Seeley Lake Vacation Home is on 7.5 wooded acres on top of a scenic ridge. The Bears Den is a well furnished Montana modern-rustic decor basement floor with eye-level windows on two sides. The decor creates a `be-at-home` Montana atmosphere. We live on the property. We are at your service, but respect your privacy.
Living room windows provide view of regular deer visits in the yard. There is a fully equipped kitchen, with full-size appliances and dining table. The large living room with a TV, leather couch, chair and ottoman, full bear mount and a work desk creates a peaceful feel for your vacation. One bathroom with a shower.
The two bedrooms continue the `Montana home` atmosphere, including a total of two log queen beds, a twin log bunk and another twin log bed. One room sleeps four and the other sleeps three people. The eastern bedroom has a window overlooking the Swan Mountain range. You have free access to a washer and dryer on site with a little notice.
You`ll have your own private propane grill. Two guest-shared shared picnic tables, benches, swing, glider, and a corn hole game. The yard can all be used by guests in the scenic yard. There is a hot tub with a spectacular mountain range view! (It can be used privately on a fist-come, first-served basis by guests.) The yard is shared, but mostly just with friendly photogenic whitetail deer. They occasionally cause voluntary plan delays when one or more guests want to visit with them! Especially youngsters. (I must admit, we do encourage that `problem.`)
They are cautious of people, but sometimes fight, play and chase each other. Be careful about spacing, especially with children to avoid accidental contact. An occasional bear sighting can occur in any area of Seeley Lake, but they keep their distance from people. You are welcome to take a short walk down to a private access to Morrell Creek adjacent to the property.
Seeley Lake, Montana is a beautiful, friendly resort mountain town, surrounded by pristine mountains, a fish-filled string of lakes, river and mountain streams. Relax at the home after a day of adventure, enjoy an evening of solitude and quiet serenity overlooking the Swan Mountains.
Reserve either or both of the two private access spaces in our home as your convenient base. It is 1/2 mile from the groomed snowmobile, ATV and hiking/biking trailheads. The place is 3 miles from Double Arrow Golf Course and 3/4 mi from a forested 18 hole disc golf course.
You`ll have close access to everything you come to Seeley Lake for! It is your Seeley Lake Vacation Home while you fish, boat, hunt, snowmobile, pick huckleberries (July), hike, water ski, jet ski, cross-country ski, or just enjoy the amazing scenery. Four seasons of mountain and lake adventures!
There is plenty of paved and snow plowed parking, including room for ATV/snowmobile trailers. Space off property for large trailer parking can be arranged, if needed. In the winter, snowmobiles may be used around Seeley Lake. The entire basement floor is yours. The entire side yard and backyard are for guests to use. Hot tub use is for one rental unit at a time. The hot tub lid being up on the lift vertically provides privacy and indicates to other guests that someone is using it.
We live in the large home and we are people persons. We will respect your privacy, but welcome communication with you. Guests are welcome to use my cell phone to text or call. Feel free to reach out. We will do whatever we can do make your stay even more special.
