About this house rental
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.

With the pictures of the property we were expecting great things. If possible, the pictures don't do the property justice. We spent way more time on the site than expected somewhat because we figured we wouldn't see anything more beautiful than what we were seeing from the deck. Kitchen is well stocked and many nice touches throughout the home. Highly recommend.

The place was truly amazing, clean and private.Our family had a blast you can stay busy all day on the water or relax on the beautiful deck looking over the water.

I have been a VRBO renter for 20 years and I prefer to rent homes that are run by the owners (not management companies) who are also nearby. Liz and Kyle's cabin fit the bill. The site is beautiful and the outdoor deck, more like a living room (!) is fantastic. The cabin is updated with new bathrooms and nice, beachy, feminine decor. The kitchen is older but functional and the washer and dryer are stackables that work great.The cabin is on a septic system; the owners do not impose restriction for waste processes (I have stayed in cabins where we learned we may not use TP until after our arrival.) However, you should be careful with the sink disposer and I will know better next time I rent this house. Water is sourced from the lake, so the owners provide large water bottles in a dispenser for drinking and cooking.The cabin has a large functional (and vented) fireplace and heat is provided by baseboards units. Air conditioning is provided by loud in-bedroom units, and there is no cross ventilation in the two downstairs bedrooms, which is a disappointment when living in Montana. The upstairs is NOT full height in the hallways (5.5ft) and the doorways into the two upstairs bedrooms are only about 5' tall. With a spiral staircase going up. So this cabin isn't suitable for 3 or 4 adult couples - it is better for two couples and kids in the upstairs.Working From Home (WFH) is a little tough in this house. Internet is satellite, not cable, with 30Mbs down but only 3Mbs up, which makes file uploads and zooming and internet calls difficult. Cell calls are pretty good out in the yard facing the lake. We will return, however, but by then we will hopefully have Spacex internet that we can bring with us (or the owners can install.)Liz and Kyle are responsive hosts and they checked in with us from time to time if we weren't asking for something. (We had a big weather change and they wanted to make sure that we knew how to operate the heat.) We wanted to recycle when we could and they took our recycling to the recycling center in town rather than us having to do it.Liz and Kyle provide great bath and beach towels and lots of toys and kayaks and life vests and oars for the lake. Hammock, chair swing and a fire pit, too. Bruce, the next door neighbor, is super sweet. Pretty green grass and landscaping around the house, too.We have needed a new base in Helena because we travel here often. We are looking forward to returning.
