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.

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.

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.

Pefect Helena Vacation Home

Charlie I. Portland, OR
Review Submitted: October 17, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
My girlfriend and I stayed here last month, and will certainly be making it our annual retreat.

Every last detail has been thought of with this home. As a business traveler, I was a bit skeptical about internet access in Montana, but I have to admit, my fears were unfounded.

Owner, Mary Smith was very accommodating of our special requests, and a great source of local knowledge.

Each of the rooms are perfectly appointed. The home is very clean. The kitchen is great too. We had a barbecue one night out on the patio... Such a refreshing change from eating out every night.

Nearby to downtown, so we took the Montana mansion tour - even saw the governor's old mansion. Canyon Ferry lake the next day was stunning as well. The Gates of the Mountains are a must see!

I would recommend this property to everyone.
