Helena, Montana
Relax and unwind at this gorgeous lakefront home. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Helena, Heron House is the perfect getaway for couples and families. Nestled amongst the boulders on the west shore of the lake, the house and deck offer breathtaking views, peace and tranquillity. The home was completely remodeled in 2016 offering all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. A secluded bay with large dock awaits for boating, swimming, fishing or kayaking. Recreational activities abound; paddle to Cemetery Island for a picnic and geocaching or Orchard Beach for swimming and catching minnows, catch a fish and barbeque it for dinner, relax on the deck with a good book and a cup of coffee or take a nap in the hammock. Horseriding, hiking, world class mountain biking all close by. Several great restaurants, cafes, microbrew pubs, museums, galleries and great local farmers market available in Helena. For children don't miss Exploration Works museum, the Great Northern Carousel or a traditional wagon ride dinner at the Last Chance Ranch. Canyon Ferry Lake is conveniently located between both Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Property is a fabulous place for children over age 4 to explore but not really suitable for toddlers.
The house was very clean and had all the basic necessities such as coffee pot and pots and pans etc. The view of the lake is perfect and so relaxing. Lots of lake toys to choose from and a place to dock your own boat. The family enjoys it every time we come and can’t wait to come back again.
The house is wonderful and had everything we needed for a long weekend. Outdoor area is beautiful and the water toys were particularly fun! Hosts were VERY easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again!
The views from every bedroom are incredible, it's stocked with everything needed and we'll definitely be back when we're nearby! ☆☆☆☆☆
We brought our adult children with us on a 25th Anniversary trip and everything was perfect! We played in the lake, caught some really nice trout, ate yummy food, watched movies, read books, did half a puzzle and slept in. It was wonderful! The house is exactly as described and the communication with the owners was great! Thank you for the memories!!!
Nice house. Thought it seemed small at first but we had good room for five adults and three toddlers. Great deck out on the rock. House was good for meals and after dinner relaxing. Boat dock and separate rock area at the water were both nice after getting accustomed to the access trail. Will stay again!
Stayed for 5 nights, great set up for having 2 families enjoy a vacation together. Really enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake and being able to use the kayaks to explore the area. The house had everything we needed, appreciated the well stocked kitchen and use of the outside grill. Highly recommend!
It was a beautiful house and beautiful scenery! Super easy check in and check out. The owners were also super helpful and friendly! We will be back for sure.
Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay! The home is spacious and comfy. The views are spectacular. Our family kayaked to the island and enjoyed the second plank to sit on the rocks too. The deck is better than the pictures! The hikes near York were our favorite. We would definitely recommend and/or return!
An absolutely beautiful place to relax. The home is well described, but the views must be experienced! The home was well prepared for our stay and owners are great to work with. The drive from Helena is simple. The lake sunrise was amazing with birdsong and we enjoyed walking to several parks and beaches nearby.
Awesome place directly on the water, with amazing deck overlooking the water. And functionable dock to pull up your boat (we had a rental from marina across the lake). Very clean and comfortable place --kids loved the upstairs kids bedrooms. and adults very happy to sit outside and enjoy the nature and views. Owners were super -- loved the stay.
Communication could not have been better, all my questions were answered before I made the reservation, during our trip planning and at time of arrival. The home is as described and offered a perfect weekend escape for my family. We especially loved the deck as it felt like we were high in the trees overlooking the lake and boating activity. Although there are nearby neighbors privacy was not an issue. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Wonderful place and views.
Loved are stay! All around great property! Loved the deck to hang out on. Boat dock with kayaks. The bathrooms were all updated. A/C in every room. We loved it! Great setup. Just put on your bug spray if your outside in the summer!
Would definitely rent again
This was a great spot for my family and friends. The house is set up perfectly and feels welcoming. The deck was fantastic and we had quick access down to the dock. The owners were very responsive when we had an a/c issue and repaired the issue the same day. We’re hoping to stay again next year!
Very nice place with plenty of room to relax.
We had a wonderful time here! Loved the lake access and the view was so beautiful. We also really appreciated all the games and kids' books and toys.
This was a beautiful property and home. There were 5 adults, 1 teen, and 3 dogs. The home is beautiful, well maintained, and has a stunning view of the lake and sunrise. Unfortunately we were here during a cold time and were unable to experience all that lake life has to offer. I guess that means we’ll just have to come back when it’s warmer.
