Excellent vacation stay. Such a convenient location. Very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. Great communication with Eliza. Loved enjoying coffee on the private patio where we could watch the wildlife. So much history to explore! Reeder’s Alley is a must see if you’re a history buff. The entire neighborhood is historical. We would definitely stay here again!

Cottage

There was a very well appointed kitchen with spices in the cabinet and salad dressings the fridge. Very much appreciated the ziploc bags that were available. We used the grill twice for burgers and brats. Very quiet location with an extremely comfy bed. Only issue was the 22 steps to get to the front door as I arrived in a wheelchair. Thanks, Eliza!

The Cottage at Bunkhouse Exceeded My Expectations

The perfect location to be apart of what is happening in downtown Helena. Super quiet, well maintained, and has a flair of its own that most places do not have. An absolutely perfect Vrbo for myself and I will book again for all future visits. The charm of the Cottage, along with the beauty of Helena and the people, has helped me fall in love with the area.Lastly, thank you to the property manager for the excellent communication, response time, and overall mamagement of the property. Quite the property that more people should enjoy!!!

The perfect spot

This place was a great find. Located just outside of West Helena, convenient to everything, yet very peaceful. Well appointed and so comfortable. Nice deck to relax and BBQ in the evening. Dog friendly with small enclosed area.

Perfectly cozy and quiet!

Such a cute place!! Very clean, super quiet, so cozy. We had 2 dogs with us so the fenced-in yard was wonderfully convenient. The kitchen had everything you'd ever need to cook anything. The only thing I had trouble with was the bed was a bit too soft for me, but my husband was okay with it. It's a great little vrbo!!

Highly recommend!

The little house was clean and decorated nicely. The bed great. It was handy to have a washer/dryer. I was traveling with my dog and was provided a whole basket of loaner toys and a crate so I could leave her contained when attending events of my trip. Eliza was super fast at responding to my needs and I felt welcome.

Perfect Visit to Hometown

We rented this truly exceptional cottage for three nights for business in my hometown of Helena where we no longer know anyone. I chose this historic brick home, up against the wooded hills at the mouth of Grizzly Gulch, for its nearness to old Downtown and to Reeder's Alley where my brother had an art studio ... long ago. It was a splendid choice: quiet, secure, pretty, in great repair, hung with nice art and big maps, a likeable kitchen stocked with staples and necessities; we filled the fridge, cooked most of our meals, did laundry, enjoyed Roku TV, slept well and stayed very comfy. Tip o' the hat to the fine hostess for such a tasteful place, we'll stay here again next visit too.

Peaceful and Convenient

We were in Helena an entire week for our dog’s National Specialty. This was sooo much better than any hotel. Out 2 dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and we enjoyed all the comforts of home. It was a short drive to the fairgrounds and not far from Hunt Tests. Added bonus, I don’t think anyone from the specialty was closer than us to the banquet at Grizzly Gardens. We took some time to enjoy the downtown area. It was amazing! Loved the food at Windbag Saloon and the Huckleberry ice cream at the Big Dipper. We drove down there but it is walkable. Host was extremely helpful and responded immediately to any questions. We didn’t know about the walking mall until she told us about it.

Super cute, great location, a few issues

The cottage bunkhouse is a funky, historical building just slightly off the beaten path. Nothing is far away from anything else in Helena, so it's location is perfect. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could want except a pizza cutter. My complaints were 1--the lock combo got me in, but then didn't work after that. However, I didn't feel unsafe due to location. 2--There were a smattering of worm-like creatures on the floors, walls, and ceilings. Grossed me out, but might not be a big deal to someone else. I still recommend!

Such a cozy charming cottage

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. I, my husband, and our 2 medium/large dogs stayed at Eliza’s cottage for a couple weeks in October. This place is such a treat, especially if you have dogs, with a fenced yard just big enough for our fur babies to have some space so never never felt too cooped up. The ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars for cleanliness is just to inform fellow prospective guests that the cottage is very old, and comes with a few old house issues, but they did not bother me at all. Eliza cleans the cottage thoroughly and I personally am impressed there are not more apparent challenges with such an old structure. On that topic, the age of the house is a huge part of why I found it so charming and cozy. It is located in/near the oldest part of Helena. The neighborhood is rich with history that you can enjoy as you make the short walk to old downtown or to nearby trails. Eliza was always communicative, friendly, and kind. She went above and beyond to be helpful. I can’t say enough good things about Eliza’s cottage. Don’t hesitate to book this stay, especially if you have dogs. :)
