Welcome to Monkeydoodle!

“Monkeydoodle” is a combination of our kids’ nicknames (“Monkeyshorts” and “Stinkerdoodle”). The home, like the name, represents a combination of things we love best. The stainless countertops and appliances in the kitchen give it a modern, European feel, while the custom furniture made of local, reclaimed materials evokes a more cozy Northwest vibe. The metal and wood theme continues with the rolled-steel pub table, and the wrought-iron bicycle wheel bar stools.

We’ve stocked the kitchen with all appliances and gadgets that are important to us, including a crockpot for winter stews, and a blender for smoothies and margaritas. We even have three different coffee-making implements (standard coffee pot, french press and brew station) in case the perfect cup of coffee is as important to you as it is to us.

The living room also blends local, handcrafted furniture with a top of the line sofa and reclining chairs. A 46-inch HDTV fronts the sleeper sofa and gas fireplace. If you’re not in the mood to watch a wide variety of movies (McQueen to Nemo), then there are plenty of books, games and puzzles for your entertainment. There is also an HDMI switch connected to the TV, so you can bring along your own streaming device like Chromecast or Apple TV.

Downstairs, the kids can enjoy their own bunkroom with a 29-inch TV. Rather than choose a gaming system for you, we’ve provided an HDMI switch to allow you to plug in your own console and continue your existing games. All beds have down comforters plus ultra-soft throws. Good luck getting them out of their pillow-top mattresses in the morning!

The primary bedroom boasts a hybrid coil/memory foam pillow-top mattress, as well as a 36-inch flatscreen smart TV. We are also excited about the adjustable shower-head and shower bar in the bathroom, so the shorter bathers can also enjoy a powerful stream of water.

The hot/cold faucet outside is perfect for washing dirty dogs (of both the canine and foot variety), and the glider bench offers some variety if you’re not interested in relaxing in the Adirondack chairs while the kebabs are grilling on the Weber grill. Your dogs can enjoy the freedom of the fully-fenced front yard, and the beach cruisers and beach toys are in the shed near the front gate.

Monkeydoodle comes equipped with Wi-Fi, free local and long distance telephone, and a great selection of DVD’s, board games and books for all ages. You are only steps away from the treehouse made out of the largest old growth stump in the area and the delightful gnome trail to the beach, filled with whimsical fairy houses.
