Ranch House in the Elkhorn Mountains

The renovated Ranch House is perfect as the gathering place for a romantic retreat, or home base while watching wildlife and exploring the Elkhorns. It is part of a 900 acre working cattle ranch that borders National Forest. We are about 25 minutes outside of Helena, Montana, so we are close to town, but secluded in the mountains. There is access to hiking and biking trails minutes away.

The house has 2 bedrooms with double beds and a fold out sofa bed. It has a fully functioning kitchen and a smaller bathroom. There is also a covered porch to take in the mountain views and a fire pit to enjoy the stars of the Big Sky during the evening. Often during the summer, a herd of elk grazes in the hay field right out the back door.

This 100 year old home has been updated and added to slowly throughout the years and has a lot of history to tell. It is great for people with a sense of adventure and don't mind the classics. Although the house is very clean, some wear and tear from being lived and worked in are inevitable. Come and enjoy real Montana ranch living in a mountain oasis.

The ranch house is also the perfect halfway point for travelers visiting Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks looking to keep an authentic Montana feel.

Peaceful Stay
This house and property is perfect to unwind and relax. It’s tucked away but not too far out of Helena. We loved have a big yard for our two dogs to roam on. The home was clean, cozy and comfortable. The sunrise and sunsets were beautiful! We will definitely be back next time we’re in Helena! Thank you Patti for an amazing stay!

Cabin at the right place.
We stayed there to go elk hunting. It turned out to be a centralized location for us to hunt from. There were acres of land around the ranches and connected to the national forest. Also it was a short drive to the WMA on the other side of the range. We will be back if we are lucky enough to draw a tag.

Beautiful home in the Elkhorn Mountains. Great retreat near lots of nature & hiking. Built in the early 1900’s it still has all of its original charm. Full kitchen so I recommend getting groceries in Helena on the way in. Host provides farm fresh eggs!!! There’s a piano for tinkering on and a big bathtub for a nice soak. Great place for dogs too. I love this place. Will definitely revisit when I’m in the area.

An historic cabin with a glorious view
This is an historic cabin some distance from East Helena. It's about a 7 mile drive to get to it on a good dirt road. It met our needs perfectly. There is no wifi here but there is 4G cell service, so plan accordingly. We found the best way to the cabin was up McClellan road off Hwy 12. The deer wander around the house in the evening, eating the grass.

Beautiful mountain getaway
We stayed here for a few days, driving into and back from Helena each day. Staying out into the mountains was absolutely worth it.
