Skiing Lost Trail
Our group spent Presidents Day weekend skiing at Lost Trail. We chose the Riverhouse due to its great location to Lost Trail and the ratings it has received. Both items fit as advertised. The house was clean and a great accommodation for our small group. The convenience to Lost Trail was as good as it gets. Watching elk each day from the living room window is a definite bonus. This will be our first choice for our next trip to Lost Trail.

A must stay!!!
This cabin is everything and more! The breathtaking views of mountains and river are stunning. The only thing that would have made it better is reserving fishing gear ahead of time. We got lost in the beauty of the property and land that we forgot!! This is a must stay!

Have stayed at the Riverhouse numerous times and it gets better everytime. If you are looking for a great place that’s clean, comfortable, quiet and on the river you can’t do better than the Riverhouse. Whatever your pleasure: read a book, fish, shop in a small town there is something for everyone. We had a great time doing all three.

Great location
My wife and I stayed at the riverhouse in late August and my daughter and grandson visited with us for 5 days of our 2 week stay. The pictures tell it all. Beautiful location, great fishing and lots to do in the area. The home is very functional and the kitchen is well equiped for cooking and dining. Working with the owner was easy and the few minor issues we had were resolved easily. We hope to return and stay again

Peaceful retreat
Absolutely amazing quiet vacation we needed. From Montana but did a staycation this year for our family summer vacation and will definitely book again. Went on the senic drive suggested by owner and seen the big horn sheep about 10miles up. Great communication with owner. It was nice our 14yr old could fish right in front of the deck while I sat and read my book.

Great property in an unbelievable setting. Keith is a great communicator and full of valuable information. We enjoyed all aspects of our stay (fishing, sight seeing, hiking, exploring nearby towns), but most enjoyed relaxing by the river and watching big horn sheep and bald eagles. We will be back.

Fantastic Stay in a Breathtaking Cabin
The Riverhouse cabin is just a spectacular spot on the Bitterroot River. We enjoyed the solitude, stars, wildlife not only here, but in the surrounding area. Trips to Salmon, ID, the Big Hole Battlefield and the Jackson Hot Spring were some of our adventures this week. The mountain vistas over the passes were gorgeous. Best spot on the River to relax, read and enjoy nature at its best!

So much good to say! The house is immaculate and very well appointed. The fishing was good and fun. The area was absolutely beautiful and the wildlife was a joy to see. I would recommend The Riverhouse very highly. We were sad to have to leave. The owners were so kind and truly wonderful to talk to. A huge thank you to the Lee’s!! Rich and Vicki

Everything as described. Just sitting on the deck watching the river flow is extremely relaxing. Even better with a drink in hand. Fishing close to the house. Watching the stars. Very comfortable stay. Very hard to leave. Keith will take care of any questions you might have.

Spectacular Bitterroot
As expected, this was a top-notch vacation for everyone in the party. The views all around are outstanding, and there is much to do and see in the local area, though it was really hard to leave the back porch for very long. We appreciate the care and comfort of the house, and we hope to visit again.

Total Tranquility on the East Fork
We fly fish.This house is right in the middle of outstanding access to great fishing. And that starts a few steps from the back porch to cast into the river! Rainbow, Cut Throat, Brown trout right on the property. It’s centrally located to fish East and West Fork, Upper Bitterroot, and various creeks. 20 minutes to the quaint Western town of Darby for groceries and good food. The wildlife watching in the area was exceptional. Doe and fawn in front yard every morning, beavers, elk, Big Horn Sheep, so many birds to watch from the deck. The house is set up for anything you could possibly need. Very clean and extremely comfortable. The owner was terrific helping with our fly fishing questions. We enjoyed the Knotty Nymph, Big Cat, and Little Blue Joint restaurants for dinner. We ordered a meat/cheese tray, breakfast pastries, and a dessert tray as well as their amazing breads from The Red Rooster Artisan Bakery in Hamilton to make our packed lunches every day. I can’t say enough good things about both their food and customer service. The People’s Food in Darby has really good fried chicken and deli selections for a picnic. We had a wonderful week. We highly recommend this property. It’s wonderful. Book it right now….
