Trail Lovers Getaway - walk or bike to downtown
Come relax or be adventurous during your stay in this newly remodeled historic home in the beloved South Broadway neighborhood. This is the perfect location for a true Helena experience! Spencer Street is nestled between 4 trailheads and within minutes of downtown's breweries and locally owned shops. This unique area of Helena is known for its closely connected quaint homes that once housed gold miners working up nearby gulches. Welcome to the neighborhood and let us know if you need anything!
This street level apartment features two bedrooms with new mattresses, a fully equipped kitchen, and great outdoor space with views of the mountains. Enjoy a personal fenced-in yard or the shared garden space with the grill and picnic table. We had fun furnishing this space with a mix of vintage and modern furniture and some of our favorite artwork and handmade lighting. Get in touch with the host if you want to know more about the artwork that fills the space or more about the local art scene!

The property was perfect, clean and well equipped. The house had everything we needed, and it was close to trails and a short walk to downtown. We look forward to staying there again in the future. Great hosts.
Really nice place, close to shops and food. Very quiet. Perfect for a trip that you plan on being adventurous. Not a place to go if you’re going to want to sit in the house all day. Very comfortable to come back to after a nice long hike.
Convenient location to walking trails and downtown. Property was clean and charming. Checking in and out was easy. Communication with management was superb. We will definitely stay here again!!
We went to Helena a week before our daughter's wedding and this sweet rental was perfect for our family. We loved walking to downtown, hiking and visiting the local brewpubs and restaurants. We slept well, the beds were cozy. Thank you so much!
Great location, walking distance to multiple trails. Also close to downtown, restaurants, and shops. Cute neighborhood. Nice comfortable place with yard access as well.
The surrounding trails and close proximity to downtown could not have been better. This property is in a well kept and charming area. Very much enjoyed my stay.
Lovely space and within walking distance of downtown
The space was very nice, comfortable, and clean. I enjoyed being within walking distance of downtown and right next to trail systems up into the hill. I would definitely recommend this property.
This property was excellent!! The trail to Mt Ascension is right out the back door! So fun. And lots of historic homes in the neighborhood you can learn about if you go for a walk. The owners are super to communicate with and available if you need anything. We had a great time! Plenty of room for this family of 5.
My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were accommodating and flexible. The apartment was clean and pleasant, and I loved looking at Breena’s beautiful ceramic pieces. The location is wonderful. We enjoyed the charming ambiance of the old historic mining neighborhood and I had the most pleasant walk through the neighborhood and nearby trails in a beautiful snow storm. I would love to come back in the spring or summer when all of their flowers are in bloom.
I really enjoyed staying again in this historic neighborhood near downtown!
The property has been nicely updated and was very comfortable, clean and cozy for our stay. There was everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals.
The mattresses and bedding were great, so we slept well.
Even with some snowy weather, it was easy to stay warm as the building is well insulated.
This was my second stay here, and I would definitely stay here again next visit as I have family in the area.
It's a wonderful base, and has some good memories.
Charming downstairs apartment near Trails and Old Town
Quiet neighborhood on the edge of town. Walk to plethora of hiking and biking trails and saunter through Old Town Helena the other direction. Nice little yard for our dog. Everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing stay. Easy communication with the owners.
We do not have any family in the area. So we chose to do a staycation Thanksgiving. We were able to bring our dog and hunt some areas within short driving distance a couple of mornings. This allowed for him to burn off energy and then we could spend our evenings either cooking at the condo or eating fine dining within walking distance at the nearby restaurants. It was wonderful.
We really enjoyed our time at this property. We were a little surprised that it’s the downstairs of a home, and somebody lives upstairs. But we barely heard the upstairs person, and the downstairs has much more natural light than a traditional basement. It was very clean, had a fairly well stocked kitchen, and had really comfortable beds. Communication with the property manager was spotless. And the house is located maybe 500 yards from amazing trail systems in the south hills. Would definitely recommend this home to others.
I felt the description of the property was misleading. The VRBO indicates “entire house”, yet when we check in we find out there is a long term tenant living above. Basically this is a downstairs apartment. The dryer, located behind a locked door in the living room was running when we arrived. Then we see that there is another person living in the upstairs. You could hear the walking and things rattling overhead. When there was a lot of water flushed, maybe a toilet flush, it sounded like a rush of water in the living room ceiling. The place was nicely decorated, beds were comfy, and it was clean. It’s just not a place for me.

The rental was charming, in a great location, had easy parking, was well supplied, and was convenient to nearby hangout spots. Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. We could hear nearly everything from the upstairs unit, including the tenant and their dog, which disrupted the quiet. The tenant wasn’t noisy, but we could hear the dog playing, the water running, and every footstep.Additionally, communication with the host could have been better. We had to reach out twice to get basic check-in information that should’ve been provided automatically. Not something we wanted to stress about as we were trying to wrap things up and head out on vacation. The host has great reviews, so I assume this was just a fluke.
