About this property
Mountain Artsy House
Mountain Artsy House - is a beautifully decorated, four bedroom, three bathroom house nestled in the Helena National Forest. Come relax in this mountain retreat space! This VRBO property is built into the side of the hill. The front of the house faces the stream running through the property. Note the stone wall stretching across the property line! (This wall was supposedly built by Chinese laborers during the gold-mine era!) You will feel far away from the hustle and bustle of town, yet you are only 5 miles from the city center.
The house is really split into two separate apartments - one per floor. This works well for large family groups so they can eat all together in the huge kitchen upstairs, but have their own space with a small kitchen downstairs. The upstairs has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large open kitchen/dining area/living room, a huge deck, and a "music room" (piano!). The downstairs has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a laundry room, a dining area/living room with windows and glass door facing the pond.

About the area
Helena
Located in Helena, this holiday home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Cinemark Helena and Bill Roberts Golf Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Great Northern Carousel and Exploration Works. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host
Hosted by Theresa Cardiello

I am very interested in the arts; good movies, art, music, dance, and above all - stimulating conversation. I worked as a counselor for many years. (I continue to have a small private practice.) . Mostly I now teach teach piano lessons and art classes. (check out cardielloartgarage.com.)
I currently live in Helena , but lived in this mountain house with my family for more almost two decades! I have a lot of great memories of this property!

Why they chose this property
If you want a true Montana experience, this is your place! The house is nestled in the mountains, but is close to Helena, so you really have the best of both worlds. You will feel like you are camping, may see lots of wildlife! (lots of deer and chipmunks, an occasional moose, bear, and I personally saw a mountain lion once!) and, without visible neighbors, (except for the renter in the detached garage apartment, you will feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of city life. You are close to hiking/biking trails.
I recently put a lot of time/effort/money into updating this property - with mostly new windows/doors, new granite countertops, huge marble table! outside summer furniture, outside fire pit, pellet stove, fully furnished kitchen with everything you might need for a comfortable stay.

What makes this property unique
Unique is the word for this property! Again, this is a rural, mountain experience - with all of the comforts of a modern home!
If you are planning a trip to Montana to site-see, Helena is halfway between Glacier Park and Yellowstone!
Of note, you will travel one mile on a dirt road to get here. However, this road is generally well maintained, as it is on a school bus route. (This road can get rutty at times.)
I recently was able to get good wifi service there! (no more satellite service!!) . Cell service (Verizon) is spotty. I have a cell phone booster put in, which has helped. No TV service at this time.
