Tamaracks Resort - Where Time Stands Still
Set on 35 acres of pristine lakefront property in Seeley Lake, Montana, Tamaracks Resort represents one of the most exceptional ownership opportunities in the Northwestern hospitality market — a rare chance to acquire a proven, profitable, and fully operational year-round resort with deep historical roots and limitless potential for growth. The resort operates under a special use permit from the Forest Service.
Established in 1929, Tamaracks Resort has operated continuously for nearly a century, earning a reputation as one of Montana’s most beloved family destinations. Today, it thrives as a diversified hospitality business offering:
17 unique rental cabins, each thoughtfully maintained and modernized.
10 RV sites, 4 glamping units, and 2 camping sites, all surrounded by towering tamaracks and direct lake access.
Woodland Wedding and Events Venue, one of Montana’s most sought-after locations for celebrations and gatherings.
A full suite of seasonal rental services including boats, bikes, jet skis, snowmobiles, cross-country skis, and ice fishing gear.
Year-round revenue supported by Seeley Lake’s four-season recreation economy — from summer boating and fishing to winter snowmobiling and skiing.
What makes Tamaracks truly special is its rare combination of lifestyle and investment appeal. The property is both turnkey and expandable — operated efficiently by a small, skilled team with systems already in place for management, maintenance, and guest services. For a commercial investor or owner-operator, it offers a hands-on yet flexible business model that delivers consistent returns while providing the freedom to live and work in one of Montana’s most beautiful lakefront settings.
Recent years have seen steady growth and reinvestment, including upgraded cabins, modernized facilities, new maintenance equipment, and enhanced guest experiences that continue to increase both occupancy and reputation. With multiple avenues for future expansion — from adding employee housing, arial adventure parks, luxury tree house rentals, frisbee golf, in addition to expanding recreational equipment. — Tamaracks Resort is well-positioned for long-term financial success.
Beyond the business metrics lies the true advantage: quality of life. Owning Tamaracks means waking up to lake views, managing a business that naturally integrates with family life, and creating a legacy that blends work, recreation, and nature. It’s a unique opportunity to step into a thriving enterprise with nearly a century of goodwill and to shape its next chapter — whether as a profitable investment portfolio piece or a family-run Montana dream.
