About this property

Breathtaking Views, Canyon Ferry Lakefront!

Relax and unwind at this gorgeous lakefront home. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Helena, Heron House is the perfect getaway for couples and families. Nestled amongst the boulders on the west shore of the lake, the house and deck offer breathtaking views, peace and tranquillity. The home was completely remodeled in 2016 offering all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. A secluded bay with large dock awaits for boating, swimming, fishing or kayaking. Recreational activities abound; paddle to Cemetery Island for a picnic and geocaching or Orchard Beach for swimming and catching minnows, catch a fish and barbeque it for dinner, relax on the deck with a good book and a cup of coffee or take a nap in the hammock. Horseriding, hiking, world class mountain biking all close by. Several great restaurants, cafes, microbrew pubs, museums, galleries and great local farmers market available in Helena. For children don't miss Exploration Works museum, the Great Northern Carousel or a traditional wagon ride dinner at the Last Chance Ranch. Canyon Ferry Lake is conveniently located between both Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Property is a fabulous place for children over age 4 to explore but not really suitable for toddlers.

Wonderful location for get away

Stayed for 5 nights, great set up for having 2 families enjoy a vacation together. Really enjoyed the deck overlooking the lake and being able to use the kayaks to explore the area. The house had everything we needed, appreciated the well stocked kitchen and use of the outside grill. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay. The only suggestion would be to note that the sandy beach with fire pit image is not on property. The home and location was fabulous and we loved our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2024
The beach actually is on the property. As stated in the comment with the photo water levels in the lake vary greatly and the week this guest stayed was during full pool. There are several other beaches on the lake that are available at all times.

Great family lake house getaway

Beautiful view with great amenities. The kitchen cupboards are fully stocked. Fridge is kept bare, but frosted glasses in the freezer was a nice touch. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the loft play area. Would stay again!

Great vacation!

Nice house. Thought it seemed small at first but we had good room for five adults and three toddlers. Great deck out on the rock. House was good for meals and after dinner relaxing. Boat dock and separate rock area at the water were both nice after getting accustomed to the access trail. Will stay again!

Beautiful house and awesome view

The house was very clean and had all the basic necessities such as coffee pot and pots and pans etc. The view of the lake is perfect and so relaxing. Lots of lake toys to choose from and a place to dock your own boat. The family enjoys it every time we come and can’t wait to come back again.

Beautiful Mountain Escape

An absolutely beautiful place to relax. The home is well described, but the views must be experienced! The home was well prepared for our stay and owners are great to work with. The drive from Helena is simple. The lake sunrise was amazing with birdsong and we enjoyed walking to several parks and beaches nearby.

Lovely place!

We stayed 3 nights with 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was just the right size and had everything we needed for cooking and hanging out. The kids loved the kayaks and the dock and the rocks for swimming. Adults spent most of the time on the upper deck -- amazing views. The house was cleaned and well-stocked and communication with owners was smooth.

Wonderful waterfront property with everything you need from your own dock, kayaks and amazing views. House was perfect for our family. Liz was amazing to communicate with and we will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to MT. Only Con was driveway was a little tricky to try and navigate a boat trailer to get in and out when neighbors were at the house next door with their vehicles parked on shared driveway.

With the pictures of the property we were expecting great things. If possible, the pictures don't do the property justice. We spent way more time on the site than expected somewhat because we figured we wouldn't see anything more beautiful than what we were seeing from the deck. Kitchen is well stocked and many nice touches throughout the home. Highly recommend.

Great find!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay! The home is spacious and comfy. The views are spectacular. Our family kayaked to the island and enjoyed the second plank to sit on the rocks too. The deck is better than the pictures! The hikes near York were our favorite. We would definitely recommend and/or return!

Perfect Family Vacation!

We brought our adult children with us on a 25th Anniversary trip and everything was perfect! We played in the lake, caught some really nice trout, ate yummy food, watched movies, read books, did half a puzzle and slept in. It was wonderful! The house is exactly as described and the communication with the owners was great! Thank you for the memories!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kyle & Liz Flynn

Host profile image
After meeting on a cattle drive vacation in Townsend, MT in 2005 I moved to Montana from London. Having grown up near the beach in England it was the answer to a dream to be able to buy this gorgeous getaway. Having lovingly updated it, we now hope to make many memories with families and friends in the future. We hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

This place has some magic! Its close enough to town to be convenient but waking up on the water makes you feel like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. Our children love building forts, fishing, swimming and playing in the upstairs of the house. Everything has been updated so it feels new and fresh and clean! Its the perfect getaway! Cozy by the fire in the winter and refreshing in the hot summer months.
