Retiree relocation

We stayed at Eliza’s perfect little cottage while waiting to move into our new to us cabin. The location was great. We found our way around Helena easily. Hiking, library & restaurants were within walking distance. She was available to answer any questions we had. Overall, wonderful accommodations! Highly recommend!

Excellent vacation stay. Such a convenient location. Very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen. Great communication with Eliza. Loved enjoying coffee on the private patio where we could watch the wildlife. So much history to explore! Reeder’s Alley is a must see if you’re a history buff. The entire neighborhood is historical. We would definitely stay here again!

The Cottage at Bunkhouse Exceeded My Expectations

The perfect location to be apart of what is happening in downtown Helena. Super quiet, well maintained, and has a flair of its own that most places do not have. An absolutely perfect Vrbo for myself and I will book again for all future visits. The charm of the Cottage, along with the beauty of Helena and the people, has helped me fall in love with the area.Lastly, thank you to the property manager for the excellent communication, response time, and overall mamagement of the property. Quite the property that more people should enjoy!!!
