FAQ

Seeley Lake and the surrounding area is the natural habitat of many wild creatures.  We pride ourselves in sharing these habitats with our wild friends.  Our on-site wetland habitat is home to many birds, bats, ducks, otters and beavers and so many more wonderful animals.  It is our hope that you have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of these friends while respecting them and their home. 

While visiting The Lodges on Seeley Lake, please remember that many species of wildlife call this special place home, you may encounter creatures that you don’t see when at home.  Many are very curious so it is our recommendation that you keep all doors closed and do not open windows that do not have screens.  Keeping your cabin free of unwelcome visitors is your responsibility, take care to keep our wild things wild.

Montana Resort

This place has everything to make your vacation unforgettable. There are numerous activities to enjoy, such as hiking and kayaking. However, we ended up staying put because we loved relaxing by the lake with its stunning view. The cabins and surrounding area are beautifully designed with great attention to detail.

“Absolutely loved my stay here for work. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the boats and other recreational equipment that was free of charge to use. This included a motor boat, kayaks, and canoes. The cabins were spacious and clean. The best part though, the views. Highly recommend this place.”

Brian and Kerry Bertsch

Brian and Kerry, who own the Lodges, both grew up in the Pacific Northwest. It is Kerry whose Montana connection began in deepest childhood, its remembered joy arising from her unforgettable summers on a beautiful ranch near Ovando. When she and Brian learned that a lakeside resort was for sale, the temptation was hard to resist, for by this time they'd discovered that they shared an unusual bond -- in Kerry's case a conviction of the value of such joy, in Brian's a reverent nostalgia for the golden summers he knew as a boy at a resort on Puget Sound. That the two of them felt driven to give to other people the sense of sheer wellbeing they'd once experienced themselves became the guiding spirit of the occupation they chose. It is their fondest hope that what you take away with you from the Lodges on Seeley Lake will rival such experience -- its playfulness, its comfort, its happiness, its peace.

Vicki Voegelin

Having lived in the Black foot Valley for over 25 years, Vicki has built the reputation of a much-admired gourmet cook, caterer and event planner. In possession of a sterling list of satisfied clients, she has even attained that level of celebrity which makes one an object of envy. In addition to having started a popular local restaurant, she founded Seeley Lake's Farmers' Market, an endeavor that has not only made her professionally conversant with the region's ranchers, farmers and wine specialists but has enabled her to establish the necessary contacts for expertly planned events. Adept at achieving the ideal atmosphere for any-sized social gathering, she grasps the nuance that is needed to put every guest at ease.

Katrina Gennis

Born in Moscow, Russia, Katrina possesses what one imagines to have been the physical beauty of Anna Karenina. With an education whose rigors led all of her family’s siblings to impressive levels of professional distinction, she spent her first adult decade in Russia as an administrator in import and finance. After moving to the United States, she found that this early experience, coupled with her affinity for languages, made her eminently employable in America as well. In the time since she joined our resort, she has proven once again that the rapid learning ability she brings to each new thing she tries was destined to make her youthful success a self-fulfilling prophecy. Her seamless absorption into our business team at the Lodges was virtually inevitable and long ago guaranteed her value as one of its pivotal members.

Carol Evans

Carol, our first native Montanan on the Lodges' developing staff, was integral to the founding of the resort you see today. Melding her own experience in the world of hospitality with the demands of a business in the process of creation, she has helped to fuel this creation in ways too numerous the mention. Whether it was painting walls, staining wood, chinking logs, answering phones, sewing logos, handling office work or simply treating the owners' family with signature generosity, her expenditure of effort on behalf of us all has always been utterly selfless. As emotionally available to those around her as she is physically helpful, she long ago came to personify for us the best human traits of Montanans. We thus feel no hesitation in claiming to all who will listen that the catalytic power of Carol's presence makes her one of the strongest pillars of the Lodges' continued success.
