I originally gave this experience a pretty nice review and a four-star rating. I spent $2000 for…read morea one-week stay and had a great time. I am now subtracting a star because two and a half years later the rental agent takes issue with my four-star review claiming that I am "inaccurate." There are no inaccuracies in my post. We had a great time although we have several small quibbles about the property manager which kept this from being a five-star experience. I even left out the part about how the website says "pets allowed." When we arrived with our dogs the manager was SHOCKED. She actually told us to keep our dogs inside so the owner of the house who lives next door wouldn't see them. Dogs inside in July in Montana? Are you kidding me? (We did keep them up on the deck most of the time because there were lots of deer and we did not want to disturb them). If the website is as detailed and accurate as you say it is, it would have specified a pet policy other than just "pets allowed." It didn't. It still doesn't. This is on you, not us. As I said, it was a beautiful home and a fabulous location! It was money well spent. But the rental agent lacks communication skills and is not overly adept at being hospitable. The pet conditions were vague. If she didn't tell us to take our trash then she has really poor communication skills because both my sister-in-law and I heard her say to take our trash. And no, it was not clear that ALL the bedrooms in the house had twin beds and the only queens were together in the loft. (How does anyone expect to rent out a vacation home with such idiotic sleeping arrangements if they are described accurately?) It is too bad that this business owner denied my comments had any validity or were even accurate. A smart business person appreciates a four-star review especially if it has a bit of constructive feedback. Anyways, I do not appreciate being POKED for giving a four star review. Upon reflection, perhaps my review WAS inaccurate. I have revised my star rating accordingly. I was (not) surprised to see that the size of the Trout Bum portfolio has been drastically reduced to five properties. The house we rented is no longer being managed by them either. And if you look at their five star reviews, every single one of them is from a user who wrote their review shortly after this date and have written no other reviews ever in the five ensuing years. "Fishy."

Operating throughout mainly the western USA, Cliff Reed trucks deliver and move just about anything. His rigs are so "STRAC" from the military (STrategic, Ready, Around the Clock) that I was certain that Cliff was former military. Not so as I discovered. He is simply a guy that has worked hard to develop a professional image and maintains it. I have talked with some of the drivers and they speak highly of Cliff and his operation as being fair and decent. Look for his rigs and wave. The drivers wave back.

Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Best of all was the hot tub on the deck. where we could relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the stars.

It costs $14/night and features picnic tables, fire pits with grills, vault toilets, trash pickup and hand pump well water. The river is an easy walk. This is a good place for tent camping, though there are campers and trailers there as well though no hookups. Gas, a few provisions and restaurant food are available just up the road at the Lochsa Lodge but if you want real groceries you need to go over Lolo Pass and into Missoula around 50 miles each way. There's no cell phone service. There's a modest amount of separation between most sites around the perimeter, and many of the big trees are cedars. Though the road is nearby, traffic tapers off to almost nothing after dark. It's a popular road for motorcycles so the Harley riders are making most of the noise. The occasional westbound trucker will hit the jakes if feeling mean. On the whole, very peaceful and quiet except Friday and Saturday nights and mostly occupied by people going fly fishing along the river.
