What Skamania Lodge does

Skamania Lodge operates a 175-acre full-service resort in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in Stevenson, Washington, founded in 1993 and owned by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) with operations managed by Benchmark | Pyramid Global Hospitality. The property spans four distinct accommodation categories — Lodge Rooms & Suites, Treehouses, Glamping units, and Cabins & Villas — alongside four food and beverage outlets (Cascade Dining Room, River Rock lounge, Skamania To Go, and The Backyard Grill), a full-service Waterleaf Spa, a fitness and pool complex, and a 22,000+ sq ft indoor meeting and event footprint across 23 meeting rooms.

The resort's commercial surface extends well beyond lodging into an integrated outdoor recreation complex branded as "The Backyard," which houses the nine-hole Gorge 9 short course (converted in 2021 to synthetic greens that reduced water use 15%), the Little Eagle 18-hole putting course, and Skamania Adventures (ziplines, aerial park, axe throwing, e-bike rentals). Operational technology investments emphasize resource efficiency rather than digital productization — AquaRecycle laundry water recycling, Frylow oil-extending frying systems, and HVAC occupancy-based shutoff are documented — alongside a 2025 target to eliminate single-use plastics in restaurants and meeting venues.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining nightly room rates (supplemented by an 18% mandatory Resort Amenities Fee covering internet, fitness, pool, EV charging, and amenity access), F&B sales (with a 3% dining surcharge), spa and wellness services, golf and adventure transaction revenues, and event/wedding packages. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via skamania.com, phone reservations, dedicated corporate and wedding sales teams, and earned media in outlets such as Vogue, Forbes, and Travel & Leisure. Customer segments span leisure travelers (primary), corporate groups (primary), wedding parties (primary), and adventure/golf enthusiasts and pet owners (secondary). The company reports 251–500 employees and has not publicly disclosed revenue; revenue figures are not reported separately within Pebblebrook's filings.
