Snowy Range Lodge, historic house in Wyoming, United States
Snowy Range Lodge is a three-story log building set in the Wyoming mountains surrounded by forest and wildflowers. It features a wraparound porch with views of a small creek, a large gathering room on the main floor, and bedrooms with a sitting area on the upper levels.
Built between 1919 and 1924, the lodge was originally called Libby Lodge and served mountain visitors for decades. After declining in the mid-1970s, a local family purchased and restored it, saving the structure from potential demolition and transforming it into a private residence.
The name reflects the snow-covered mountains that define the region where it stands. The log building and its rustic character show how early mountain hospitality blended outdoor experience with shelter and gathering spaces for travelers.
The property sits at about 8,500 feet elevation and is accessed by Barber Lake Road through a quiet mountain setting. Nearby outdoor activities include hiking trails, skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area, and thermal springs at Saratoga, making it a good base for exploring the region.
The famous bandleader Glen Miller performed in the lodge's Great Room during the 1930s. The property was once known as Silver City, a logger's camp, revealing that the land held a working history before becoming a retreat.
