with overhead shower and floor drain. Two very small "office" rooms are off the hallway. One room has a single twin and the next has a single bed with trundle. These rooms lead into the laundry room for the entire rental. The third small half bathroom is sandwiched between the gym and game room and labeled "outhouse."
Converted from school rooms, this rental is unique and unconventional. Some of the perks include a playground and gym at your doorstep, an outdoor shower, a game room with pool, ping pong, air hockey, and foosball table, a large stone fire pit, an outdoor basketball court, a library with hundreds of interesting reads, and spacious rooms. Surrounded by horse pastures we have a large parking area and are fully wheelchair accessible. Enjoy the Upper Chetco ideally located at the gateway to the Upper Chetco River and the Kalmiopis Wilderness area.

Erin is an amazing host. Had a large family gathering here and there is tons of room and fun to be had. We’ve now come two years in a row and had a fantastic experience both times. Highly recommend!

Our family had a blast. From pickleball to Jerry’s Jet Boat Ride to horse back riding or hanging out in the Game Room plus campfire with s’mores. We had a ball and the old school is delightful. The beds were fantastic plus two kitchens. Oh My we had a phenomenal time

We had an amazing stay at the schoolhouse! It was perfect for our crew of 18 to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday! The house and property are so clean and comfortable. The highlight for us was the game room with all the table games and we also loved the gym for some late night basketball games :)
The outdoor shower was a nice bonus!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful schoolhouse with us.

I had a few of my wifes close girlfriends come up and suprise her on Friday night, they chilled made margaritas, brought up some mexican food from LaFlor DeMexico (excellent local restaurant) to keep things simple, even though they have two FULLY stocked, fully functional kitchens with everything you could ever need!..They all had an amazing time playing games and watching movies (solid movie selection) Saturday we had a BBQ and few more friends came up and celebrated with us. The beds and bedding were actually very comfortable, and our friends even commented on it. Surprising, as every other VRBO we've stayed at had horribly uncomfortable beds. So another +1 for this place! Its close to town, enough stuff to keep you entertained, lots of different styles of art all throughout the place and just a comfortable property. Thank you for having us, we will be back!!!

We had a great get together with multiple families and kids of various ages. The kids had so much fun in the game room, gym, and playground. The nearby park at the river was a refreshing way to spend the afternoons. Thank you for sharing this amazing property with us! We definitely want to come again.

So much fun to stay here. We had a large family gathering for my dads 75th birthday. Tons of fun things to do onsite. Everything well stocked. Clean. Plenty of room for everyone to hang out. A very unique and memorable place to stay, and would definitely stay here again!

This was a great place to stay. It was spacious, well located close to Redwoods and beaches. We had fun hiking and then coming back to the house and just hanging out. The game room and gym were a big hit. The littles in our group loved the play ground. This is a great location and bonus if the weather isn’t good during your stay the house has enough to keep everyone entertained. My kids say we needed a few more days just so we could hang out at the property and have a game tournament.

This place was exactly as advertised. It was a nice getaway from the rain and provided plenty of space to let the Littles get their wiggles out. The Christmas decorations were such a special touch and made our entire family’s stay magical.

When I first read all the reviews and they were ALL positive, I thought no way can a property have not one negative thing about it, so I was skeptical about renting it. Well I was.... SO WRONG. This rental is beyond spectacular. The pictures on the site, does not give it justice. Our first impression of the kitchen in the picture was dark, maybe dirty and being an old school, maybe smelled bad. AGAINNNNN.....WRONG. The kitchen and entire schoolhouse is very clean, greatly decorated with fantastic conversation pieces. The beds were amazing. And most importantly SO MUCH FUN. We used the gym for a catering dinner and used the playroom to it's fullest.
The schoolhouse has everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you possibly need, But one thing.....A pitcher. If you want to make tea or Mimosa's like we wanted, there was not a pitcher to make it in. No big deal, we just mixed it in a bowl and ladled it in the glasses. But we were surprised there wasn't one there since it definitely had everything else. We had such a great time and staying here you will not be disappointed. + The Pace Girls

Quiet and wonderful views for a family getaway.
Tons of fun activities for adults and kids of different ages ranging from 6 to 15. We were all able to relax in the comfort of this unique home and all were able to engage in fun active games as well. Look forward to coming again next year
Thanks

Awesome place for a family vacation!
We spent Labor Day weekend with four teenage boys here. They lived in the playroom and gym. We had s’mores in the outside fire pit, visited the Redwoods (40 min south), took in the views of the Samual Boardman Corridor, and got soaked on the Rogue River jet boats (40 min north). Would love to revisit when we are able! Thank you for sharing your unique, fun property with us!

