Perfect Vacation Or Getaway in the Big Belt Mountains

Tucked well within Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in the Big Belt Mountain range, and down the road from the historic gold mining town of York. Our Montana home sits next to a babbling creek overlooking beautiful wooded property with national forest on all sides.
This home is the perfect get-away if you are looking to;
Seek relaxation and natural beauty
Enjoy waking up to the peaceful sound of the creek and singing birds
Appreciate beautiful views of the forest, and watching deer play in the yard while drinking morning coffee, and watching the wild turkeys stroll by in the afternoon
Fish within a few steps away from our home
Relish exploring and searching for abandoned gold mines minutes from the cabin.
Trying your luck panning for gold in the creek or watching the kids play in the large yard or searching for arrow heads nearby.
If you answered yes to one or all the above, then Trout Creek Treasure is the place for you!
Our home is perfect for family fun, a quiet getaway or a group gathering. This home features three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, vaulted living room ceiling, a wood burning woodstove and ultramodern, well stocked kitchen with granite counter tops, two ovens and a microwave. This open concept kitchen is perfect for preparing meals for family and friends! This home features an abundance of beautiful windows which look out to the forest and has carpeting in the bedrooms for those chilly mornings. There are two queen beds and a full bathroom downstairs. Upstairs, in the loft, there are two single size beds, a bedroom with one full sized bed and the second bathroom. In addition, the couch can fold out for added space. This home can comfortably accommodate eight people with room for the kiddos and sleeping bags in the loft.
Stay in and relax or go out and explore the back roads in and around the Historic York area. There are many options during your stay.
A short drive to the friendly York bar, famous for their hamburgers, a fifteen-minute drive to Lakeside for gas, convenience store, boat rentals, and dining on Hauser Lake. The drive to Yacht Basin or Kim's Marina on Canyon Ferry Lake is 30 minutes through the scenic Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest.
Historic downtown Helena is just a short drive. You will find restaurants, shops (Pan Handler is a favorite), art galleries, historic St. Helena Cathedral, Saturday Farmer’s Market, and several micro-breweries that serve food, and excellent beer. Go a bit further to the west of town and enjoy a soak in the Broadwater Hot Springs. Since you are in the Capitol city of Montana, why not take in the beautiful landscaped capitol building, the Charlie Russell Museum, or enjoy the historic tour of Helena via the Last Chance Tour Train?
In the spring, summer, and fall take advantage of the proximity to the scenic trout creek canyon hiking trail (15-minute drive). This canyon trail has only a 500-foot elevation, so it is an easy hike for hikers of all ages. The area is a perfect place to spot wildlife. In August, the annual York 38 special bike race occurs. You can cheer on the racers as they ride by. York fest and the famous duck races happen in September which support the local fire department. (This is a lot of fun!) Purchase your Duck race tickets at the York bar and the best part is . . . you do not need to be present to win!
Missouri River, Hauser Lake, and Canyon Ferry Lake are close by and offer fishing, boating, kayaking, sunning, paddle boarding and general water fun. Horseback riding is available close by too.

Would you care to journey in the hills, pan for sapphires, fish, eat local fruit, make jams?

Hike up Refrigerator Canyon, Trout Creek Canyon, Hanging Garden, and the upper Beaver Creek just pass the Cribbage Capital of the World, Nelson Montana, and remember do not forget to look for the Mountain Goats!

Pan for sapphires at the nearby sapphire mines.

Fly fish for Browns and Bow's on the un-dammed section of the Missouri River at the mouth of Beaver Creek while you imagine Lewis and Clark walking up the river. Fly fish on the upper Beaver Creek for Brook trout and marvel at the majestic limestone scenery. Fish not biting, no worries, go for a hike and enjoy the awesome views of the big belt mountains.

Feel free to pick chokecherries and apples on the property in late August /early September and make jams to take home to enjoy later.

Enjoy.

Beautiful Home
This home was beautiful inside and out. We had many wedding festivities to attend during our stay but found this home to be welcoming and comfortable. We did make time to enjoy each night, sitting on the porch and listening to the creek flow. Thank you for your hospitality!

An amazingly beautiful property. When we walked around the house, we were pleasantly surprised that the creek ran along the entire backside of the house. We spent a lot of time lounging there. The house was spotless and well stocked. Would highly recommend.

An Oasis
Our family of 5 had an absolutely wonderful time at this property in the Big Belt Mountains. Truely a place that allows you to breath and relax while soaking in the stunning environment. The creek that runs by the house is amazing. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of space for my wife and our three teenagers. We shed some tears when we had to leave but hopeful we can make it back someday. Easy ride down to Helena. Highly recommend!

We had such an amazing time on our family getaway in the Big Belt Mountains. The property was as advertised, and exceptionally clean. Just for clarity, there is no AC in the house so sleeping at night was a little warm but otherwise, it was a great trip!

Trout Creek Treasure
This propert is perfectly located for a quiet get away. About half an hour to Helena, 20 minutes to Golf, 10 minutes to a small beach and picnic park, or 2 minutes to jeep trails up into the hills. The large deck facing the sun and the creek is amazing. A few repairs and updates (A/C in the bedrooms at least, a second TV upstairs, patio door repair, and maybe a couple of beach mats. None of the above affected our enjoyment of the property that much however. The owner was very resposinve and helpful.

We loved the property, the peacefulness, the natural beauty. The house was comfortable and spacious and the kids had plenty of room to play both inside and out. Our only suggestion would be to get rid of the scale in the bathroom! Lol!

Stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from Carroll College with our family. The property was clean, exceptionally well stocked and very comfortable. The scenery was nothing short of fantastic! We could not have asked for anything more from our stay at Trout Creek. Book this one! You will not regret it!

Wonderful, Peaceful stay
Cabin was perfect. Up in the mountains a bit sitting right beside a creek, not too far from town. WiFi and cell service was a little spotty but probably a blessing in disguise. Perfect porch to sit and have a glass of wine while listening to the peaceful babbling brook. House was clean, stocked with whatever you need. Robert was a great host, very responsive and accommodating. Thanks for a great stay. Will definitely be back!

We absolutely Loved staying in this beautiful home. The little touches were so appreciated and the owners very helpful and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend staying here. The creek was enjoyed by all from soaking our feet to playing in it and of course fishing was fun too. One of the best memories is Starwatching on the deck. Stunning!!!

Imagine a place that when you open your eyes in the morning the peaceful sound of the creek is the calming sound you hear. Now as you close your eyes at night to go to sleep the gentle murmuring of the creek lulls you gently to sleep. Your time here can not get any better than this!

Peaceful Getaway on the Creek
I am originally from Montana and now live in Texas where we don't have the beauty of mountain landscapes, running rivers and creeks and the beauty of nature in the woods. This was such a great experience to set up the family for some time away from the busy city life. We hiked, went boating and jet skiing on Hauser Lake as well as enjoying the home on Trout Creek with family time.
