About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The west shore getaway on Canyon Ferry.

A cozy home on Canyon Ferry west shore that has lake front access and views awaiting you and your family and friends. You will wake up to beautiful sunrises over the mountains as well as seeing beautiful sunsets.
This cozy three-bedroom, two-bathroom lake house will accompany up to six guests with all the clean linens and towels provided.
Enjoying your morning coffee in a peaceful setting on the large deck listening to the loons and geese while watching a breath-taking sunrise. You can relax while having breakfast, lunch and dinner right there by the water or cooking by the water while using the BBQ and outdoor furniture.
There are endless activities that await you from fishing, boating, water skiing, swimming, hiking, sapphire mining, rock climbing or just relax and read a book or just watch activities on the water. There are all sorts of wildlife near and far to watch and enjoy as well.
If you are the exploring type, there are gulches across the lake to take a ride up where gold was discovered.
Helena is twenty miles away and offers several restaurants and all your shopping needs. There are daily tours of Helena and the historic alley also the state capital, the cathedral and governor's historic mansion. Helena is full of history, if you like that sort of thing.
We would recommend for young children to be supervised due to the property is a bit rocky. There are nice sandy beaches down the road for playing in the sand.
Parking is limited, no RVs or trailers.
For those with boats, Yacht Basin Marina is a mile down the road, and Kim's marina is across the lake, you will want to call them to reserve a dock for your watercraft.
There is high speed internet if people need to do little checking in for work or what have you.
All you have to do is pack a bag and bring the food and drinks of your choice. The rest is there from coffee to linens and towels.
As a kid and even as an adult I loved being there and never wants to leave once I am there. Hope you choose our lake house for your stay. I promise you will love it.
Come make memories at the Westshore getaway!

The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a phone, and a dining table.

Lovely location and very clean and comfortable. My only concerns is the very steep and in spots very rough access road. And the window A/C units were not enough to keep it cool enough for us during the day.

Great family getaway

What an amazing stay. The property is perhaps the most beautiful on the lake. Great fishing. Everything was there that we needed or forgot to bring. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Games and beautiful areas on the porch or inside for family time. Walking distance from schooners restaurant and the marina. Will book more stays with this wonderful host.

First time in Montana

This property had all the amenities of home. It’s on the west shore of Canyon Ferry Lake and the view was fantastic. We loved it, 20 minutes east of Helena we got to enjoy bunnies and their babies, resident mule deer. An eagle fishing in the evening close to the cabin was something to behold. We had a great time!

Canyon Ferry Lake House

The hosts were very responsive with my text questions before our trip. The bedding and towels were clean and smelled nice. There wasn't ac as stated in the ad, but it wasn't hot, so not a problem. I would recommend the hosts move the bird houses on the 2nd story. I believe they are for martins who eat mosquitos. Unfortunately, they poop all over the top deck. We couldn't use it at all. Otherwise, the stay was very nice.
