About this property

Trout House - Amazing Summer and Winter Home on the Shields River

4+ bedrooms, 2.5 bath, 10 acres to fish over 1,000 feet of Shields River! This is a beautiful home to enjoy winter sports or fishing - year round - all while being 10 minutes from lively Livingston!

This completely updated and remodeled home sits on 10 acres with breathtaking mountain views in every direction. Less than 1 hour drive to Yellowstone and a 10 minute drive to Livingston and Clyde Park, this home is the perfect place to feel local, relax, watch wildlife and fish.

In the winter, you can take the backroads to Bridger Bowl Ski Area on the east slope of the Bridger Mountain range. It’s a memorable and beautiful “less traveled” road in Montana well worth the drive (only 33 miles in a car).

Relax on the large deck and enjoy the mountain views and visiting wildlife.

Fish the Shields River on the property or the Yellowstone River just minutes away.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: This gorgeous newly remodeled home is about as perfect as they come! Easily accessed off a paved road with amazing views and opportunity for fishing and wildlife viewing. The home is beautifully furnished and offers lots of privacy! The cabin is located on the Shields River, about 10 minutes from the tiny town of Clyde Park in the Shields River valley, and about 10 minutes from historic and lively Livingston.

BEDROOMS AND BATHS: The home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom has beautiful views, and a king size bed with luxurious bedding for a restful night's sleep. The attached master bathroom has a soaking tub and a large shower. The other upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom off the hall. One of the upstairs bedrooms has 2 single twin beds, and the other has a log queen bed. The bedroom on the other side of the house is connected to a game/media room and has a queen bed, there is also an optional pull out futon.

KITCHEN: The kitchen opens to the dining area and has an electric range and oven, microwave, dishwasher, and all the cookware and serving ware you could need. The dining table seats six and there is also stool seating at the counter.

LIVING ROOM: The cozy living room has a wood burning stove and large windows overlooking the expansive property. The leather furnishings are very tasteful, as well as comfortable. There is a big screen television with satellite as well as some games, puzzles and books for more relaxed entertainment. There are music channels available through the satellite TV, as well as an Amazon Alexa player to play your own music or inquire about the weather.

SETTING, ACREAGE, VIEWS: The home sits on over 10 acres off of Hwy 89 just about 10 minutes north of Livingston. Views of the rugged Crazy Mountains, Absarokas, and Bangtail Mountains is all you can see from the home!

OUTDOOR AMENITIES: The home has a large patio with plenty of outdoor furniture and a gas grill. Bird and wildlife-watching opportunities abound. You will see fox, deer, and plenty of birds (big and small). The fishing is amazing right from the property with multiple pools filled with trout. This is a CATCH AND RELEASE ONLY stream.

2 flat screen tvs, equipped with Dish, high speed internet, a place to hang your fly rods, and all only a few short minutes to the historical city of Livingston and the fun and quaint town of Clyde Park.

For your convenience there is a lock box with key on the pillar by the double doors on the west side of the porch. There is a key for the side door and the front door. You have full access to the home, the acreage surrounding, and most exciting - the world class trout fishing right there on the property! The Shields River is walk /wadable most of the year, or you can fish from the banks, right there at the property. You can watch the neighbors horses from the fence line on the Northside of the home and explore at your leisure the property & river.

Garbage service is not available at this location, there are several places nearby to dispose of your bagged garbage, a map will be provided.

Our stay was so wonderful. We had a family of six adults and four kids, and we all had room to relax, spread out, & have some privacy too. The host made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We 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!!

Beautiful views

The Trout House is a beautiful place. The pictures didn’t do it justice. It’s in a tranquil setting with beautiful Mountain View’s and a pretty creek in the back where we could watch deer, birds, horses and even saw a fox wondering through. I definitely recommend.

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!!!

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.

Highly Recommended

Very clean and well maintained property. Everything you need was at the property just as description says. Very well stocked kitchen with new appliances. Open floor plan for easy traffic flow and coziness. WiFi was a little weak for streaming tv but that is truly the only thing we noticed. Lots to do in the area. We went utv trail riding two days. Lots of public trails within an hour drive. Everything about property is exactly as listed. Deena was very responsive throughout our entire process to include after our stay with follow up information. Thanks Deena! Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a weekend getaway.

The house was comfortable and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the wildlife!

Our experience was great! Just a couple of things that are incorrect in the listing: stove is electric not gas and no A/C... although neither one was an issue. The kitchen could use a few more things like a garlic press, lids to storage containers, skillets (3 had scratches). We had an excellent time and enjoyed the beautiful home!
