Perfect!
It was the perfect place for our large family during a recent weekend wedding. The kitchen had all of the utensils/cookware we needed to cook & bake for a 40+ person rehearsal dinner (held off-site). One note, there is not a microwave. The beds were very comfortable. The house & furnishings were beautiful! I'd stay there again! It has my highest recommendation!

Beautiful Home in Helena
This is a great house in Helena and does accommodate a group well. It is noisy because of age and food floors. Communication with property manager was excellent and she was very accommodating.

Beautiful spacious home
Large dining area, plenty of couch seating, roomy bedrooms. One first floor bathroom and one second floor bathroom were just barely enough for our group, but we made it work. Plenty of fluffy towels, pillows, and blankets. Kitchen with standard cookware and large enough for 2-3 people to work. It is an old house with creaky floors, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper!

Great historic location
Great place to stay with a big group, and an awesome location. Quiet neighborhood, and just a short drive to downtown. The only thing to be aware of is that all the bedrooms are upstairs, so not ideal for those who have trouble getting up and down. A bathroom is located on the main level and the other is upstairs. Other than that, we loved the place!

We enjoyed the area greatly. The house was old but usable. The shortage of bathrooms was a little troublesome, but we managed. We saw many deer in the yard. A/C worked great. It was an overall good stay.

Lovely Historic home that is well equipped
This house had everything we needed. All the bedrooms were large and well equipped. Comfortable beds, large closets with plenty of hangers and luggage racks, dressers, mirrors, and plugs for all my electronics. Bathrooms were large as well and were well lit with plenty of towels, and other bathroom necessities. The kitchen was well stocked, large and clean. The dining room table was a perfect place for large gatherings . There was seating for 10+ around the large wooden table. The best part was sitting in the comfortable chairs on the front porch while enjoying the beautiful weather and view of Mount Helena as I drank my coffee. We will definitely be staying here again.

This charming old Victorian was very well maintained and spotless! The beds and bed linens were super comfy and there was plenary of towels, blankets, pillows. Remember, this is a old home with lots of charm. It is not a modern, sleek hotel room. I felt safe with young children in this home as long as they did not go up into the attic space alone.

The perfect historic home
We rented the Little Helena Mansion for 2 nights for 7 ladies in town for a tennis tournament. We loved the house- plenty of beds all of which were very comfy! We loved sitting on the back porch for meals and were very thankful that the house has AC as it was super hot in Helena this weekend! Would definitely recommend!

Nice Getaway
This was a FABULOUS place to stay! We all loved the nostalgia of the mansion, the ornate woodwork and it just felt like home away from home! There were 6 adults and we all had plenty of room. The dining room was great for playing cards and meals, bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and will rent this one again!

Wonderful space for a family gathering to celebrate my son's wedding
I am so grateful to the owners for going above and beyond to ready this historic home for my family. We were all very comfortable, wonderful beds! Family and friends came over to have some meals over the course of the long weekend, and the dining room and living room space was able to accommodate our revolving visitors easily. The kitchen is well stocked for serving many people. And the location is easily accessible to downtown Helena.

Helena’s Little Mansion Delivers
We absolutely enjoyed every minute of our stay at this home. It’s history is recognizable from the moment you walk in the front door, but that says little for how great a place this was for our family to stay, altogether, for our trip to Helena. Not only would we recommend this to anyone bringing a large group, we plan to stay here again in the spring for our son’s graduation from Carroll College

It was nice for family to be together in one spot. In town to pay our last respects to our Mother. There were a couple complaints. 1. The coffee pot was filthy. 2. all the condiments on the door took away from what we needed to put in. 3. Only a couple spoons. The decor was perfect for the house.and had a place for kids to play.

Our family rented the Little Helena Mansion because we were in town for a family wedding. It was the perfect rental for our family (ranging in ages from 4-47)! It had everything we needed and we felt right at home. It was so much fun to check out the amazing house and all of the rooms when we first got into town. We would definitely stay here again!
