OUR LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
We finally did it. With some down time in Spokane we were able to rent a car and travel up to the Skookum Resort to check out some property. Skookum is a year round RV resort in which you purchase the land you put your RV or Park Model Cabin on. Both Craig and I have wanted to move from California to Washington for some time, especially since his company is based out of Spokane. After doing some extensive research on the internet we stumbled across the Skookim Resort. With the traveling we do, and want to do in the future, spending the money to buy a home which we wouldn't occupy that much didn't make sense. But, which a small investment of the land (30'X65' or approx 1800 sq feet) and purchasing a park model cabin, we would get to establish residency in Washington and have a home to go to when in Spokane.
The photo above shows what our view is from the site we decided to purchase, and the photo to the right shows what a park model cabin looks like. It is a one bedroom, one bath, kitchen, living room and upstairs loft. More than enough room for the two of us. We also get a 10'x12' storage shed built on our lot and $2,000 worth of landscaping. We are so excited to be living in such a beautiful area and far enough away (about 50 miles) from the big city of Spokane. The resort is about 13 miles north of the city of Newport and is located along side the Pend Orielle River. We are hoping by the time we take some time off in March we will be able to put the final plans down for the park model cabin to be constructed. We'll be sure to update you as we move along on this endeavor.
