Powder House Pass, Lead, South Dakota · Warm materials. A generous welcome.
The project
Settle in. Stay a little longer.
Set among the pines of Powder House Pass near Lead, Salty Dawg Lodge was designed as a Black Hills getaway for shared weekends, extended stays and large gatherings. Warm tones and natural textures connect the interiors to the landscape beyond the windows.
One of our first homes delivered fully furnished, the project brings architecture, interior finishes and everyday comforts into one considered experience. A tall great room anchors the main level, while generous bedrooms, a lower-level gathering room and outdoor living areas give guests places to come together and space to retreat.
Created for family getaways and vacation-rental use, the home balances a welcoming lodge atmosphere with practical spaces for hosting. Covered decks, woodland views and layers of timber and stone keep the setting close.
