Private Room w/bath at North End of Canyon Ferry Lake
Bear's Den is an exceptional clean, quiet, one bedroom unit with great mountain & lake views. Private parking right outside your door. Enjoy your private deck or join me on the main deck. Bear's Den is very well equipped with a full size Nova Foam King Bed, Keurig coffee pot, microwave and mini-frig. There are real mugs, enough coffee & tea for your entire stay, flatware, paper plates, & much more to make this the idea place to come home to after exploring all Montana has to offer. You are close to lakes, rivers and mountains, and historic downtown Helena. There is a variety of wildlife right outside the door. This room is less expensive & much nicer than rooms in town.
Kathi is amazing, make sure you get introduced to Oreo. King size bed was comfortable. Close enough to Helena, but just far enough to unwind at the end of the day with a lake view.
Thank you for a great stay. Room with a very was perfect for our weekend getaway. The studio was clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you could imagine. The views of Canyon Ferry Lake are outstanding. You have a little piece of Heaven here. Thank you Kathi
Kathy's room with a view is great! The space is extremely well done, very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed waking up to overlooking the lake while sitting on the porch. Kathy is a great host, and exceeded our expectations of our stay as she took us for a boat ride to revisit some memories my husband had as a child. Kathy's house is about 20 minutes to Helena so you have the conveniences of the city with being removed which we prefer. You must take the short drive to York to have a great hamburger in an eclectic bar.
We would and will definitely stay here again
Kathiâs place is ideal for a truly private room stay. The room access and parking is perfect, as it is located near the end of the wrap around deck, and parking is mere feet from the door. Kathi is very hospitable and loves to visit but is also very respectful of her guests privacy. We had a nice chat on her welcoming deck over drinks and she gave us a little tour of her beautiful home. The room was spotless, nicely decorated and the bed was SUPER comfortable. I also particularly loved the shower! She encouraged us to enjoy her deck, and we sure did. One evening, my husband and I sat on the couch and enjoyed the view of the lake and night sky and the hooting owls, all while staying cozy under her electric blanket. I also enjoyed spending some time with her sweet, friendly cat.
This is a clean, airy, mother-in-law's suite with one large room, a bathroom, and a nice walk in closet. The only thing that I noted as lacking is the fact that there was no Wi-Fi and given its location in the valley, cell signal is not strong enough for hot-spot usage. If you are just looking for a place to sleep at night, this is a great spot, if you are hoping to get work done online, this might not be the best spot for you. I would absolutely stay again.
Aug. 5, 2024 How luck am I to be sitting on my deck drinking my morning coffee while enjoying the cool breeze (it was down in the 50s last night) overlooking the sparkling waters of Canyon Ferry Lake with the Belt Mountains for a backdrop. Not a cloud in the sky. Very little smoke (from out of state). This week looks to be one of the most glorious of the summer. Cool temperatures are in score for this week, with the possibility of much needed rain this week end.
The ospreys that nest a few hundred yards away are teaching their young to fly & hunt. They a quite vocal. I thinking the youngster is saying âLook at me! I can fly. I can fly.â
The Horse Gulch Fire that was across the lake burned over 15,000 acres. While it is not out it is contained. It makes me realize how vast the area I live in is. There is very little of the fire remnants I can see. Most of it went east to an unpopulated area. The smoke also went east. I did drive Jim Town Road last Monday. The firefighters did a back burn. It is incredible to see burnt forest on one side of this narrow dirt road & health forest on the other. There has been a lot of work done in that area where they started the back burn so the fire moved very fast. Many trees will be able to recover.
After many years of coming to Canyon Ferry on weekends, I bought the property. It had a 1965 untitled double wide. October of 2018 I scrapped the property & started building. I designed a home to be multifunctional. I wanted it to be able to meet a variety of needs as live changes. With the help of some very talented people, my home exceeds every thing I could have imaged.
THE VIEWS!!! I never tire the views as they change through the seasons. For an overhead view of the area check out "CANYON FERRY ICE SKATERS" on YouTube. We was on the subfloor of the second store watching those skaters.
I having done some traveling, I know what I like in a vacation rental. This is my second vacation rental. I had a home in Bozeman for several years. I want you to be able to slow down, unwind, relax and have a stress free vacation. I provide an inviting, well equipped property for your enjoyment. Your comfort is very important to me. The king bed is so comfy several people purchased one for their home. Our well is excellent, so no need for bottled water. I am involved in every cleaning to insure the unit meets my standards & exceeds yours.
