Visit the famous "Lodge" as seen on Ree Drummond's cooking show on Food Network and have a look inside the Pioneer Woman kitchen. The Lodge and the Drummond Ranch are located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. It is one of the only famous Food Network kitchens you can actually visit. The best part is that you get to walk around freely! You can peek inside the fridge, check out the pantry and better yet, you get to see the parts of the Lodge they never show on TV like the bedrooms and a secret big professional prep kitchen in the back of the Lodge! Check out the TWD video of the Pioneer Woman prep kitchen.
The Pioneer Woman Lodge Tour Dates & Ticket price
A few times a year the Drummond family will open up the Lodge for visitors. The dates are usually announced on the Pioneer Woman Mercantile website and the Pioneer Woman social media pages. Tickets are free! How do you get a ticket? On the days the Lodge is open, visit the Mercantile in downtown Pawhuska to pick up the free ticket and the directions to the Lodge. Tickets are unlimited so no worries about getting there ahead of time. That is it! Super easy.
To add to the Pioneer Woman experience while in Pawhuska, enjoy some dessert at Charlie's Sweet Shop (ice cream place named after her beloved dog), or book a stay at the beautiful Pioneer Woman Boarding House hotel where you can expect 5 star quality service! Check out my previous posts about Charlie's Sweet Shop and the Boarding House Hotel to find out more.
The Drive To The Drummond Ranch
The drive from the Mercantile to the Pioneer Woman Lodge is about 20 minutes. Once you get to the ranch, it is about a 10-minute drive on gravel dirt roads to get to the Lodge. Keep that in mind! Haha. It is all part of the great "life on the ranch" experience.
If you're a big fan of the show, this could be a dream come true type experience. It is a lot of fun to check out the place and take pictures behind the stove just like Ree on her cooking show. Getting to see everything in real life is so much fun plus seeing the view Ree has when she cooks in the kitchen is incredible!
Experience Pioneer Woman At Home
Experience the Pioneer Woman at home by cooking a dish from one of her many cookbooks. See the list with all of her current cookbooks here. What is great about Ree's cookbooks is the many great pictures. Ree loves taking photos and so besides the great recipes, you get to see pictures of her life at the ranch including the lodge! Cook one of her meals, flip through the photos in her cookbook, and watch one of the TWD Videos below and you have the ultimate Pioneer Woman at home experience!
Until the next departure!

Not Seen On TV - The Pioneer Woman Bedrooms And Prep Kitchen
Did you know there's a large prep kitchen at the lodge? It was built to accommodate the production crew for the extra prepping, cooking, and cleaning of the dishes that come with filming the show. The bedrooms are used for Ree to get ready before filming.
