Helena House Summary

Built in 1885, Helena’s Little Mansion has a proud and storied history. The showcase of our home is a beautiful wooden staircase featuring some of the most beautiful oak woodwork in Helena, Montana. Our home had five bedrooms; the smallest of which has been converted to an exercise room/office. The other four bedrooms, which will sleep 10 very comfortably, all feature custom interiors that make each one unique, and large windows to view the stunning mountain surroundings. This outstanding home has a sophisticated feeling with many cozy corners and nooks – one of which has an enticing gas fireplace. The comfortable interior is spacious yet intimate. All the home’s amenities such as televisions and DVD players in most bedrooms, king-sized beds, full kitchen with modern appliances, washer and dryer, a beautiful dining room for entertaining and a covered patio with barbecue grill are all complemented by the large, well-maintained yard. Minutes from shopping, recreation..

Tucked along the crooked path where Last Chance Stream once meandered, Helena is the town that gold built, an honor no other modern Montana city can claim. While other gold camps boomed and dwindled into ghost towns, veins of yellow metal transformed remote Last Chance Gulch into Montana’s golden capital. The “Queen City of the Rockies” lives up to its nickname. Helena’s nineteenth century architecture dazzles, its gold rush history compels, and its arts and culture reflect a richly talented community. Helena’s cosmopolitan lifestyle and recreational kaleidoscope speak to the spirit that is still the heart of the West. Major attractions include Canyon Ferry Lake (20 min.), Great Divide Ski Resort (30 min.), historic Helena downtown district and shopping (5 min.), museums (5 min.), fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, the Lewis and Clark Headwaters of the Missouri River and, of course, the Montana Capitol Building (5 min.). Please ask for a list of seasonal events.
