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.

But probably most notable is that we do more than just rent a ten star property. We help our guests with everything from most trusted guides and proven fly patterns to discount boat rentals and river intel -- just ask us and we "got a guy" to help make your trip great.

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.

Felt like home
My crew of buddies all commented this was one of the best fishing/hunting homes they've stayed in. A well stocked kitchen including things you typically forget to bring (ziplocks, detergent, etc). Great mattresses, nice towels and even a DVD collection! Felt like home.....

Sacred Waters | Fantastic Property
We had never been on the Big Horn River or been to Fort Smith. This property and its owners made our visit perfect. Very comfortable home with all our needs covered. We loved it and would absolutely rent from them again. Great instructions and very simple to utilize all aspects involved. Did I mention the access to some of the best trout fishing in the country was a double bonus? Loved it.
