About this property

Modern Relaxing Escape - The Clancy Cottage

The Clancy Cottage is 800 SF with a modern/open floor plan and all the amenities needed for a comfortable experience. It is located in a relaxing setting with great views of Sheep Mountain and surrounding forest.

You can relax and enjoy a Montana evening on the outdoor patio which includes a grill, propane fire-pit and hot tub. The hot tub is not available for use from Nov.1-Apr.1 due to cold weather and maintenance required; however, we provide our guests with 2 adult passes to Boulder Hot Springs. Activities enjoyed in the immediate area include hiking, disc golf, mountain biking, and ATVing.

The cottage is located just 2 miles from I-15 and is a quick drive to Helena where you can enjoy dining, breweries, theater, shopping and historical places of interest.

The cottage was completed in the Spring of 2022 and includes a full kitchen, full bathroom, washer and dryer and an upstairs loft with a king bed and a designated work space. Owners live on site in home next door.

Peaceful getaway but bot far from Helena

Beautiful little cabin. We stayed here during a basketball tournament. The layout of the cabin was perfect for just the two of us. The bed was very comfortable. Five stars overall for sure!

Location, amenities, thoughtfulness

This property is conveniently located between Helena and Boulder Hot springs, allowing us to have a great weekend going into Helena for dinner and shopping, Boulder to soak in the historic hot springs and some hiking on the nearby Sheep mountain. The cottage was perfectly set up for my husband and I, with many thoughtful extra touches by the owners. I would highly recommend this property as a perfect spot for a getaway for two.

Surprise Elopement

I surprised my fiance with an elopement on our trip to montana, and was very stressed, to say the least. We were instantly relaxed in the cottage. Anything that we possibly could have forgotten was there. The bed is SUPER comfortable. We will definitely be back!

If you're looking for comfortable, immaculate, and quiet accommodations in the Helena area I highly recommend the Clancy Cottage. We had a great stay. As a host Stacey is fantastic, I can't think of anything she could do to to make it easier for guests to settle in and relax.

Amazing!

My partner and I were here this weekend for our anniversary and we both agreed this was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had! Thank you so much to Stacy and Paul for all of your thoughtful touches and attention to detail! Everything was perfect beyond what we could have asked for. They even went so far as to make sure we had a special treat to celebrate our anniversary with. We absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone in need of a good vacation. We couldn’t have asked for anything better and hope to be back soon!

Haven In The Woods

I don’t even know where to start raving about this place. My husband and I stayed a couple of nights and, from before we even got there, we felt incredibly welcomed. Once we did get there, we were welcomed by the coziest, cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Paul and Stacey went above and beyond to make our anniversary extra special. Would 100/10 recommend anybody looking for the *perfect* stay to come visit the cottage!!

Perfection!

Beautiful little cottage! This was by far the cleanest and best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Kitchen and bathroom had everything you would need. The hosts thought of everything. And you could tell they took great care and pride in their cottage. Hot tub was so relaxing! Saw mama deer with their babies go right past us from the hot tub both evenings we were there. I already miss the sounds and smell of the pine trees around us, and the peace and quiet.
