Sacajawea Studio on the Lake

Studio apartment above a garage, with private entrance, off-street parking. 325 sq feet including full kitchen, tub and shower, queen bed (memory foam), dining table, TV. Located on lovely Lake Sacajawea with its tree-filled park. Walk or bike the perimeter (3+ miles) or part of the lake. House is short distance from the hospital on the opposite side of the lake. Many of our guests are "travelers," medical professionals working on short-term contracts. The house was built in 1981 from salvage from the eruption of Mt St Helens. Our family had a cabin on the north fork of the Toutle River which was washed away in the debris flow. My dad was eligible for what was then a low-interest loan (8 1/2%) from the government and built the house next to our own home. My uncle had timbered property that had to be cut because of the inundation of ash and he gave Dad permission to take whatever Weyerhaeuser left behind. He knew a guy with a portable sawmill nearby and they milled all the lumber. Then Dad, who was distinctly NOT handy and in his 60s, built the house with the help of a brother-in-law in his late 70s. Incredibly, they pulled it off, and it is now being visited by people from all over the world. Access is through a breezeway that connects the garage to the house. The apartment is over the garage. Parking is in the driveway behind the garage. We travel between our Longview home and our primary residence in North Bend, Oregon, and may not be here when you are. Before Covid, we visited Longview every two weeks. Since Covid, we have rarely visited the Longview house. But we have a housekeeper in Longview and are always available by phone or text if we are not in town. We are right across the street from Lake Sacajawea, a long narrow lake and park that is 3+ miles around its perimeter. We have two cruiser bikes available (one male and one female) if you'd like to ride around the lake. An extra comforter is in the drawer at the end of the bed.
