I came up from Livingston to check out Shakespeare in the park. The performance was spot on. The cabin was great! I was able to make my lady and I a quick picknic for the show. Unfortunately my new dog got sick and I forgot some things in the fridge. Bed was comfy and the place was really quiet considering it's location. I'll visit again.

We really loved the experience of staying in a cabin in Helena, Montana. The walking through the Victorian mansion district was amazing, and close proximity to downtown, the capital and the cathedral.

Quaint but tiny.

Nice little place. These are cabins. Mine was very small. Would have been tight for 2 people. Shower was tiny. If youre a larger person youd get stuck. Bed was old and creaky but seemed ok. 7/10

It was my own little cabin no shared walls, full kitchen, windows that open to stars in the sky. The bed was comfortable. I asked if the air conditioner could cool the room before I arrived and the staff put it on. I was cool and didn't really need it but it is nice to ask for something and have people respond. The rules are clear and the desk hours with staff are limited. Read the fine print and you will be fine. Amy went above and beyond to help me recover an item I left behind. I hope to stay here again. Great Grocery store with fresh organic juice and salads nearby "Good Food Store." This place was awesome.

We have stayed at Lamplighter many times - some units are better than others. Unit #30 is not as desirable. The parking spot for this unit is very tight. If there’s other vehicles in the adjacent spaces - forget it if you have a truck. There are 2 overflow spots away from the unit & if they’re not full you can park there. The shower doesn’t have good pressure, more water comes out of the tub spout than the shower head and it takes many minutes for the water to get lukewarm. The flooring is cracked in the sleeping area - covered by a throw mat. It was otherwise clean, but probably not worth the $225/night fee. Other units at the Lamplighter have been good, but wouldn’t choose this one again

July 2025 Stay.

Overall the cabins are wonderful. I've stayed with them before they were just as good. The only complaints that I have for my stay are the water pressure in the cabin was really low so it took a while to rinse and there wasn't enough hot water to finish my shower. As prior military I take quick showers and it didn't last that long. Outside of those two things everything else was great. The staff was nice and the cabin was clean.

Great deal for a quick overnight especially if you need room to spread out gear, use a sink/kitchen, etc. All was fine except really soft bed that when the hubs laid on one side, whole bed slanted his way. I slept on the couch. Property is aging but adequate.

We could and should have stayed at the Doubletree for less. The cabin had an unpleasant odor that was not from smoking. Our clothes, even those we did not remove from our suitcases, reaked of it after only two days.
