About this property

The Governor’s House

A beautiful 5 bedroom historical house built in 1913 for Roy and Ellen Ayers. Mr Ayers was the Governor of Montana from 1937-1941. It is in the historical district called the “Courthouse District”.
3 large bedrooms are upstairs with one bath and 2 bedrooms are on the main floor with 2 baths. The main floor has a large living room, dining room, kitchen, game room and office.
We have security cameras on the exterior of the house. They are disarmed when guests are there, unless we see there is an issue (sneaking a pet in, too many people, destructive behavior, etc).

Our stay at this VRBO was excellent. The younger children enjoyed the play option and adults loved the front deck. The owners were accommodating and easier to work with. We would gladly stay again and recommend the space to any friends.

We were in this area for a job at a local site. It was so nice to have a clean place to return to at the end of the day! This had enough rooms for everyone to have their own privacy and the hosts were most accommodating and friendly!

Great history and perfect location!

The house was perfect for our visit to Lewistown for a family wedding! It accommodated our family and we enjoyed spending time on the front porch and appreciated the documentation providing the history of the house. The only downfall was not enough toiletries and garbage bags for our larger group. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Derree Kamp

Host profile image

We are 5th generation Montanans, born and raised in central Montana. Greg is a building contract and Derree is retired from working at the Jr High. We enjoy being with our large family and recreating at the beach and lakes.
We have restored several historic houses in our area. The Governors house is special to us because we owned it 31 years ago and were fortunate to buy it again in 2020. Eventually, when we move to town, it will be our family home. Until then we love to share it with others.
