Helena House | Lakefront Cabin on Candlelight

5 Bedroom House in Helena

This is lake living at its finest (and now with AC). The Cabin on Candlelight perfectly combines upscale cabin interior, beautiful lake views, large outdoor patios, and lakefront complete with a private dock to make your summer vacation complete. Candlelight is located on the northwest shore of Canyon Ferry Lake. This is the high-rent district on Canyon Ferry as it offers a true mountain/lake experience. There just are not other vacation properties available in this highly coveted area. At only 15 miles from Helena and 95 miles from Bozeman, it is an easy (perfect?) weekend getaway.
The interior for the ‘cabin’ was remodeled a few years ago. The kitchen has brand new appliances and the wood burning stove ensures that you have the full cabin experience. We have recently grey-washed the walls and painted the windows white to give it a more modern lake feel. Three distinct living areas allow for groups to easily co-exist. The main unit is comprised of 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The 550 square feet ‘anchor’ has a fantastic view of the lakefront inlet but bear in mind that it does not have a bathroom. The bunkhouse (900 square feet) above the garage also does not have a bath. One shower you ask? Remember, this is lake living.
Yes, the interior is beautiful, but where are you going to spend all of your time? Outside. This is where the property exceeds all expectations. The deck off the main unit is 600 square feet of perfection. It is a huge gathering place with tremendous views of the private inlet and the greater Canyon Ferry Lake. Just for kicks, there is a second stone patio along the side of the main unit which includes a fire pit, barbeque, and much more room to congregate.
What more could you want?
A few things to keep in mind:
- There are multiple spaces in driveway for toys such as boats/campers
- The stairs to the dock are steep/old and include multiple landings. They are not handicap accessible. There will be multiple warnings heeded to anyone who chooses to rent this property; you are assuming the risk of utilizing the stairs to reach the waterfront. You will be required to sign an agreement that includes this understanding.
- Furnishings may be slightly updated from pictures
- As mentioned, all bathrooms are located in the main unit
- Keep in mind this is real lakefront, not a few minutes away as other listings on Canyon Ferry show
- 10% discounts on stays of a week (20% on monthly stays)
- This place is really awesome.

Summary: A good place for our group stay while fishing.
Debbie K. Aug 15, 2024 02:19:57 AM
Summary: Exactly what my family was looking for four our vacation
Scott S. May 24, 2024 03:11:39 PM
Summary: Very nice place with beautiful views.
Shannon J. Sep 1, 2023 08:00:36 AM
Summary: This was a great place for our whole family to spend time together and enjoy the water. Plenty of room and great accommodations.
Steven C. Aug 17, 2023 07:02:44 AM
Summary: This was the location for our annual family week on a lake (normally it is Flathead Lake). The owner was very gracious and answered all of my questions quickly and accurately. The house is showing its age and has several maintenance issues but none of them impacted our enjoyment of the site. There was newly installed air conditioning units in the house and above-garage BR which enhanced our week greatly. The area around the house is spacious with ample parking and maneuvering room for cars and a boat trailer. Additional good cushions for the abundant seating on the deck and patio would be a plus. The deck is a prime location for eating outside but is hampered by the industrial grade (read "heavy") patio table that is in the direct sunlight in the afternoon and early evening. The lake is often very windy and rough which limits what you can do but the dock area is deep in an inlet that keeps it protected at all times. Take the owner's comments about the stairs down to the dock literally.

Summary: Our stay was great. Your website is very frustrating to deal with.
Mary T. Jul 10, 2023 09:22:19 AM
Summary: My family came from around the world (USA, Germany & Australia) to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday. The house was perfect for hosting 20 people comfortably - both indoors and outdoors. The views were stunning. After reading the reviews, I had no surprises. The host was fabulous about communicating with me. This was my first Vrbo experience and it was fantastic.

Summary: Beautiful location and accommodations for our family group. We have family nearby and spent most of our time with the large group at their place or on the water. The boat slip was wonderful but access via the stairs is a challenge (unless you're 13!) . I'd suggest walking to the closest public access shore and enjoy the water from there. Great views, fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms never ran out of hot water. Beds were good and each room has small fan for air circulation (bring in the great Montana air) - the main living area has a room air conditioner to use as needed. Neighborhood dogs come to visit, but they are friendly (so are the neighbors.)
Karlee S. Jul 27, 2022 11:01:05 AM
Summary: Communication with the owner was great, very responsive! The home is beautiful with a great view and lots of room for the family. Many memories were made!
Cathy A. Jan 7, 2022 01:00:01 PM
Summary: We had a very nice time. Too bad the water was so low by the dock. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
