Comfortable accommodations with fishing access to the Gallatin River
Our family enjoyed our stay at the TroutChasers Suite. The wade fishing on the Gallatin was excellent, and we enjoyed a campfire near the river. The property is scenic and relaxing, and the accommodations were comfortable.
This was our second time staying at TroutChasers and it didn’t disappoint! The accommodations of the Montana/Yellowstone room were great with comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms that were clean and hard toiletries.
, tiny well stocked kitchen
We stayed in the Yellowstone and Madison rooms and both were lovely. The kitchen was well furnished, the beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean. A lovely quiet place to spend a couple of days with family. Hope to return again in the future. Thanks!
This place was super clean and the owners thought of everything to make this a comfortable stay. They provided excellent details on how to get there, options for the area and closest grocery among other things. Would recommend thsi place to anyone.
We enjoyed 3 nights at this amazing property right on the Gallatin River. Julie is a wonderful host, we stayed in the 2 bedroom suite which was perfect for our family of 4. Very clean, comfy beds, nice kitchenette, quiet, close to Bozeman. Must try Coffee Pot for pastries and coffee. Stacy’s for dinner! My son and husband enjoyed their fly fishing excursion very much! We will be back hopefully next year for longer!
The rentals are great, the property is even better. Peaceful, yet convenient to Bozeman. We did a fly fishing lesson and did it right there on the property. I've never seen a river like this. Our family had the best time fishing. Julie was also good with communication prior to our trip, as I had a few questions during the booking process. Recommended
Absolutely wonderful VRBO. The property exceeded our expectations: probably one of the top 3 I have ever visited! Host communicative, easy check-in, top cleanliness, quiet, beautiful, nature, and sweet little extra touches. Consider yourself blessed if there is a vacancy :) As with everything in summer, the only caveat? There is currently road construction. Make sure to pay attention entering and exiting from the property.
The only thing that could have made our stay at TroutChasers better is if it had been longer! We traveled to MT to attend a wedding, and turned it into a family vacation. The suite was an ideal "home base" for my husband and myself, as well as our 2 teen sons. There was plenty of space and privacy (and bathrooms!) for everyone. The property is beautiful and peaceful. We were conveniently located to both the wedding venue in Bozeman, as well as Yellowstone National Park. (A must-see!) Because of our jam-packed schedule we didn't spend a lot of time on location, but every moment we were there was relaxing and restful. While our go-go-go itinerary didn't allow us to cross paths in person, Julie was a wonderful and attentive hostess. We will absolutely stay at TroutChasers should we be fortunate enough to visit Montana again.
We seemed to have everything we needed. Very clean. Host said she was available, but we didn't need anything. Great location for the airport, Big Sky, Bridger Bowl, anything in Bozeman, actually. Quiet area.
Many accolades for providing an excellent VRBO. I'm a repeat customer and will continue to be a repeat customer. The place meets or exceeds expectations. Thanks for everything and for helping make our annual trip a great event.
Everything here is very nice and super clean (looks new). Julie is very nice and accomodating. The location is close to Big Sky and Bozeman without any traffic or noise. Beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.
The suite was very nice! Clean with quaint decor and the kitchen had all the basics we needed. The Lodge is not far from restaurants and shopping and is on the Gallatin River which was beautiful. We booked a guided fly fishing excursion and our guide Jason made my first time fly fishing less intimidating and I was able to land several fish! He was able to give my husband pointers in his technique that had him hauling in an abundance of trout. The packed lunch that Julie supplied was farm fresh and delicious! Both Julie and Jason are warm and welcoming and were enjoyable to talk to. We will definitely return!

Property was as described, clean and looks new! No complaints, just make sure have good GPS so you don't miss it. Highly recommended!!!
Staying at Troutchasers Lodge added to our Montana experience! What could be better than having s'mores next to a woodland cabin along the Gallatin River? The rooms were spotless and much better equiped that any hotel. The owners were super friendly and available for any questions.
On the map this property may look a bit off the beaten path, but the 18 minute drive to MSU is on a beautifully scenic road (Blackwood)...don't miss it!
