About this property

Queen City Charmer

Fall in love with the character and charm of this centrally located, bright, historic building while enjoying recent updates and modern amenities that include a dishwasher, new countertops, fresh paint, updated furniture and new linens. The sofa sleeper and pocket doors into the living room serve as a private second bedroom. With a 50” TV and fireplace, this is our bedroom of choice! Off the main bedroom, you'll find a separate office space with a desk and door that can be closed for privacy.

Location is a half block from the popular Grateful Bread bakery and less than a half mile from downtown. The apartment is tastefully decorated and has high ceilings and original woodwork throughout. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes and spices. The bathroom is small but functional. This is a great hub for exploring all that Helena has to offer.

Pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Pre-approval is required. Please tell us a little bit about your pet in the request.

The apartment is well-situated for walking almost anywhere in Helena. We walked to the museums and to everything on Last Chance Gulch. We even walked to hikes twice. The neighborhood is quiet and full of beautiful homes. The rental is beautiful with huge windows and very high ceilings. It's comfortable space with a lot of nice touches, like the extra door from the bedroom to the bathroom and the study off the bedroom, where we set up our laptop. The kitchen gave me good work space, and we ate all our meals at the gracious dining room table. Ken and Gayleen were wonderful hosts. We'd love to stay there again if we return to Helena.

We made ourselves at home in no time in this cozy well supplied unit. Beautiful oak woodwork, a large dining table, great kitchen, comfortable bed. Close in but still a quiet neighborhood. Perfect for us and we hope to visit again next year when we visit our family in Helena.

Nicely restored classic apartment

We enjoyed our several day stay in this nicely restored classic apartment. It’s clear the owners took care in restoring the beautiful woodwork throughout the apartment. The kitchen was well stocked and nicely refreshed. Check-in was easy and the owner was always responsive to my questions.
