About this property

Montana TING -5star vacation guest house in the heart of Montana

Welcome to TING, a true Zen-inspired guest house retreat with private gated access and 3,800 square feet of luxury living.

A gated resort-like luxury guest house for your perfect vacation just for you and your family- on a 40 acres wooded property.
We adhere to the strict cleaning recommendations and highest standards by VRBO.com now and in the future.

The rental calendar fills up pretty quickly. We do have a 5-night minimum policy. But if you see "holes" in the calendar with less than 5 nights, please contact us and ask if you can still book those dates through a last minute booking.

The word “Ting” comes from the Celtic tradition of “thin places:” ( look up the definition on the web)
Locations where the veil between the earthly and the godly is very thin. A thin place is where we’re able to come together, to catch glimpses of the divine, and to ditch our old ways of seeing the world. A place where we can become our most authentic selves.
Here at the TING, you will experience Montana at its finest. Experience the magic of the Treasure State in our exclusive vacation guest house rental. Savor the sweeping panoramic views of the Missouri River, Lake Hauser, and the Helena City Valley from your room, perched on a hilltop overlooking our 40 acres of forested land.
The TING is like a five-star resort, but you’ll never have to worry about other guests. An unmatched, private luxury experience is yours for the taking, and every detail has been thoughtfully planned to make your stay unforgettable. You are invited to explore and make the most of it.
Enjoy elevated home comforts with many amenities. Our luxury guest house villa has two master king suites, both have air-conditioning units and are outfitted with fine linens and bedding, plus walk-in closets and spa-inspired bathrooms. It features a four-person steam sauna and shower, as well as a meditation room.
You’ll be able to breathe in the fresh mountain air with a 270 degree wrap-around tower- balcony overlooking the whole valley.
The TING is a place for gathering. Food brings us all closer. Take advantage of an open concept, fully equipped, gourmet kitchen with a dining area. The kitchen overlooks the beautiful living room, a gas fireplace, and a large flat screen TV with access to Hulu and Netflix and YouTube-tv. Connect your SPOTIFY account with our Sonos sound system, and enjoy your music throughout the entire house.
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring nature to you in this luxurious villa, but Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, in case you don’t want to quite get away from it all. Laundry facilities, an office, and ample parking are also included in the guest house.
As our guest, you’ll also have access to other amenities on the property. An enchanting infinity waterfall leads to a state of the art, stainless steel outdoor swimming pool—and it’s always 90 degrees from June to October. There is an outdoor shower, a six-person jacuzzi hot tub, a Finnish sauna, and a well-equipped gym.
You’re also welcome to our more recreational amenities, including a 7-hole putting green, a horseshoe track, and Boccia court. But don’t let your stay be all work and no play: you’ll also have at your disposal a covered outdoor fire-pit, pool house, and Tiki bar. We even have a beach! Our "Private South Beach" features fine grain white sand and 2 lounge chairs, from where you can bask in the sun overlooking the pool, garden, and Hauser Lake.
TING is located one mile from Lake Hauser and 15 minutes from the richly historic Helena, MT. For fly fishing enthusiasts, we are just thirty-five minutes to the fly-fishing town Craig and the headwaters of the Missouri River. For skiers, we are 30 minutes to Great Divide.
Come and make TING your home base in “The Last Best Place.”
Note: The TING guest house is comfortably laid out for 4 person. Any additional guest please add $35 per night. Max. 8 guests.
Just to make it absolutely clear: You are renting the GUEST HOUSE. We, the owners and hosts live in the adjacent main house and are there for you, whenever you need help.
During your stay at this guesthouse, you'll be within walking distance of Missouri River. Features include a gym, a spa tub, and laundry facilities.

  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Onsite recreation includes a gym, a sauna, and a playground

Amazing property and hosts
My family stayed at Ting for a week in July. It could not have been a more beautiful property and location! Nick and Christine were incredibly nice and provided 5-star service and accommodations. We wish we had more time to get to know them more as they have such interesting backgrounds and experiences. The guest house had everything we needed and more. And there was so much to do right on property, with the lake only a few minutes away for paddle boarding and kayaking. We look forward to our next stay at Ting.

Montana getaway
We loved everything! The view is spectacular, the pictures don’t do it justice! Our hosts, Nick and Christine were amazing, we felt like family there. We had surprise 50th birthday party for my husband while we were there. Nick and Christine helped me organize the whole thing. They put me in touch with a chef and he prepared everything in their house. Christine set up the beautiful table near the pool and Nick, Christine and Chef David served us! It was unforgettable. There are so many things to see and do right on the property, you don’t even need to leave! We would love to come back.

