About this property

This serene, seemingly remote studio cabin located on a historic ranch 10 minutes west of Helena, near Continental Divide and MacDonald Pass trail system is sure to meet your needs. This comfortable and clean cabin with a modest, fully stocked kitchen and 3/4 bath is sure to help you unwind and recharge.

The cabin is located at the end of the driveway next to the main house, yet has a private backyard space.

Cozy and clean
We were very impressed by the cleanliness and character of the cabin. Perfect size for two people, and a beautiful view. The cabin included thoughtful add-ons like snacks, sodas, soap, a snow shovel, etc. Additionally, the hosts plowed the driveway every day of our stay.

Nice hideout
Nice location, away from noise and city, but close enough to head into town when we wanted to. No creek nearby, despite the name of the place, haha, but it was still a great location.

They did a great job of making the little cabin homey. You do have to go down a gravel road for quite a while to get there though

After being on the road for 3 weeks, we were looking for a place we could rest for a few days. We loved the quiet of the countryside and sitting in the yard in the evening and hearing the breeze through the aspens. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable, and we learned a little local history from the owner and a neighbor when walking around the area. Great stay

Loved our stay at Creekside Cabin!
Most hotels in the Helena area did not have very good reviews, so I went outside of my comfort zone and tried my first VRBO: Creekside Cabin. This was just wonderful in every way possible. It was clean and furnished so nicely. With the extremely hot weather, we were so thankful for the air conditioner. The horse themed decor in the cabin was so nice and we also enjoyed sitting outside in the evening in the private backyard. Thank you so much, Amy! We hope to be back again next time we're in the Helena area.

Very nice and secluded. I was traveling for work but my wife loves Montana and next time she wants to go I am going to book this cabin so we can spend some time around Helena. Not far from some great huckleberry picking when they are in season.

About the host

Hosted by Amy May

Host profile image
Being natives to Montana, my husband and I are proud to call Helena our home. The wide open spaces and great outdoors cannot be matched! We enjoy exploring the outdoors and love helping others experience the opportunities this area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in many ways. While being very historic (built in the early 1900's), it is beautifully, and comfortably refurbished. Explore the history of this ranch that was the tollhouse for MacDonald Pass before the highway was ever built! The stunning views of this valley are sure to impress and allow you the opportunity to reconnect with what is most important.

What makes this property unique

If you've been wanting to unplug and recharge, this cabin will suit your needs. With no wi-fi or TV, you will have the perfect opportunity to reflect, read, or do whatever you need to relax. Light a fire in the fire-pit, cook on the grill, and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
