About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Extraordinary riverfront home in the heart of the Big Hole Valley.
The Trout House is 2 short miles from the quaint town of Wise River. As seen in my photos, there are 3 delightful bedrooms - 2 king bedrooms (Master has a fireplace, en-suite and balcony with a river view) upstairs and one accessible Queen bedroom downstairs. There is also a Trundle bed (2 twins) in a common area upstairs that is more open and a queen sofa sleeper in the sunroom downstairs. This spacious, enchanting house also features 3 bathrooms with luxurious amenities like a bidet and jetted bathtub. The open concept kitchen allows everyone to gather in the living room, dining room and sunroom comfortably without feeling closed off or crowded. Off of the dining room through the French doors, sits a large, cozy screened in porch with ample seating, a Blackstone grill + a gas fireplace. The porch is just steps away from the river, and if you want to know what they are biting on, the people floating by will be happy to tell you. Make your holiday one for the books with a stay at our place, you will never forget the experience! There are gorgeous views of the river and mountains in almost every room in the house!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub, hair dryers, and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

We had an incredible stay at the Trout House. It was so good, we extended an extra week! As a family of four (two adults, two kids), we found entertainment in both the house and its location. Front-door fishing, easy access to float launches, side-by-side trails, nightly campfires, and a quick hop to the stores, restaurants, and bars in Wise River meant every day was packed with fun.We also can’t say enough about Rene, our host. She was responsive, thoughtful, and went out of her way to accommodate every request we had.We’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in SW Montana.
