Handcrafted From Montana Trees, This Airbnb Is at the Top of Our Travel Wish List This Fall

As summer winds down each year, I typically experience a flood of emotions. I go through my summer bucket list, regretting the activities I did not cross off. As a mom, I’m excited for my children to head back to school, allowing me to once again establish a consistent routine. But often, I am just exhausted. I need a few days of pure relaxation, surrounded by Montana’s natural beauty, and secluded enough that I feel like I’ve escaped my daily stresses.

The Lillie Pad is a mountaintop, luxury glamping suite Airbnb near Helena, Montana, that’s truly one of a kind. This structure is handcrafted from locally milled Douglas fir trees, is nestled in the CanyonRidge Ranch, and has countless amenities to provide rest throughout your entire stay.

This glamping suite Airbnb will impress you the minute you arrive. It is located approximately 1 mile up a gravel road, and while there are others at the CanyonRidge Ranch, you will have a private experience. The glamping suite boasts a unique hexagonal structure with 21-foot ceilings and large windows that let in ample light, making the space feel large and spread out.

And everything about this Airbnb screams luxury. Not only is this glamping suite handcrafted, but you’ll also find touches that make this vacation rental feel like home. Bring your favorite book and snuggle up on the couch or a chair. At night, let the plush bedding envelop you as you drift off to dreamland.

To make your stay even more enjoyable, the hosts of the Lillie Pad offer several add-ons for various moments throughout your stay. Order a dinner for two, breakfast in the morning, a charcuterie board, wine, or even airport pickup and drop off. These little things make your stay absolutely delightful and set it apart from other Airbnbs in the area.  

Yes, the interior has so much to love, but the exterior of this Airbnb near Helena is what first caught my eye. In the fall mornings, curl up on the wooden patio with a hot beverage in hand and watch the sun brighten up the gorgeous mountain views in front of you.

In the evening, you can prepare dinner on the outdoor grill and enjoy the forest views. If you time your visit just right, the vibrant fall foliage will add splashes of color to the landscape. Then, soak in the hot tub as you watch the sun set each night. Fall is the perfect time to recover after a busy summer and to prepare for the upcoming holiday season. This unique glamping suite is truly a place where relaxation is felt.

Of course, if you want to get out, explore, and enjoy the cooler weather that autumn is known for, this rental borders the Helena National Forest. This means you are not far from all types of outdoor adventures, from hikes to fishing in lakes and streams. Helena is also just a short drive away if you wish to explore the city.

There is something special about enjoying a slow, relaxing autumn, and when you stay at this unique, luxurious glamping suite, you’ll find the rest and recovery that you desire. You deserve it. Plan your own trip with Only In Your State's itinerary planner.
