About this property

The Twin Pines Lodge and Cabin Camp, also known as the Twin Pines Motel and Frontier Court, is a tourist camp in Dubois, Wyoming on the way to Yellowstone National Park on U.S. Route 287. The camp was established in 1929 by Dubois businessman Oliver Ernest Stringer who designed the camp and assisted in its construction. Stringer had previously been involved in the construction of the Brooks Lake Lodge, where he built furniture. Stringer came to Dubois in 1901 with his mother, sister and three older brothers. He was born in 1888 in Ohio. Establishing a homestead near Dubois, the family quickly became prominent in the area. Brothers Albert and Oscar built the Stringer Hotel in 1913, with Ernest assisting, and Ernest worked on the local episcopal church and family homes. Stringer bought the camp site in 1929, calling it Frontier Court. In 1934, he built five log cabins and a central camp building. The main lodge was started in 1939 and was completed in 1941, when the name was changed to Twin Pines, named for two blue spruces that Stringer planted at the entrance. By 1950 Stringer had sold the property.
