Cedar Pass Lodge, Interior

Located in the region known as the Badlands of southwestern South Dakota, just east of Rapid City, this particular area is home to the Oglala Sioux, which is part of the Great Sioux Nation. This vast region was once home to the mysterious and little studied paleo-Indians who are thought to be some of the first inhabitants of the Badlands region. The new cabins are all eco-friendly and were built to Gold Level LEED standards in Rapid City, South Dakota keeping local craftsmen working through the winter. The cabins were placed on site in the Park the following spring. The exteriors of these cabins were designed to resemble the original cabins built at Cedar Pass, using repurposed and energy saving efficiencies. The interiors are lined with beetle kill pine from the Black Hills of South Dakota. The blue streaking you see in the wood is a trait left from the natural defense of the pine tree. We think its distinctive and makes each cabin truly one of a kind. Outfitted with beautifully hand crafted lodge pole pine furniture, each cabin has an in suite private bath and shower with on demand hot water and low flow devices. Hand crafted lodge pole pine deck chairs are placed on the decks to enjoy the spectacular views of the Badlands.
