We loved staying at the property. It was quiet, yet centrally located to shops, restaurants, and Seeley Lake. The space was perfect for us and we would always stay here again.
We absolutely LOVED our stay! It was beautiful and the hot tub was amazing. The hosts were so friendly and kind and such great communicators. Very pleased, we will definitely be back!

David and Brenda are extremely friendly and made the entire process from booking to check out completely smooth. They welcomed us when we arrived and we had a great discussion about our trip when we were checking out. Would recommend this place for anyone looking to stay around Seeley Lake.

Scott and his wife were a pleasure to have at our place.
This is becoming our winter getaway. The owners are great and the house is perfect. Close to the lake and stores. Hot tub is perfect after a cold day on the ice.
The place was awesome and Montana is beautiful. The owners actually helped our children feed some deer that were in the area. Overall great experience.

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.

Glad you came, Kenneth! You're welcome back anytime.
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.

About the host
Hosted by David and Brenda Rowell
We have lived in Montana for several decades. We were drawn to Seeley Lake by the years of visiting here for the myriad outdoor sports available. We enjoy helping people experience life fully, so we decided to buy a property here in 2020 as a vacation rental. We owned a smaller vacation rental in Seeley. We sold that one and bought this larger one to accommodate more guests, as well as a home for ourselves. Our goal is to make your stay as special as possible for you with your open private entrance. The home is set up to provide privacy for you and your group, but we are available to help, if needed. When you leave, we hope you will take with you the joy that resides on this property!
Why they chose this property
The beautiful Seeley Vacation Home is secluded on a ridge, but very close to the resort town of Seeley, which is the gateway to unlimited scenic outdoor activities in mountains, lakes, creeks and rivers, trails and more.
What makes this property unique
At the Bears Den there is an awesome view of the forest and majestic mountains right from the home. The best view can be taken in year-round from the deck the hot tub is on. This Seeley Vacation Home is very close to all the reasons people come to this area of Montana for! Even the deer in the yard will make you feel very welcome and special!
Guests often comment how nice the towns people of Seeley Lake are. The service in the several restaurants and stores makes you feel like a valued guest of the area. From the incredible food at Lindey's Prime Steakhouse, to the family-oriented Chicken Coop, or breakfast and lunch at Pops, and several other food venues you will be treated as special guests. You can feel free to use the picnic table for a family meal during the warmer seasons, or enjoy the warmth of the dining table inside.
Rovero's Ace Hardware store is open late and has much more than just hardware. You will find seasonal sporting goods, RV accessories, fuel, and even hot foods. Heritage Sporting Goods also has rental gear. Kurt's Polaris is a well managed dealership with more rentals, available. There are plenty of business owners, including us, who can give you ideas for your adventures.
During the summer, walk up and get in line for the very popular Ice Cream Place. There are several other quaint food venues and tourist shops for you to discover in Seeley Lake. Most of the shops can be walked to from one parking spot and all are only two or three minutes drive from the beautiful ridge that holds the secluded Bears Den! A smaller second unit, the Whitetail View, is available, as well.
