There is a beverage fridge, library, music system, coffee service, microwave, toaster, plates, flatware, glasses, cups, spices, telephone, sun deck and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The abundance and variety of wildlife is what makes this Rocky Mountain location so exceptional. Bring your binoculars and camera. Depending on the season, you'll have the opportunity to see mule deer, elk, wolves, mountain goats, big horn sheep, white tail deer, bear, moose, and mountain lion.

There are numerous bird species in Paradise Valley including, American bald and golden eagles, owls, hawks, falcons, wading birds, four species of hummingbird, and many song birds, including the Montana state bird, the melodious western meadowlark. As the seasons change so do the vistas and activities available to Trout House guests. In the Spring, migratory birds return, newly born calf elk appear on the mountain, the first tiny wildflowers bloom, and the streams open for fishing in late May. As Summer unfolds, the meadows turn to green, elk and deer are minding their young, rodeo season is under way, floating the wild Yellowstone River is enjoyed, and horseback riding and hiking are always fun with wildflowers in full bloom. Anglers enjoy superb flyfishing on Nelson's, DePuy and Armstrong Spring Creeks. The many area streams hold abundant and beautifully colored Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout and the fabled waters of Yellowstone Park are a 30 minute drive.

With Fall approaching and the days getting shorter, the elk are bugling, the bears feast on apples, plums, mushrooms and late summer berries, tomatoes ripen, the hummingbirds head south, the cottonwoods and aspens slip on their golden coats, anglers enjoy casting streamers in the Yellowstone, the nights are cooler and the flannel sheets and wool blankets are welcomed. When winter sets in and snow is on the mountain, the squirrels, finches and chickadees cluster at the feeder, elk by the hundreds graze the foothills, skiers head for the slopes or the back country, fireplaces warm the toes, and luxuriating in the spa with stars so brilliant in the cold clear skies make for the end of a perfect day. Trout House guests have private access to over a million acres of public land, including those in the Gallatin National Forest and the Absaroka/Beartooth Wilderness. There are trails to hike, peaks to climb, pristine areas to explore and world famous fly fishing. It doesn't get any better.
