Located on the banks of one of the finest trout rivers in the country, the Flatwater Lodge features a beautiful main lodge, a guest cabin, and spacious outdoor deck areas arranged only a few steps from the running water of the mighty Missouri River.

The two-story 4,000 square foot lodge was thoughtfully designed for hosting anglers or doubles as a family retreat and can sleep up to ten guests comfortably with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The spacious open kitchen concept features classic vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and stainless-steel commercial appliances and is adjacent and open to the living room and dining room areas where friends and family gather. Large windows give up views of the water, and French doors lead to two outdoor deck areas, where you can sit back and take in the sights and sounds of the river after a long day of dry-fly fishing. The lodge is offered turnkey and includes the desirable artwork and furnishings. In addition to the main home, the adjacent guest cabin allows room for extra guests and provides storage for all your toys and gear.
