Trout Creek Lodge on the Stillwater River

Trout Creek Lodge is a secluded and private residence located along Montana’s beautiful Stillwater River in the heart of South Central Montana’s Beartooth Mountains foothills. With an exclusive easement in and to the 21± acre estate within a large ranch under a perpetual conservation easement, the lodge offers owners the perfect setting to experience tranquility and nature. The two-story, two-bedroom/2.5-bathroom custom log home, built in 1990, sits across a private bridge on a hill overlooking the river, with spectacular views of the Beartooth Mountains.

The property’s defining feature is its live water. Ownership includes both sides of the river as it passes through, along with approximately 2,000 feet of both banks of Trout Creek before it enters the Stillwater. The confluence consistently creates one of the better fishing holes on this stretch of river. Brown trout move into Trout Creek each fall to spawn, while rainbow trout make the same migration each spring.

The upper part of the land is bounded by a 120± acre Bureau of Land Management (BLM) section accessible only to one other neighbor, affording big-game hunting opportunities. This fishing and recreational sanctuary is only 15± minutes from the western river town of Absarokee, 45± minutes from the resort town of Red Lodge, and 1± hour from Montana’s largest city, Billings.

This is the best part of the Stillwater River country. A place where life is slower, the air is sweeter, and the sound of the water splashing over the rocks produces a symphony for the soul. Home to a variety of wildlife, it is not uncommon to see black bears, deer, turkeys, and ruffed grouse at all times in and around the grounds.
