Located near the Long Beach Peninsula and a four-mile long bridge to Astoria, Ore.,
Fort Columbia State Park sits
in a secluded area overlooking the Columbia River. The park has wooded hiking trails,
historical buildings, bunkers and a museum. A short drive leads to charming towns,
breezy coastal dunes and saltwater marshes on the peninsula.
Steward's House
Situated on the highest point at the fort, the Steward's House offers a spectacular
view of the Columbia River from a broad open porch. The cozy two-story building,
fully refurbished and updated, has retained its lovely original features. Adding
to the old-time charm of the building are polished hardwood floors, wooden stairs
leading to two bedrooms with queen-size beds and quilted covers, a living room with
pressed-tin ceilings, an antique wood stove (converted to propane) and an antique
claw-foot bathtub. The living room has a TV and DVD player, and the country-style kitchen
has modern appliances.