The school and property are amazing. We had a couple two year olds, one- three year old, one- four year old and one- eight year old. The gym and game room got the most use. The playground was a close second. We never had to turn on the TV and the grandkids never asked for their electronic pacifiers!! When their heads hit the pillow, they were out! Furnishings were terrific and the outdoor shower was a huge hit. Indoor his and hers restrooms scored big points with the group. We never ran out of hot water!!!We loved our stay and Erin is a great, responsive host!Thank you very much!!

Fun and space for everyone
This quirky whimsical space has something for everyone in my family. We took our kids and grandkids here for New years. I had packed lots of extra things to keep everyone entertained for the week. I needn't have. There was everything from crayons and coloring books to billiards and basketball. Even the kitchen was stocked with all of the little things you might have forgotten.

Thanks Erin, we’ll definitely stay there again. Talked about staying in winter and cranking the fire
Can’t complain. 2 weeks would’ve been nice. Lots to do. Close to river floats, beach, market, and Restaurants yet out in the country. It’s so nice to have your own sanctuary.

School House
This is a return visit, we noticed some improvements since last time. Everything was excellent, as before. We had a great time & will return again next year. It it perfect for us, We had family staying in local RV park & they would come spend day with us, let their little ones enjoy the playground, gym & game room & return to park. We would like to know more history about the school house Thank you Erin for letting us enjoy the school house. We hope to meet you one day

We had such a great stay at the school house! Will definitely be back.
What a fun, quirky space! We rented one wing of the school house, and next time will definitely rent the whole listing. I obviously should have read the listing more thoroughly, because I didn't realize that all of the beds were located in one room. We made it work though, by setting up one of the beds in the living room for a little more privacy. The game room is SO MUCH FUN and we enjoyed some late night pool and air hockey, as well as basketball and hula hooping. The fire pit is awesome, and the views of the stars are incredible! The horses were friendly which my kids loved. Despite being close to the road, the house seemed peaceful and was a nice break from the windy beach, and we also enjoyed the afternoon at the river one of the days. Loved all the cool features of the house, and can't wait to come back and enjoy it again.

Beyond Thrilled
I have stayed in a handful of properties with different organizations and I can honestly say, this was my favorite. The space provided the perfect atmosphere for our retreat, and the service from the beginning was above and beyond. Erin was so helpful and made sure the property was ready when we arrived. This is an annual event for my work and we will definitely be using this location again. Thank you Erin!!

Our family trip to school
Your school house is fantastic! I took my kids, my grandkid do, and great grandkids, to celebrate the end of my cancer treatment. The little ones had so much fun with all the room to run and play. We had basketball, four square, and hula hoop competitions. Everyone had such a good time, they all want to go back. Thank you so much for the chance to have this experience.

Return Visit!
After staying here in March of 2018 it was chosen again for our annual family trip. With 9 adults and 5 children it has something for everyone! Having the gym and game room on a very rainy day adds so much fun you really aren't concerned what the weather might be like on your visit. It is very well stocked and we love that they have left the authenticity of the school. It is quirky and that is what makes it so delightful to stay in. We were fortunate enough to meet the owners as we were leaving. They were very kind and gracious . I can't say enough except thank you for sharing your school with us. (And adding the heating units was awesome!)

2nd Annual Banana Belt Softball Weekend and our 2 time at the Schoolhouse,again memories made.
This year again was fantastic, at 1st we were unsure of getting over Hayes Hill,becuz of the weather,but we made it
Arriving Fri,having family team dinner using the gym & game room a experience in itself, just a great memory. Sat night was the "MERICA" party which was a huge success, after winning both our games,came back to a warm cozy house, again team dinner then festivities for all. Dodgeball,kickball,basketball,pool & ping-pong tournaments. Then Sunday after winning the Championship game, the weather allowed us play wiffleball in the field and a bonfire out in the firepit to capture the full moon. Monday when we left we were able to head to the beach with sun on our faces and the ocean at our feet. The Rebel Softball Team await next year for our return.
Thanks ,Erin for a great time.
Until next February

Unique property ideal for families and small groups. School facilites provide good family activity.
Clean and well decorated throughout. Well stocked with pots, pans, furnishings, firwwood, dishes and linens. Very close to Chetco River access. Not far from Brookings, but still out in the country. This was my second visit. The premisis is constantly being improved year to year.
