Bears Den. Secluded. Hot Tub: Spectacular view.

Brief Description:
*The Bears Den is a large, well designed area with a private entrance.
* One of two private areas available at the same home.
*About a half mile from Seeley Lake. 1/4 mile from trail head.
*Two queen log beds and three twin log beds.
*Full kitchen with full-size appliances, cooking supplies and dining area.
* Wifi and Firestick TV with Amazon Prime subscription.
*Picnic table, propane grill, hammock, hot tub with a spectacular mountain range view!
*Driveway and huge parking area snow plowed regularly in winter.
*Plenty of space for parking several trailers.
*Access to Morrell Creek adjacent to property.

Our home is on 7.5 wooded acres on top of a scenic ridge. The Bears Den was remodeled in 2021. The space is a well furnished basement floor with eye-level windows on two sides. One bedroom has a window view of the mountain range. There is a fully equipped kitchen, with full-size appliances and dining table. The large living room with a TV, leather couch, recliner, full bear mount and a work desk creates a wonderful atmosphere for your vacation. One bathroom with shower.

There is plenty of paved parking, including room for ATV/snowmobile trailers. In the winter, snowmobiles may be used around Seeley Lake.

We are people persons. Guests are welcome to use my cell phone to text or call. We will respect your privacy, but welcome communication with you. Feel free to reach out. We will do whatever we can do make your stay even more special.
Neighboring homes cannot be seen from this home. Just State and National Forests, and "The Bob" Marshall Wilderness Area.

During winter, snow mobiles can be used on the roads.

Pets, including service animals, are not allowed because there could be conflicts with other animals on the property. We have a herd of very friendly deer that spend a lot of time in and around the yard. Some will even allow you to touch them. That is a very positive experience for many of our guests. We would be glad to help you safely enjoy that experience.

We only rarely see bears (never grizzlies) and mountain lions, but we have seen them in the yard. They avoid people, but they are natural "hunters" and sometimes kill pets around town. For these reasons, as well as potential allergy problems, we do not accept animals, including service animals, on the property.

You are welcome to contact us to discuss any of the above. We love to communicate with our guests, if desired, as well as potential guests! We look forward to serving you on our beautiful property!

There are two private vacation spaces in this home. We live in one separated section.
1. Bears Den (Large daylight basement with private access and covered parking space.)

2. Whitetail View (Upstairs with private access and covered parking space.)

Great stay w/wonderful hosts. Accommodations were updated, very clean and had everything we needed for our time there. Had the ability to cook with all kitchen necessities. Great place for a family of 4 -7 pp. Beat part was the wildlife, they have deer that visit multiple times per day., so fun! Thanks again Brenda and David!

Amazing views from the hot tub
Dave and Brenda were great hosts. The Bears Den is very spacious and cute. The location was perfect. As listed it is secluded on the top of a hill. The views from the hot tub were amazing! It was a short drive to downtown Seeley Lake and cross country ski trails.

Vrbo website was not terribly user friendly regarding this property. It was unclear that the owners would automatically charge my credit card for the second and final payment. I had to reach out to the owners on the day before arrival to get info on check-in procedure. Once there however, it was a perfect place to stay. Quiet. Secluded. Beautiful.

We had a relaxing time at Dave and Brenda’s property. We enjoyed the local sites around Seeley Lake since they were all so close. We would definitely stay again. Loved my massage on the deck listening to the birds and stream.
