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 screen tv 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.
