Beautiful home and very clean. Tastefully decorated and spacious. Had all the amenities we could have ever needed. As someone coming from the east coast to visit, it was the perfect place to experience all Montana has to offer. Mountain and adjacent river views are incredible. We felt like we were “ away from it all”, but only took 20 minutes to get to downtown Livingston. Highly recommended.

Trout house

The trout house was everything we hoped it would be and more. The location is amazing and perfect to experience the area and the river. The house is big and roomy and spacious and the bonus room over the garage is a nice plus for an extra family or a teenager to give them space. We had a great time and would love to stay again.

Gorgeous location

This house is absolutely beautiful and in the most amazing location. The house was perfect for us. The only down side was the internet didn't work for us so we couldn't use Netflix or anything while we were there (tried resetting it but still didn't work) other than that it was a perfect stay and would 100% recommend.

Beautiful House!!

Do yourself a favor and stay in this house!! The house itself is absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. We had a family of 8 and had plenty of room. We were able to cook breakfast in the morning and then head out for the day. It is within about 1 hour of Yellowstone National Park, which is the reason we were in the area. Thanks again for a great stay!!

Perfect

Our second time staying at the Trout House, and house was just as great as 3 years ago! We extended our stay to two weeks and had no problems doing so. (October 18” snow and property mgt. came and cleared the driveway) Convenient to everything and very quiet private location! Great access to River too! This home is exceptionally clean and well taken care of! I look forward to returning to Montana and if we do we will be back to the Trout House!!!

Perfect, comfortable and very convenient for our needs!

This home is exactly as describe, if not better! It was very clean and very tastefully decorated and comfortable! There were only 3 adults so the house was plenty big. It is in a very private and quiet location. The views of the surrounding mountains were amazing. The access to the Shields River was great and so was the fishing! We would and will rent this property again without hesitation! The road work that was nearby was no problem at all and was near completion when we continued on our trip. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful property!!!

Wonderful views and in the heart of fly fishing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is well appointed and nestled on the banks of the Shields however it is hard to access from this location due to a steep bank however if you are a fisherman you can figure it out! Rooms are comfy, bbq is not very large, kitchen is wonderful but could use some serving platters and larger pots for bigger groups. Definitely recommended.

Trout Fishing 2021

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was truly amazing-the location was perfect for fishing the boulder river, yellow stone and the galatin. The house was beautiful-very comfortable with a relaxed atmosphere that made myself and my three sons feel at home. The fishing was not great because of the low waters, but the house and Livingston made up for it- we enjoyed the breweries-the wine and cheese shop- the meat market-and fly shops. We cooked all our meals at the house in the well laid out kitchen. We would definitely recommend this house and would rebook if we fish anywhere in the area. THANKS to the owners for making our stay so enjoyable.
