Sabrina Schoolie
NOTICE: This location is right along Highway 20 and is located right next to the Shell gas station in Marblemount so it gets very loud during busy times. This location is not private at all; it is more like a primitive hostel style schoolie.

More info:
Sabrina Schoolie features rustic improvements to its original 2001 Bluebird TC2000 layout including vinyl flooring, aqua colored curtains, sleeping platform, and simple table.
Sabrina is nestled at our caboose property located at 60076 State Route 20, in Marblemount, WA. This is a “hostel style” accommodation, where common areas include access to our Cascade Caboose featuring simple kitchen and bathroom. Porta-Potty is outside.
There is no running water or bathrooms in the schoolie.
History:
Prior to being a Skagit Schoolie, Sabrina worked hard as a public school bus in the PNW, transporting happy go lucky kids to and from school. After a career shift, Sabrina spent 3 years working for To the Mountain Shuttle company, where she transported skiiers and snowboarders to Snoqualmie Pass. While she was on the way to the North Cascades her muffler fell off, so she struggles with mobility now, but she’s totally okay with that because she has a really cool spot at the caboose near the trees, which is perfect for her.

Things to be aware of
VERY NOISY!!! (located along Highway 20 right next to the Shell gas station, don’t stay here unless you can tolerate the occasional pack of Harley’s revving their engines at 8am or a local kid coming to blast their stereo at midnight).
Not much privacy; while the schoolie itself is fairly private and no one can see inside, the property is more like a hostel where climbers, bikers, professional guides, and travelers frequent the area and stay on our caboose property. The common areas can become crowded, and that’s just how we like it! Don’t stay here if you are looking to “get away”. This is a rustic, simple accommodation plan that puts you right in the middle of the town of Marblemount, and puts you in a great position to remain connected to civilisation, while giving you close access to the North Cascades.
