“May cares be left without and caring brought within”
This collection of web pages describes Sullishak, a beach cabin on Lincoln Beach in Oregon, USA. Wes and Elsie Sullivan built the cabin in 1947. The property consists of two tax lots. The cabin lot to the north is owned by Dave and Barb Sullivan, and the vacant lot to the south is owned by Karen Sullivan, Ian Sullivan, Ana Synodis, and Mick Synodis. The cabin is managed as a retreat for the extended Sullivan and Diviney families. It cannot be rented, but the family invites selected friends to reserve and use the cabin.
Physical Overview
The cabin is in the midst of a period
of substantial renovations. Our overall goal is to expand the cabin to be about
four times its current size while retaining its rustic charm and character. To understand the progress we are making, please
look at the Ownership Ideas / Expansion Plans page.
Today the first floor of the cabin consists of a large family/dining/kitchen room ... and we will not be changing this portion of the cabin. Other first floor rooms include a small master bedroom, bathroom, and sleeping room in the porch. The upstairs is a long sleeping loft with three double beds and two twin beds.
Don't expect a TV or telephone; this cabin is deliberately “primitive.” It does have running water, city sewer service, a shower and electric range. If you want to heat the cabin, we recommend building a fire in the Vermont Castings wood stove ... but we recently installed a baseboard electric heater in the living room if you feel lazy.
Location
Sullishak is located at 4040 Mina Street, Lincoln Beach, Oregon, USA. The cabin lies two blocks west of Highway 101 and is the same distance from the beach. If you drive south from Sullishak, you pass the Surfrider Inn, Fogarty Creek State Park, Depoe Bay, and eventually Newport. Driving north you will pass Gleneden Beach, Salishan Lodge, and Lincoln City.
First-time visitors have been known to drive past the highway exit for Sullishak. As you drive along Highway 101, look for a section of divided highway
with a Sentry Market on the east side of the road.
Turn on Willow Street and travel two blocks toward the ocean. Just before Willow dives down a steep incline, turn north onto Mina. The third house on the right will be Sullishak.
