Rock Creek Schoolhouse - Historic Charm! 5 Bdrm, Ski Lodging

They say that one day in the country is worth a month in town. This home is worth all of that and more! The Rock Creek Schoolhouse is nestled close to the base of the Elkhorn Mountains just outside Haines, OR and half-way between Baker City and Anthony Lakes Resort.

This home was originally a country schoolhouse. Tragically, a fire burnt it to the ground and It was later rebuilt in the image of the historic schoolhouse and remains a cherished piece of Baker County history.

Escape to the enchanting allure of the countryside with a stay at the renovated Rock Creek Schoolhouse, beautifully nestled at the foot of the majestic Elkhorn Mountains. A historical symbol of Baker County, this home delights with its unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts.

Discover this expansive gem just 15 minutes from Baker City and barely 3 minutes from idyllic town of Haines. Boasting three suites, an additional bedroom, a stocked office, and large enough to comfortably accommodate 16+ guests, this home is a perfect for unforgettable gatherings.

Culinary enthusiasts will love the generous kitchen, featuring a formal dining area, a large island for added seating, and two ovens to efficiently cater for large groups.

Immerse yourself in the warmth of the stately living room, crackling with a wood-burning brick fireplace and flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows embracing scenic views. The meticulous craftsmanship is manifested in the exquisite hand-finished woodwork, adding an inimitable charm to this beloved heritage home.

Experience tranquility in its purest form on the serene back deck, treated to an awe-inspiring panorama of the magnificent Elkhorn mountains and lush Baker valleys.

For adventure enthusiasts, seize the opportunity to ski down the slopes of Anthony Lakes, or venture into mountain biking in the summer, with the resort barely 30 minutes away.

Dwelling within the alluring Rock Creek area, anticipate complete privacy and ceaseless tranquility amidst the surrounding ranches and pastures. Amenities are minutes away in Haines, which hosts a handy general store, a welcoming brew-pub, and a delightful steakhouse.

Perfect family spot!
This was our 2nd New Year's stay with our sons, daughters-in-law and granddaughter. The property is wonderful with plenty of room for all of us, and the location is beautiful and secluded while still being close to Haines and Baker City. We appreciated the discount for Anthony Lakes mountain tickets and the proximity to the resort, too. We will book again in the future!

Far above my expectations
We had a graduation party here. I live locally but needed a place for guest to stay overnight. The house is beautiful. They had more supply than I could have dreamed. I didnt need to bring half the stuff from hime that i did. The view....AMAZING!!! I got a picture of a gorgeous sunset over the mountains. I honestly can not say enough about this place.

Great spring visit
The house was great as it was big enough for the two families and our dogs. Wonderful to have a backyard for the dogs to play in, as well. Wonderful location for getting to Anthony Lakes, as well as into Baker City. We had a couple of issues/questions, but the property managers were extremely responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay there again!

Great Getaway Spot
The setting in the Baker valley between two beautiful mountain ranges is stunning, and the schoolhouse is such a unique property that the two together make for a wonderful getaway spot. A bonus is that it is only a 1/2 hour from Anthony Lakes Ski Area. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We especially appreciate that dogs are allowed and wood is provided for the huge fireplace. There are a few things that could use attention, like empty picture hooks on the walls, but those are minor. This is a great spot for relaxing! (The schoolhouse is on a country road about 15 minutes from Baker City.)

Wow! Beautiful and huge
A great space for a group or large family. Well appointed and beautifully remodeled. Way out of town in the middle of ranch land. Awesome country views. Great for privacy, and fairly close to Anthony Lakes skiing. Haines Steakhouse was a hoot and great food for meat eaters. Would love to come back.
