Editor's Note: Since the publication of this article, Trail Creek Merc has permanently closed.

Seeley Lake is a charming and vibrant small town where Montanans love to go on vacation year-round. And in addition to being surrounded by stunning unspoiled nature, it's home to one of Montana's best shops. Think of Trail Creek Merc as a real-life version of Etsy, a store full of Montana-made treasures.

Trail Creek Merc is located right on Highway 83 in Seeley Lake.

For years, locals and tourists alike have been coming here to purchase their favorite local goodies.

Between the bath bombs, lotions, and essential oils, this is the ultimate spot for self-care essentials.

And if you need to find the perfect gift for someone special, look no further.

The jams and jellies are delicious as well as locally made.

There's also a fantastic selection of candy.

This is a locally owned shop that supports a number of local merchants.

At a time when we are all trying to be more mindful of supporting small businesses, that really matters.

While you're picking out the perfect gifts, it's always fun to shop for yourself as well.

This is the kind of place where you tend to find everything you didn't know you needed.

It has been said that there's no other shop quite like this one in the world.

We agree with this assessment.

Trail Creek Merc is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except for Sundays when they close at 4 p.m.

If you've been missing the beauty of Seeley Lake lately, it may be time to plan a trip.
