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.

[2] George Redick had been taken with the site on Fremont Lake after assessing it in 1916 for its suitability for development by the Union Pacific with a destination hotel.

While the hotel idea was rejected as prohibitively expensive, Redick returned with his family the next summer and camped for two months.

Choosing a site on the northwest shore they contracted with the U.S. Forest Service for a lease and hired architect Otis Miller of Miles City, Montana to design a lodge.

A hall leads to a kitchen in the main unit, then to a dining room located in the rear wing.

The living room features exposed log trusses supporting the roof and a two-sided rubblestone fireplace designed by Omaha architect George.
