The Helena National Forest straddles the continental divide and offers adventurers a whirlwind of majestic scenery and recreation. Nicknamed the “million acre backyard” you’re gonna love exploring the hiking, biking and off roading trails in Gates of the Mountains and the Helena River Valley, which boasts jaw dropping views of the Big Belt Mountains. Anglers will need to be yanked out of the crystal clear Missouri River—the trout are just begging to be caught. Campgrounds are close by and backcountry lovers will find plenty of chances to explore the trails and see incredible wildlife. Don’t pass up a chance to hop the Continental Divide trail or visit Helena National Forest. You’re gonna feel like you’re on top of the world!

A friend of mine and I stopped by on our way across country and John and Sheila’s Gome Home was absolutely a highlight! Their property is not only absolutely beautiful with lots of cute and friendly animals roaming around but also conveniently located next to Yellowstone National Park and the nearby town. Will be visiting again on our next time through the area.

I loved the little gnome home. It was a fun place to stay. Shelia was a great host. She had given us advice of where to go in Yellowstone. She had also made my son and I a pancake breakfast after we completed a task that she asked of us. I highly recommend this little home. Thank you.

I really enjoyed my stay in the Gnome Home. Sheila was great! I loved feeding the goats and chickens. Directions were clear and easy to follow. The porta-potty was clean and well stocked. If I find myself in the area I'd likely stop again.

Sheila’s “Gnome Home” was perfect for my glamping needs. It’s a convenient base camp into Yellowstone. The cabin was comfortable, the chickens, goats, horses, and Shetland Ponies were fun, and Sheila’s breakfast + conversations were just what my souls needed. I’d highly recommend the Gnome Home!
