Have fun with your family cooking together
Just want to let everyone in the Big Timber, Montana area know that when the Lodge is not rented out for vacation people we will rent for day use. This will include use of the Main Lodge room and Kitchen. Think of your group coming to a beautiful place and enjoying the privacy and relaxing venue. The Lodge is handicap accessible and has air conditioning or heat as needed. Host your friends and family for a day.

I just learned something new. Do you know what Glamping is? It is glamorous camping, no tents, no campfire, no sleeping on the ground. Guess what that describes the Burnt Out Lodge to a tee. If you like to be out in the country but also like it to be comfortable experience. Call us!

Burnt Out Lodge was the perfect place for a family reunion of nearly 45 attendees. This included a variety of ages from toddlers to 80+. The Lodge itself was our headquarters and housed nearly half of our group. The others enjoyed either tents or RV’s in close proximity. The large walk-in cooler and freezer, as well as on-site ice-maker were a big hit. The kitchen is where much of the visiting took place, and this kitchen was absolutely amazing. The Drange family were wonderful hosts and all expectations were met during our weekend. They accommodated every request. Our family enjoys music, and the piano was well-used over the weekend. There was plenty of room for outdoor games and events were planned accordingly. There were a few that drove to town for forgotten items – otherwise all chose to stay at the Lodge and just enjoy the time with family.
We will definitely consider using this location again for other family gatherings.

I am feeling nostalgic today. When Burnt Out Lodge was just a dream of mine (I was much younger!). The Black Butte Fire came through the property on September 9, 1994. I thought it was over before it had a chance. The people that we had been working with told us we had eighteen months to use the burnt trees. The Lodge was built using those burnt trees. We then started a Bed and Breakfast. I loved it we met many people from all over the world.
What a learning experience! All went well until May 2011 when we had the worst flood in years. Although the building was a good distance from the creek, we had water from one bank to the other of the valley. The damage was awful, the entire valley looked like a rock covered mess. The flood took out our septic tank, washed under Room 4 and took the pond out. The entire summer we had Stenberg Construction company remaking the valley and pond. There was no business conducted that year. When we reopened in 2012 we opened as a Vacation Rental (Age was forcing us to cut down on the labor). The grounds are starting to look like nothing ever happened and the new pond is doing well. Hope those who are not aware of our history enjoy my trip down memory lane.

I went to the Lodge this morning and the geese have arrived on the pond. The bluebirds are back too. No doubt that spring is here. Time to get your reservations for summer and fall.
