History of Crossed Sabres







Established in 1898 as a stagecoach stop by Tex Holm who is credited with the first guided and extended camping trips into Yellowstone National Park. The original stage barn for housing the teams still stands today at the ranch.  The original lodge building burned in 1914 and Holm Lodge was bought and rebuilt by J W Howell who is buried on Howell Mtn south of the ranch.

In 1972 Holm Lodge became Crossed Sabres Ranch, named for the brand, and in 2004 the second lodge building burned and has been replaced by a two story log lodge.  The lodge, cabins, corrals and grounds have been remodeled and upgraded with new ownership and management in October 2007.
