Bighorn River fly fishing - Lake bass fishing - Waterfowling - Sleeps 2 - 8

There is a reason that this property is rated “10/10 Exceptional” over the past seven years. You cannot find a house in Ft. Smith that offers as comfort – so much room, quality beds, leather furniture, open mountain views and kitchen amenities that the TroutHouse in Ft. Smith does – all only a quick walk from the fly shops, gas station and convenience store. And you can stay connected with the fastest wireless signal in Ft. Smith from its Starlink satellite dish.

This property was set up by owners who know Montana and what it takes to have a great day on the water or in the field. Directly put, it’s a first-class ticket for coach fare when you want to do a trip right. It’s an impeccably maintained home just 2 blocks south of the fly shops and Yellowtail Market on HWY 313 in Fort Smith.

The TroutHouse is located only ½ mile from the Bighorn River launch Afterbay boat ramp and even closer to the entrance of the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, near the Yellowtail Dam.

The house sleeps eight (six beds), featuring 3 bedrooms – 2 queen beds and two pairs (4 beds) of sturdy twin XL bunk beds (1/2 of king size). It has 2 full bathrooms, and a washer/dryer in the mud/wader room. The mud room is set up to easily take off your gear and dry out your waders and hunting clothes overnight. If you need to stay connected to the office, the house has a second monitor, office chair, and desk to give you a comfortable space to do what you need.

The cabin features a large party deck with lots of patio furniture for outside lounging, a propane Weber grill, and a rod and gear utility shed if additional secure storage is needed during your stay. There is ample parking for 6 vehicles and the circle driveway makes it easy to manage boat trailers.

This property has a fully equipped kitchen, relaxing family room with HDTV, DVD player, MP3 compatible stereo and plenty of private space throughout house. Central heating and A/C ensure your stay will comfy regardless of the season. The house’s high speed dedicated wireless internet (90mg per second) service offers guests’ unlimited access to streaming and a wide selection of digital content.

We look forward to hosting you on your next trip to the Bighorn.

Would have been perfect if WiFi worked
Nice place and great location for fly fishing. The house was stocked with everything you might need. It would have been a perfect stay had the WiFi worked. With elderly parents, it was tough to not be able to be in contact. If you need WiFi you might confirm with property manager that it is indeed working.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Trout House. Everything worked as it was supposed to and the kitchen is WELL-appointed with high-quality utensils. The location is perfect for activities on the Bighorn River. The owner is super-friendly and very responsive. The Trout House was immaculately clean when we arrived. Will definitely stay here again for many years to come.

I had stayed at this place before and that was part of the reason I came back. There are three small things that would improve a persons stay. Front door could only be locked from inside. Bear Proof garbage can was not easy to ope.,Copper frying pans were useless. Everything stuck to them!

Quiet, remote location near Bighorn Canyon in southern MT
Amazing location in remote Montana! Very clean home with EVERYTHING you might need! Dog friendly with plenty of room for the dogs to run out back. Very close to water for paddleboarding, fishing and kayaking! The small town store is also well stocked for last minute needs and is open daily! Eddy, the owner was amazing! Answered all of our questions before we arrived and during our stay! He was super helpful and truly thought of everything when preparing this home for visitors. We would stay here again!
