The Redick Lodge, also known as the Chambers Lodge, is a private seasonal retreat on Upper Fremont Lake near Pinedale, Wyoming in the Wind River Range at an elevation of 7,500 feet (2,300 m). The lodge was designed by architect Otis Miller of Miles City, Montana as a log cabin on a stone foundation for George M. Redick, a Nebraskan who had worked with the Union Pacific Railroad on potential locations for company hotels. The Redick family spent summers at the lodge from 1918 through 1931, when family fortunes declined. The property was purchased by Dr. Oliver Chambers of Rock Springs, Wyoming in 1938 and has remained in the Chambers family.

Famous quotes containing the word lodge:
“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
