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).

The place was very historic and nice in that regard. The bathroom situation was odd in that the two bathrooms with showers were downstairs with two bedrooms and upstairs was one bathroom, with only tub along with three bedrooms. The location was great for walking downtown and the yard was nice.

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.

This is a grand old house and the owners are great hosts. They take wonderful care of the property and respond to any questions quickly. The house is a stately old Lewistown house. The best part is the porch! We all sat out there every evening and even enjoyed a major thunder storm while on the porch one night, without getting really wet.The house is well kept and has a brand new kitchen. We highly recommend “The Governor’s House” and it’s proprietors. .

Happy Stay!

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!

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.