Amazing Stay!
My family and I couldn’t be happier with this vacation. The property has all the private amenities you could want. Pool, spa, fire pit, putting green, to name a few. And The hospitality of the hosts was absolutely top notch. The house was exquisite with fantastic views of the lake/river, mountains, and Helena. I can’t say enough about our stay at the TING Resort! Simply the best.

Warm Hospitality and Serene Setting
Nick and Christine were wonderful hosts and their property is beautiful and well-maintained! We visited during an extreme heat wave and they worked hard to keep us comfortable- even running to the store to get us additional fans. They were so responsive and helpful- their recommendations led to some of the highlights of our trip! Ting was a great jumping off place for Hauser Lake, Helena, and the Gates of the Mountains. And when we didn’t feel like leaving, the pool and view couldn’t be beat. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.

By far the best vacation rental we’ve ever atayed at
Words cannot express how amazing this place was! It felt like home and and out of this world experience at the same time! Nick and Christine are now family! Coming here during a time when people can’t even smile at each other through their masks(covid-19 2020) the real hugs and connection were just what our family needed while enjoying a peaceful trip away. We are from Montana and still were is awe of the beauty in the this area. The home was so special with wonderful details and luxury touches. It had everything we needed and we felt like royalty. The grounds are out if this world, truly a place where heaven and earth meet. The kids would have never gotten out of the pool if we hadn't made them and adults loved it too at 90 degrees!. We had a blast playing foosball and loved learning boccie ball, but drinks with the hosts was the highlight of the trip. We didn’t know what to expect with hosts on site as this was out first vacation rental with this set up but it was great! We felt we had the run of the grounds and they made themselves scarce most of the time but it was so wonderful to be able to ask questions and they popped up when needed to make sure we felt 100% at home and relaxed with extra blankets, fun stories and lit tiki torches. We will be back!!

Too much to say — we have traveled the world and rented lots of places, and this is the first for which 5 starts is insufficient. The property. The views. The host and hostess. The experience. We hope very much to return.

WOW!!!
Christine and Nick, our vacation at TING was amazing and your place is sensational! We were looking for a place to spend time together before our oldest leaves for college. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and reconnected as a family. You are such gracious hosts and we so enjoyed being part of your special 4th of July party. Thanks for including us! Also Aaron wanted to send a special thanks to Nick for the experience of reading lines with him.

Heaven on earth.
Nick and Christine made us feel like family coming home when we first arrived. They are the most amazing and lovely hosts. Their home is truly heaven on earth. For 3 friends wanting to get away and celebrate friendship, relax and enjoy life we could not have asked for a better retreat. Our only regret is we didn't stay longer. We hope to come back every year, for a longer stay. You have every creature comfort and will not be disappointed in any way. We love the Ting.

We arrived at Heaven!
Words and pictures cannot describe the Ting. It is absolutely breathtaking. The guesthouse, pool, hot tub, putting green, yard, beach area, fire pit, and on. So beautiful and so clean. Every little detail put into decorating this beautiful place. Heart and soul. I am a COVID nurse and have had the most stressful months of my life. The Ting was exactly what I needed. Hosts Nick and Christine go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. We enjoyed songs and jokes around the firepit with them both and had a blast. Some of the nicest most caring people I have ever met. Thank you Nick and Christine for the absolute perfect getaway! We will be in touch!

The property AND the owners are wonderful.
The Ting exceeded our expectations. Nick and Christine welcomed us warmly and gave us a tour of the expansive property, pool, bocce ball, horseshoe and putting green areas, tiki bar, covered gas fire pit, sandy ‘beach’, sauna...the list goes on. Our only regret was that we didn’t seem to have time to take advantage of all the amenities and all the activities Nick and Christine offered to arrange for us. The guesthouse is beautifully constructed and furnished and was impeccably clean. We especially enjoyed an evening spent chatting with our hosts around the fire pit. The Ting and our wonderful hosts far exceeded our expectations and are forever the centerpieces and fond memories of this trip to MT. The Ting could easily become a repeat destination for us ❤️

Montana TING - A little slice of heaven!
We can't say enough good things about Montana TING and the owners, Nick and Christine. Our group included my wife and I, our daughter, her husband and their two boys (ages 7 and 2). While the property speaks for itself...location, fabulous views, lots of space, first class features, pool, hot tub and so on (we were wanting for nothing as far as accommodations); Nick and Christine were the consummate hosts. They made sure all of our questions were answered and pre-planning taken care of well before arrival. While there, they checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed and treated us like a part of their family. To say everything was perfect, would be an understatement. You can not go wrong with this property and I assure you that you will not find two more accommodating hosts than Nick and Christine. We are all looking forward to our next visit to Montana TING.
