This was the perfect spot to land for a visit to Helena. It was a quiet area, with beautiful views and just a 20 minute drive to the main city of Helena. The space was extremely clean, and Kathi was very accommodating. It was great getting to chat with her during my first night in over dinner at a nearby restaurant. Oreo, her rescue kitty, was adorable! What a great spot to stay!

Quiet and Serene

Kathi is amazing, make sure you get introduced to Oreo. King size bed was comfortable. Close enough to Helena, but just far enough to unwind at the end of the day with a lake view.

More than expected.

Kathy's room with a view is great! The space is extremely well done, very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed waking up to overlooking the lake while sitting on the porch. Kathy is a great host, and exceeded our expectations of our stay as she took us for a boat ride to revisit some memories my husband had as a child. Kathy's house is about 20 minutes to Helena so you have the conveniences of the city with being removed which we prefer. You must take the short drive to York to have a great hamburger in an eclectic bar. We would and will definitely stay here again

Very Nice!

This is a clean, airy, mother-in-law's suite with one large room, a bathroom, and a nice walk in closet. The only thing that I noted as lacking is the fact that there was no Wi-Fi and given its location in the valley, cell signal is not strong enough for hot-spot usage. If you are just looking for a place to sleep at night, this is a great spot, if you are hoping to get work done online, this might not be the best spot for you. I would absolutely stay again.

Perfect

I highly recommend! My best friend and I visited the area to go mining for a couple days. We wish we would have had enough energy to stay awake at night to enjoy the deck more, but we did enjoy our time talking to Kathi in the mornings before we headed out for the day. If you want to take a swim, there's a great little beach across the street that you can walk down to... Just make sure to have swim shoes, as the rock is pretty rough to walk on. The closest place to eat is less than a minute from here and the bacon jam burger was to die for! Kathi's place is very clean and comfortable. Honestly couldn't have picked a better place. We will 100% be back!!

Thank you for your great review. It was interesting learning about the sapphire mining you do. It's also fun to know that you've done some paleontology digs in Montana.

Highly recommend

Kathi’s place is ideal for a truly private room stay. The room access and parking is perfect, as it is located near the end of the wrap around deck, and parking is mere feet from the door. Kathi is very hospitable and loves to visit but is also very respectful of her guests privacy. We had a nice chat on her welcoming deck over drinks and she gave us a little tour of her beautiful home. The room was spotless, nicely decorated and the bed was SUPER comfortable. I also particularly loved the shower! She encouraged us to enjoy her deck, and we sure did. One evening, my husband and I sat on the couch and enjoyed the view of the lake and night sky and the hooting owls, all while staying cozy under her electric blanket. I also enjoyed spending some time with her sweet, friendly cat.
