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.

Happy Easter retreat

So many great amenities. Well stocked kitchen, lots of bed for everyone to have their own space and lots of fun entertainment options (game room, fire pit, ample family room seating, great dining table) etc. Great property for a multi generation get together.

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.

Eagle's Nest above all the rest!

We just love the Eagle's Nest. It's the perfect venue for us and Andy and Patty are so lovely to us. The improvements they've made over the years have only added to the charm and functionality of The Nest. We'll keep coming back as long as they let us.

Family gathering g for grandchild graduating from Carroll College

Beautiful property - 5 bedrooms with very comfortable beds. The views are stunning. We had family between ages of 7 to 73 & everyone loved it! Living room area away from the bedrooms so people could sleep in if they preferred without being bothered by others up & visiting . The game room was a hit for all !! The host were available to answer any questions! Would definitely book again inthe future 👍🏼

a covid getaway

We live in Iowa and our daughter,son-in-law and granddaughter live in Helena. We had tried to get together in Spring and summer but covid stopped those plans. My husband and I decided to drive to montana and see them but we wanted a family friendly location but somewhat away from other people. This was the exact spot! Close enough to Helena for grocery shopping and other needs - but trails for hiking and biking and we spent time at canyon ferry lake and walking along Missouri River close by. We are back in Iowa with wonderful memories.

EVERYTHING about this property was amazing. The house itself and the beautiful views of the mountains will forever be in all of our memories. We had a full house including two three year olds and two 80 year olds with mobility issues. The house provided everything we needed for an incredible week and SO MUCH MORE. The host was very helpful. The home was full of amenities and pleasant surprises at every turn. It was difficult to leave and I am hopeful we will be able to return to enjoy in the future for another stay full of family togetherness and fun for all.

Beautiful place with amazing views. We had a great time even though the fishing could have been better. Guess that's why they don't call it "catching." Great accommodations with incredible sunsets. Highly recommend staying here.

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.
