Take a 5-minute ride to beautiful Canyon Ferry Lake, Montana’s third largest body of water, where you can boat, swim, fish or stroll along part of its 76-miles of shoreline. The Great Divide Ski Area is only 50 minutes away. Or take the easy 20-minute drive to downtown Montana’s capital city, Helena, where you can shop, dine, or explore historic Reeder’s Alley. If you enjoy fine arts Helena boasts the Helena Symphony, the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts, the Grand Street Theatre, The Myrna Loy Center for the Performing and Visual Arts, the Holter Museum of Art, and the Montana Historical Society Museum.

Perfect location as a basecamp for a Helena wedding. Enjoyed burgers on the deck with a view that made me want to stay. The host quickly and appropriately addressed a couple of things that came up. I would love to stay there again sometime and would recommend it to others.

Beautiful place with amazing views. We had a great time even though the fishing could have been better. Guess that's why they don't call it "catching." Great accommodations with incredible sunsets. Highly recommend staying here.
