For an authentic Montana experience, c'mon out to the Lazy Trout! It's a cozy, comfortable little house which sits on one acre about 7 miles out of Lolo, Montana. Lolo Creek runs through the middle of the property, which is just a few feet out the back door. It provides a great view, memorable moments and quality entertainment

The house is furnished nicely and well stocked with plenty of kitchen utensils and pots and pans. The living room has a nice view of the water and a big screentv with Dish Satelite, dvd/cd player, amp and speakers. There is a comfy king bed in the master overlooking the creek and a nice queen log bed in the 2nd bedroom.

Being 7 miles into the mountains from Lolo, there is limited cell service, but internet is available. Traveler’s Rest Country store or Roper’s Bar & Casino is just 3 minutes down the road should you need any solid cell and WiFi along with convenient store items.

Downstream ten minutes away is the Lolo Steakhouse, Lolo Creek Distillery, Lolo Brewery and Traveler’s Rest State Park and Interpretive Center, where Lewis & Clark camped out. Or journey up south to see what all Stevi, Hamilton and the Bitterroot River have to offer. The Blackfoot and Clark Fork Rivers are close and Rock Creek, the world famous blue ribbon trout stream is only 20 miles east down I90 from Missoula.

The fishing here and around Missoula is very good in season (the 3rd Saturday in May thru Nov 30) for native cuts, rainbows, brookies and brown trout. Spring and fall are prime. On and near the property are nice stretches of water to fish, up and downstream. There is a nice spot which eddies out back of the house, perfect fishing for all ages. If the fish aren’t biting, it works great as a swimming hole to cool off in, or just sit around the fire pit and Lazy Trout Bar & Grill and listen to the creek go by.

Upstream is another world famous (Lumber)Jack Saloon, just 12 minutes away into the mountains, or enjoy a horseback trail ride or a soak at Lolo Hot springs- less than a half hour up the road. There’s also two other natural hot springs nearby-Jerry Johnson and Wier. Google them, they’re extraordinary. Just over the pass, the Lochsa River offers salmon and steelhead fishing and serious whitewater rafting.

This area is not only fishes, but hunts well. Plenty of big game, turkeys, grouse and then some. We’re also close to major snowmobile trails and cross country ski areas, and there are plenty of logging roads and trailheads for hiking and biking.

So c’mon out to the Lazy Trout! A great place to relax with friends or family, or use as a base camp for further exploration of the Missoula, The Lewis and Clark Trail, or the Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness.

We are in a great location for all seasons with convenient highway access, and just 14 miles from Missoula. Southern exposure means plenty of sun, with room for campers and a small trailer or two. Events considered.

    the property was very nice and the host extremely friendly. Recommendations on local attractions were provided and we were even provided a refund for one night when we needed to leave earlier than expected.

    Excellent location with everything you need all right there. We were repeatedly surprised by how prepared the host was providing everything you could possibly think of. Never had to run into town for supplies. Absolutely stunning surroundings. Out of the way while still being close enough to town.

    The house was very accommodating, and was stocked with all of the supplies. We didn’t even know we needed! The host went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great stay. Would be a great place to go in the summer, and would be a pet friendly as well.

    The house was just as imagined. We were worried about it being really close to the road but the sound of the river seemed to drown out any road noise. It was the best location for us. We had zero cell service (but was able to connect to the WiFi), which was an absolute God send. It seems our phones are constantly going off so the quiet was much needed! The fire pit, the weather, the changing of the trees….the perfect get away for us! Thank you for sharing your little slice of Heaven!

    The Lazy Trout was a perfect getaway for our family. It's clean, cozy, and comfortable indoors and the scenery is beautiful outdoors. There's plenty to do if you like the outdoors like your own personal zip line which crosses Lolo creek or grilling hot dogs on the deck. Fishing, floating or just watching for wildlife from the outdoor bar creekside. We hope to be visiting the Lazy Trout for years to come.

    Rick’s place was wonderful, and he was a fantastic host. He talked fishing with the husband, accommodated our last-minute booking, and was available for questions. His house had a great yard, and it was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the river every night. Everything was clean, and I loved the outdoorsy decor, comfy blankets, comfortable furniture, and patio. Great place to unwind!

    If you’ve ever needed a few days to rest and relax to the sound of a river with a cozy stew cooking on the stove for dinner, all while enjoying a good book. This is that perfect spot. Look no further.
