About Traci Hamilton & Tyler Barnes
Environmentally conscientious, owner-builder, designer with a B.A. in Architectural Studies from the University of Washington. Have lived in "The Gorge" since 1993 and married a real "local girl" from Mosier, Oregon. Together we have traveled the world and settled down in this amazing community. We enjoy sharing our home with people who want to escape the hustle and bustle of their lives and take in all that our little spot has to offer.
Traci Hamilton & Tyler Barnes purchased this house in 2000
Why Traci Hamilton & Tyler Barnes chose Underwood
*** Summer 2019: Your hosts are building their dream home next door. There may be some construction noise during your visit, but only during business hours: 8am to 5pm, Monday - Friday and occasionally on the weekend depending on the state of our project. Your host may be on site working so drop by for a tour - ideally near the end of the day after 4pm. *** We bought this one acre parcel back in 1999 with the intent to build a shop and garage with living quarters above – the space you are in now – that we would live in while building the main house, when time and money allowed. As a “young couple” with no money, we searched for used and reclaimed materials, enlisted the help of friends and family to help build this structure, and essentially were able to “build a house” ourselves. Providing shelter for yourself is a primal experience and is exhausting, challenging and rewarding.
