A world-class destination resort, Skamania Lodge was carefully integrated into Washington's landscape, offering sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge and the forested mountains beyond. The Lodge was designed in the traditional Cascadian style, yet exudes a classic Pacific Northwest coziness, punctuated by local history. Skamania embodies this stunning location through the extensive use of local materials and the skills of numerous Pacific Northwest designers and artisans. The Great Room contains beams salvaged from a fishing cannery on the Oregon Coast, pine wood floors salvaged from old warehouses, and fireplaces made of locally-sourced stone. We used Douglas Fir paneling, arts-and-crafts style furniture, Pendleton wool bedspreads and drapes, and custom-made carpets inspired by Native American beadwork. A local ironworker forged the Lodge’s iron gates, eagle-head fire tools, and log holders. Framed petroglyph rubbings by a local artist reveal prehistoric stone carvings found around the state.
