HISTORY OF THE DUDE RANCHER LODGE

‘’In 1949, when downtown Billings was abuzz with new restaurants and clubs, the Dude Rancher Lodge, with bricks from the original St. VIncent’s Hospital and its distinctive weeping mortar, opened its doors. The building was modeled after the log cabins of the early settlers, complete with a low-pitched roof. Western ranch style furniture was selected for the interior decorations. The attached restaurant also exhibited western décor and provided dishes specially designed for the Dude Rancher Lodge.

The construction of the Dude Rancher Lodge was financed by a group of businessmen and women from the Billings area. The hotel was essentially a community project—it included stockholders who were ranchers, stockmen, retail merchants, wholesalers, bankers, industrialists, insurance agents, doctors, and private investors.

The original operators even went so far as to dedicate several rooms to regional guest ranchers, Furthermore, five of the original guest ranch brands were incorporated into the design for the custom made “branded” carpet that is integral to the uniqueness and charm of the Dude Rancher Lodge.

The Dude Rancher Lodge has been privileged to serve entertainers such as country singers Don Williams, Dan Seals, and Sugarland, as well as Emmy Award winning comedian Louie Anderson, the Harlem Globetrotters, and the 69th Battalion Special Operations Group.

In the fall of 2000, the Dude Rancher Lodge celebrated its 50th Anniversary. The celebration included a barbecue and the unveiling of the branding wall. Fans, friends and guests were invited to burn their own brands into the branding wall and become part of the Dude Rancher Lodge’s continuing history.’’

FIRESIDE ROOM ‘’The lobby and the fireside room were designed to be cozy and inviting. A great place to converse about cattle prices, politics, and the never-ending discussions about the weather. The fireside room can also be transformed into a small meeting room, a reception or dining area, or a friendly gathering place to accommodate any particular need.’’
