Refresh and renew yourself in this tranquil home situated in the foothills of the Helena National Forest. AS WITH MANY MONTANA ROADS, IN SNOWY WEATHER YOU WILL NEED SNOW TIRES OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. Once at the Eagle's Nest you will enjoy all the best that Montana has to offer: sit on the covered porch, sipping your coffee and gazing at the majestic views and the nearby wildlife, hike or mountain bike on the 23 miles of trails right out your back door—or cross-country ski if the weather is right! The Missouri River is only 1 mile away which offers some of the finest fly fishing in the Western US, and is a destination for fly fishermen and women from all over the world. 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.
No matter what your interests are you’re bound to have a great time in this beautiful 3,000 square foot rambler.

Third Time at Eagles Nest

This property is just amazing if you are looking to get outside without getting in the car. Missouri river ~1 mile away, hundreds of acres of public land bordering the property. Go for multiple strolls in the forest per day or go down to the river and have a long picnic. Well appointed kitchen, nice large living area so big groups could be really comfortable and all together. Look out the picture windows and watch the sun come up or the stars come out. The hosts are super responsive to any needs you may have as well. Thank you for the great stay!

Wow!

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! Everything was perfect! The kitchen is well stocked and very roomy to make meals for a crowd. All the bedroom and bathrooms were stocked and comfy! The game room was an extra nice touch for the younger folks! We watched deer every night and morning. There is a cute little bunny family that lives under the back deck that comes out to visit. We all enjoyed the quietness of the property. The sounds of nature was what we all needed to rejuvenate! We hope to be back!

Eagle's Nest in Helena Montana

This house was perfect for our small family reunion. Many thanks to our hosts for sharing such a lovely home. The place was beautifully maintained, clean and spacious, with a separate play room for kids and adults. We appreciated that it felt remote, but was close to shopping and activities in Helena. We definitely recommend it, and would stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Eagle's Nest

Probably the best VRBO we have stayed at in Montana. Views in every direction, hiking right out the door, privacy, and a beautiful home. Temps were near 100 almost every day and the home stayed cool.

Perfect in every way!!

This place was absolutely perfect. It’s huge and the layout of the house makes perfect sense for large groups. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and we had all that we needed! The game room in the garage was also a big hit for everyone! It was also a nice workout space. There isn’t a thing I would change about this place and the property owners were so accommodating! Can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you!!!

Friends' Winter Getaway

We had a group of 10 women that came to explore the wilds of Helena, MT. Andy and Patty's home offered us plenty of room to cook, visit, sleep, and have a hilarious time playing games and going on adventures! The cabin has beautiful views and is far enough from town to feel secluded. Everyone noted how comfortable the beds were. So much room for our large group! Bonus- there's a bonus game room that we also took advantage of. No complaints! We would totally stay here again- any season.

Heaven on Earth

This place was perfect for our family Thanksgiving weekend! There’s plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms & room in general. There’s a fun game room too. The view and outdoors is breathtaking. The hosts are easy to communicate with as well. Their welcome basket and binder of guidelines has excellent instructions in it. We highly recommend staying here!

Great Place for Family

Great place to stay-especially if you want some privacy. We have rented many places in the past expecting privacy and not getting it. The game room is excellent. This is a wonderful property to stay at for families with several children-lots of entertainment. Thank you for sharing your place with us!
