About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Fisherman’s Lodge on Hauser: The Perfect Lake Getaway!

Escape to a tranquil lakeside retreat for your getaway, just a stone's throw from the shores of Hauser Lake. This spacious home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, nestled on a lush, one-acre parcel with ample room for both indoor and outdoor family enjoyment. Quick Note About the Property: The home is currently for sale, and as we prepare for the sale, many of the taxidermy mounts and decorative items shown in the listing photos may no longer be on-site during your stay. While the décor may change, the home remains a comfortable, inviting lakeside retreat where you can relax and enjoy your time by the water.

Spanning 2,700 square feet of living space, the residence boasts three bedrooms, and additional sleeping quarters in the loft.

As you step onto the main level, you’ll find a built-in wet bar, with a pub-style table with seating for four, and the first full bathroom.

Head up the stairs to the second level of the home, where you'll discover a fully stocked kitchen equipped with everything you need to create gourmet meals. The dining room accommodates six at the table and an additional three at the bar.

The second floor also features all three bedrooms, with the primary bedroom offering an ensuite bath, a cozy king-sized bed, and captivating views of Hauser Lake. The other two bedrooms boast lake views and feature comfortable queen-sized beds. The third full bathroom is conveniently situated between these two bedrooms.

Relax on the front deck, which overlooks Hauser Lake, or enjoy views of Lake Helena and the town of Helena from the back deck, which also boasts a gas BBQ for outdoor cooking.

In the backyard, unwind around the fire pit while taking in Montana's expansive Big Sky Country.

For boating enthusiasts, there are two public boat launches nearby, with the closest just 300 yards to the south or half a mile west on Lake Helena.

Embark on boat or jet ski adventures to Black or White Sandy, where sandy beaches await, or head to Lakeside to dock your vessel, savor a meal, listen to live music, and indulge in the indoor/outdoor bar experience.

Both Hauser and Lake Helena offer excellent fishing opportunities, whether from the shore or a boat, with catches including rainbow trout, walleye, perch, pike, burbot, and the occasional brown trout. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also delightful options, as these waters are typically calm.

During the winter months, this property serves as an ideal home base for hunting or ice fishing expeditions. Montana's hunting grounds are renowned for elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, antelope, upland birds, and waterfowl.

We take great pride in this home, which holds cherished memories of our family gatherings. We invite you and your loved ones to create your own special moments here. This home has been a cherished place for family and friends to gather and enjoy quality time.

There is a secondary vacation rental on the property, not attached to the main house, the only shared space is the driveway.

Our family loved it

It was great for our family of 8. We have two teenagers and also two adult daughters with husbands so this was a great set-up for each couple to have their own room + a spacious loft for the teens. Our young adult kids loved the taxidermy and proximity to the water.

Safari by the Lake

We had a wonderful stay. The home is very comfortable with everything you could need. It is a three-story home with the main living area on the second floor. The views on the second deck are very nice from the kitchen and the living room. The third floor is set up as a bunk room with plenty of room for children to spread out. There are mounts of ducks, moose, fish and more. I’m sure each with a story to tell. The hosts are quick to respond to any questions you have and are friendly.
