Welcome to Captain's Quarters, located at the north end of Canyon Ferry Lake in the Belt Mountains. It is a short walk to the lake where you can swim or fish.

Captain’s Quarter is an ideal “home away from home” built on the lower level of my 2-story home. The views are spectacular. The entire unit is well-thought-out and sqeaky clean. The modern kitchen is well-stocked with a variety of spices, staples & condiments. The beds are all custom made in Bozeman. Theback bedroom's two oversized twin beds can be converted into a comfy king-size bed. Smart TVs are provided in both the living room and the back bedroom. The expansive spa-like bathroom features double sinks, a spacious walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and plush towels. The outdoor patio has your own private hot tub, outdoor tables and chairs, a gas grill, and a Blackstone. There is a stackable washer/dryer. Laundry tablets, bleach, and dryer sheets are provided. 2 mini-split A/C units in the bedrooms keep the unit cool in the summer. A linear gas fireplace adds ambiance and warmth in the winter. There are beds for 2 couples or 2 adults & two kids. The sectional couch provides extra sleeping for one or two others. I also have a single blow-up bed; just ask.

If you need more space, I also have a studio unit with a private entrance and bath available on the second level: VRBO # 2179416.

Canyon Ferry is situated on the Missouri River amidst the Big and Little Belt Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains that extend from Mexico to Canada. Our area is rich in year-round outdoor activities, or you can venture into town to explore Helena's historic charm. This year, our Montana Heritage Center reopened after a 4-year renovation. Explore the places, people, and ideas that shaped our state from ancient times to the present. Admission is free.

    This was a beautiful location. The view every morning and evening was incredible. Absolutely stunning. Easy access, amazing and kind host, incredibly clean, and well stocked. Probably the best stocked and thoughtful stay we’ve had in a vacation rental. The beds were comfortable and there is a restaurant right down the road that’s excellent. Our host was so patient and understanding with our small kids (tend to be loud) and we truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

    My son and I spent Christmas at Kathi's Captain’s Quarters near Helena, and it was unforgettable. The view alone is worth the trip—this home isn’t just near the lake, it is on the lake. Waking up to sunrise over the water while sitting in the hot tub felt like a gift in itself.The cabin was spotless and stocked far beyond what we expected. Every detail felt thoughtful, from the kitchen supplies to the little conveniences that made our stay effortless. Kathi even decorated for Christmas, which made the space feel warm, festive, and welcoming the moment we walked in.The location is wonderfully quiet and peaceful. We loved relaxing by the fireplace, and we were delighted when deer wandered right up to the door. It felt like stepping into a winter postcard.Kathi was an exceptional host—responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making our stay special. She even watched our little dog, Mazy, so we could explore the area without worry. That level of care is rare and so appreciated.We will absolutely be returning again and again. The Captain’s Quarters has become one of our favorite places, and we can’t wait for our next stay.

    My wife and I enjoyed our stay during our visit to Helena. The host has done an amazing job stocking the property and we found it extremely comfortable. There is a fully stocked kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a family room with a couch, fireplace, and nice TV setup.

    Beautiful property! We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. Soft, thick towels and bedding. All you can do is stare at the lake. And we caught a couple of trout! Definitely will be back!

    It is a beautiful new space that is sparkling clean. She has everything you would ever need in there and more. She is available if needed, but also gives you space if you prefer. We will definitely stay here again when visiting family at the lake.

    The view and location are amazing. We loved watching the chipmunks, hummingbirds, and deer pass by and the marina was right across the street where we launched our boat. The host was kind and very accommodating to all of our needs! The apartment was beautiful, had everything we needed, and comfortably fit our family of 5.

    Perfect place for my wife and three adult daughters to stay while celebrating a college graduation. Kathi was great and her place was just as described with great views and amenities.
