Just bring food and personal items.

All of the guest houses sleep 2 to 5 comfortably with a queen size bedroom and either a queen or, 2 or 3 twin beds in the loft. Each has roughly 900 sq feet on the main floor plus the loft.

There are campfire pits located outside each house for your enjoyment any time of the year. Firewood is provided.
(Except in extremely dry conditions.)

During the peak of the fly fishing season (7/1 - 10/1) our houses are generally reserved for those that will be fly fishing or with us. We are happy to rent them in the off season for other activities such as hiking, hunting, biking, nature watching, or just relaxing. Minimum stay is 2 nights.

Drive time from the Guest Ranch to the Kootenai and the
Fly Shop is 15 - 20 minutes. Of course for those that really want
to get away from it all you never have to get back in your car once you are here if that is what you prefer.

Food and other things.

A lot of folks inquire about meals so here's a bit of info.

First off each days fishing includes food while you're out. Lunch or supper, it just depends on what time we're on the water. We've never had any one get off the water hungry! Breakfast can either be made in your guest house or had in town. There is a great home cooked meal place 2 minutes from the fly shop.

For dinner it just really depends on the person. Some folks have had enough while fishing all day and just end the evening with a light snack. Others look forward to a steak on the grill while listening to the creek go by and coyotes howling in the distance. It's up to you. So unless you're totally averse to cooking, food is easy and we've never found it to be a problem for any one.

The small and friendly town of Troy (Pop. 965) is 20 minutes away and offers all of amenities that one could need. Groceries (open 6am till 12 am ), Gas (24 hrs), Restaurants, Taverns, and even a small movie theater. Libby (Pop. <3000) is 30 minutes away. Laundry facilities are also available at the ranch for guest use.

If you are staying or fishing with us here is a list of gear and items that we suggest you bring.

For health and safety reasons all of our guest houses are smoke free environments, smoking is allowed only in outside areas.
Please be careful!

Note: Our guest houses can fill up quickly for the year. But even if they are booked we will be happy to provide assistance in finding comfortable clean lodging elsewhere in the area.
