The Historic Cabins of the Lazy E-L Ranch.
The kitchen and dining room end of was built in
1907. At the time it was one of three identical cabins
built, one for Malcolm, one for the ranch foreman, and
the third for the cookhouse. In 1917, the large
adjoining cabin was built from logs salvaged from the
massive fire that covered the country from the East
Rosebud to Livingston. The Summer Cabin has four
bedrooms and three full bathrooms, a small kitchen, and
four fireplaces. It easily |
|
| sleeps seven or eight. From
the Summer Cabin one has a panoramic view of the
Beartooth Mountains and the gorges of the East and West
Rosebud Rivers. |

| was
originally built in 1920 as a bunk- house. It later was
used as the ranch office. This charming one room cabin
(plus bathroom) has a queen bed and two twins. The
Russell Cabin has a working fireplace, and if you look
closely at the mantle you'll see the intials of one of
the most prominent Western artists of all time- Charles
Russell. This mantle was moved from Malcolm's den in his
New Jersey home in the late 1940's to its current
resting place. Malcolm considered Russell a personal
friend and commissioned several paintings that now
reside in the |
|
|
| Mackay Collection in Helena, MT. The
Russell Cabin underwent some interior painting and
decorating in 2007. |

(known on the
ranch as the Brown House) was built in 1920 for Sam
Stokke and his family. Sam was one of the E-L's early
ranch hands who later homesteaded on part of the ranch
in order to assist Malcolm in expanding his holdings.
The cabin has a small kitchen, washer/dryer, two
bedrooms (one with a queen, the other has two twin
beds), a full bath, and charming living room with a wood
stove and sleeper sofa. The interior was newly painted
in 2007. |

| The site of on the West Rosebud River was originally
homesteaded by Bert Shorey in 1906 and later purchased
by Malcolm. The cabin was restored in the summer of 2004
and now provides a wonderful base for our guests who
want to retreat to the river for seclusion and fishing.
The cabin retains its old fashioned authenticity:One
main room holds four cots, a sitting area and woodstove,
and the adjacent kitchen houses a wood burning
cookstove. It is fully stocked with basic supplies,
guests only need their sleeping bags, pillows, water,
flashlights, and perishables. There is no electricity or
running water at |
|
|
| the Shorey Cabin, and by the light of
the kerosene lamps you can feel just as Bert Shorey did
while making a meal over the outdoor fire pit. |
