“Amazing”! “Relaxing and Peaceful” Cabin. "A Montana Treasure"!
Zephyr Hill is a stunning historical property located 10 minutes from Helena up Colorado Gulch. This creekside retreat is a great place for a getaway or an excellent basecamp for your Southwest Montana excursion. Carefully restored and updated with a small but modern kitchen, full bath, with a stone fireplace at the center of the cabin. Exposed logs and wood floors are comfortable while the Lodge Craft furnishings will remind you of accommodations in Yellowstone and Glacier. The huge main bedroom is a step-down from the living area and has a comfortable king-sized bed. There is also a smaller bedroom with a twin over full log bunkbed (sleeps 3). Comfortable linens along with extra layers of blankets make it warm on cool summer nights or the coldest of winter days.
We renovated this cabin for use by our own family, but it's too great not to share! We live in the adjacent home, but don't worry, with 5 acres of ground - we may not even bump into each other. All the same, if you need anything during your stay, we're right next door.
While cell service is sparse, we do have fiber-optic internet that allows for WiFi calling and all messaging options. Instructions provided in the welcome book at the Cabin. 100% of our guests have successfully used WiFi calling and you’ll see no difference in your service once connected! The TV supports Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, Prime Video, etc. Please plan to familiarize yourself with casting from your own device or use your login info to access.

About the host
Hosted by Rick Ahmann
We are parents of a large family and enjoy VRBO as the BEST alternative to hotels when we travel! Experienced in the art of hospitality, we are able to provide a top notch stay in a one-of-a-kind place. We genuinely hope you'll enjoy The Cabin!
Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed "putting the day away" on the short drive home in the evenings, but even more, we hate leaving this property in the morning! We live next door to the Cabin and treasure this part of our property. With an open window, the sound of the creek helps us to get to sleep and stay asleep.
It's so easy to be in town for morning coffee or for an evening downtown, but escaping back to silence is golden. We're just a short distance from blue ribbon trout waters, best in the west mountain biking and an equal distance between Yellowstone and Glacier! You're going to love it here!
If you need anything, we're close by. However, we enjoy our privacy so we won't bug you!
What makes this property unique
Our place is a true historic gem. The family that spent summers here many years ago had a patriarch who was a famous inventor! While we enjoy the peaceful setting, we also love the fact that it takes just a few minutes to get into Helena.
