Absolutely adorable...very comfortable VRBO. Bright, cool (temperature), and comfortable. Being in the heart of oldtown Helena made for easy walks/hikes - minutes from the Fire Tower and 360* views of the mountains and valley surrounding town. Thank you for making us feel welcome.
The rental was charming, in a great location, had easy parking, was well supplied, and was convenient to nearby hangout spots. Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. We could hear nearly everything from the upstairs unit, including the tenant and their dog, which disrupted the quiet. The tenant wasnât noisy, but we could hear the dog playing, the water running, and every footstep.Additionally, communication with the host could have been better. We had to reach out twice to get basic check-in information that shouldâve been provided automatically. Not something we wanted to stress about as we were trying to wrap things up and head out on vacation. The host has great reviews, so I assume this was just a fluke.
I felt the description of the property was misleading. The VRBO indicates âentire houseâ, yet when we check in we find out there is a long term tenant living above. Basically this is a downstairs apartment. The dryer, located behind a locked door in the living room was running when we arrived. Then we see that there is another person living in the upstairs. You could hear the walking and things rattling overhead. When there was a lot of water flushed, maybe a toilet flush, it sounded like a rush of water in the living room ceiling. The place was nicely decorated, beds were comfy, and it was clean. Itâs just not a place for me.
Loved our stay at this cute little house. Had everything we needed, the beds were super comfy, and the property was very clean. Easy walking distance to all of the sights in central Helena. Fenced yard for our dog was a bonus! Would stay again!
We went to Helena a week before our daughter's wedding and this sweet rental was perfect for our family. We loved walking to downtown, hiking and visiting the local brewpubs and restaurants. We slept well, the beds were cozy. Thank you so much!
Convenient location to walking trails and downtown. Property was clean and charming. Checking in and out was easy. Communication with management was superb. We will definitely stay here again!!
I really enjoyed staying again in this historic neighborhood near downtown!
The property has been nicely updated and was very comfortable, clean and cozy for our stay. There was everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals.
The mattresses and bedding were great, so we slept well.
Even with some snowy weather, it was easy to stay warm as the building is well insulated.
This was my second stay here, and I would definitely stay here again next visit as I have family in the area.
It's a wonderful base, and has some good memories.
My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were accommodating and flexible. The apartment was clean and pleasant, and I loved looking at Breenaâs beautiful ceramic pieces. The location is wonderful. We enjoyed the charming ambiance of the old historic mining neighborhood and I had the most pleasant walk through the neighborhood and nearby trails in a beautiful snow storm. I would love to come back in the spring or summer when all of their flowers are in bloom.
Great location, walking distance to multiple trails. Also close to downtown, restaurants, and shops. Cute neighborhood. Nice comfortable place with yard access as well.
Communication with/from hosts was excellent. Home was clean and cozy and stocked with all of the essentials + more. Location perfect for access to downtown/hiking trails. Only took a star off because it wasnât clear in the listing that there was an upstairs renter⊠Not a huge deal but we are light sleepers and were woken up a few times when someone walked around above us. Only other issue was the bed was SUPER loud when one of us rolled over so we kept waking each other up. Maybe not an issue for most peopleâŠ. As I said, we are light sleepers so just something to note if you are too. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again!!!
Lovely space and within walking distance of downtown
The space was very nice, comfortable, and clean. I enjoyed being within walking distance of downtown and right next to trail systems up into the hill. I would definitely recommend this property.
This property was excellent!! The trail to Mt Ascension is right out the back door! So fun. And lots of historic homes in the neighborhood you can learn about if you go for a walk. The owners are super to communicate with and available if you need anything. We had a great time! Plenty of room for this family of 5.
Charming downstairs apartment near Trails and Old Town
Quiet neighborhood on the edge of town. Walk to plethora of hiking and biking trails and saunter through Old Town Helena the other direction. Nice little yard for our dog. Everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Easy communication with the owners.
The surrounding trails and close proximity to downtown could not have been better. This property is in a well kept and charming area. Very much enjoyed my stay.
I have family in Helena and visit often. I've rented various places through VRBO and I have to say that this is one of my favorites. The apartment was comfortable, clean and thoughtfully stocked (thanks for the Q-tips and Kleenex). Perhaps the best part is the neighborhood. This apartment is located on a street that is really a paved alley. The older homes are squeezed in together in every possible way. They are in all stages of repair and everyone has a project--clearly labors of love for the residents to keep up these old places. It was very very early spring, but I could tell that most places had gardens tucked in whatever space was available. It was extremely quiet--little traffic from residents only and not so much as a dog bark (and I had a dog with me). It is just a couple blocks from Helena's fantastic south hill trail system. You could walk downtown for dinner (all down hill), but have that extra glass of wine and dessert as the walk back will burn some calories;)
