We truly enjoyed this beautiful place. We stayed here and drove to Glacier and the hot tub was the best gift to come back to! The views are amazing, the deer are so friendly, and the hosts are wonderful!

The hosts were excellent and the property was very nice and clean.
Great place. Close to town yet peaceful location. Owners very responsive and accommodating. Had a deer greet us at the stairs to our room. Would definitely stay again!
Excellent property. I’ve already booked it for next year. Check-in was so easy. Entire place was spotless. Hosts were very receptive and available. Quiet, relaxing, and easy to find. I look forward to staying there next year.
Comfortable beds, kitchen facilities were adequate, and the host, David, was very responsive, quick to assist and polite. We didn’t use the hot tub so I cannot comment on that feature. But we were very pleased with the location and the accommodations of this property. We will be back!
The place was clean, the property owners were so nice and very attentive on messaging about the property. My niece and I stayed here while in town for a family function and it was so convenient and close to town and the lake. Beautiful views to sit on the deck and have your coffee in the morning. I would highly recommend!
We had everything we needed! The hosts were kind and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again and would suggest it to anyone we know who needs a place to stay in the Seely Lake area! I have a bad back and appreciated the quality and firmness of the bed. Plus the hot tub was a really nice bonus!
We visited Seely to go boating and waterski with friends. The location was perfect to go back and forth to the lake. The unit was the perfect size, clean and quiet. The hosts were very friendly and prompt communication.
The upstairs apartment was lovely. Only thing missing was a coffee scoop, and they probably had one somewhere. The view was beautiful, deer wandering nearby too. We had a good visit and even shared a meal.
