Jesse and his group are always a pleasure to have!
This home was perfect for our family and siblings during our stay in the Helena area. The view is breathtaking especially the sunsets. The game room was a huge hit with the kids.
Just beautiful, quiet, spacious. This was perfect for a base for a wedding, family visit. Plenty of room for allmof us to be together but stay out of each others hair. Host was so accruate about the property. Views just gorgeous and a great place to disconnet the technology and connect with family. Would come back again just to sit on the back porch.
This is a great place to stay. It has excellent views and plenty of this to do for everyone from kids, to outdoorsman, readers, and relaxers. We had a great time at the Eagle's Nest.
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.
We just love staying at The Nest. It's the perfect spot for us and the owners are so easy to work with. The weather this fall was so wonderful with spectacular views every day.
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.
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.
We loved staying in this beautiful home with stunning views, an amazing night sky and close to the lake. The owners were so gracious and left wonderful welcome touches. The game room was a huge plus!! We would recommend this vacation property to everyone..
This was our second time staying at this property. We love how big it is. Plenty of seating in the living room. The best part is the location. Very private and beautiful views. I'm sure we will be back a third time.
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.
