Pioneer Woman's Lodge on Drummond Ranch

As I mentioned in my last post about The Mercantile, we got our free tickets to visit Pioneer Woman’s Lodge on Drummond Ranch before we left the restaurant.

The Lodge is a little over 12 miles from downtown Pawhuska. And right around the four mile mark from the end of town is where the Drummond Ranch begins. Among Oklahoma land owners, the Drummond family was one of the largest as of 2022. They own approximately 9% of the land in Osage County. The Drummond Ranch covers 433,000 acres!

For a bit of history: the Drummond Ranch roots trace back “to Scottish immigrant Frederick Drummond who immigrated to the Osage Nation at the age of 22 in 1886. In 1890, Frederick married Adeline Gentner (of Germany) and began a long line of ranchers through their second-born, Roy Cecil (RC). In 1911, RC leased land 6 miles east of Hominy and began raising cattle.” The Drummond family is still raising cattle on that same piece of land. Proud to be part of a long legacy of cattle ranchers it is now the 7th generation of Drummonds working the same land that they have been blessed to care for over 100 years.

It is on that historic and vast piece of property that The Lodge sits. As you walk through the front door from the enormous front porch you can’t help but notice how much natural sunlight brightens the interior. Lots of windows offer stunning views of the gorgeous acreage.

The Catering Kitchen

We were lucky that tours were available on the day we chose to have breakfast at The Mercantile and tour The Lodge. There are no tours on days when they are filming Ree Drummond shows, photo shoots or any other events held at The Lodge.

Dishes and Serve Ware

Steve and I, along with a handful of other visitors, were welcomed warmly by The Lodge host. Our host encouraged all of us to fee free to wander about and take as many photos as we wanted.

Once we finished oohing and aahing in all of the guest bedrooms and bathrooms, we drooled over the catering kitchen and full rooms of serve ware and small appliances at the rear of The Lodge.

Back to where our tour had begun, The Lodge kitchen, where Pioneer Woman’s shows are filmed, we got to chat with the host, who is also Ree Drummond’s assistant. She was quite gracious and gave us valuable information about what to see on our drive back to Ladybug. She said that, if we were lucky, we’d see a herd of bison. So off we went hoping to spot them.

We drove off the Drummond Ranch and onto the road, and drove, and drove, for what seemed like miles before we came to the end of the property. And a mile or so later we found the majestic bison herd lounging by the watering hole! It was the perfect ending to an amazing day in Oklahoma.
