Inside there is a FULLY stocked kitchen with lots of spices, cooking pots and pans, bowls to stir, appliances to apply, a microwave, large refrigerator with a small freezer, and an oven that can split into two separate ovens. It is also an air fryer and convection oven. The stove top is induction which, from my experience, is almost like cooking on gas! Washer and Dryer in the laundry room.brbrMust Love Dogs.brThe barn and surrounding areas are used for dog training and are off limits to guests (see diagram). If you are not familiar with barn training, feel free to walk out when the trainer, Alanna, is there giving lessons and watch. She will happily answer questions when she is not busy. If you aren’t a dog person, don’t worry. The doggies are required to be always on leash unless they are in the barn, or fenced field, and actively training. Must Love Dogs is also a great movie!brbrThe outside deck wraps almost entirely around the house and is covered with a clear roofing product. The deck outside the dining area on the North of the house has both charcoal and pellet BBQs, comfortable deck chairs, hot tub, and is a great place to hang out with family and friends. The yard has a firepit for smokey evening smores. There is a pen on the North side of the garage for dogs ( non-barking please) in case you need to leave your buddy for a short run to the store. There is plenty of parking in front of the garage. On the East side of the property is a slender strip of trees that younger kids have enjoyed exploring.brbrHiking.brApproximately one mile North of the house on Stottlemyer is 4000 acres of well-maintained trails. Map signs dot the trail system, or you can download a trail app for your phone. You will find hikers, mountain bikers, and horses sharing the trails with you. Keyword for research “Kitsap hiking trails”.brbrPoulsbo.brThe town of Poulsbo is situated on the water, about a 10-minute drive away. It has a Bavarian theme and one of the best bakeries, Sluys, in the state. You’ll recognize it by the long line on the sidewalk. Lots of shops, restaurants on the water (and not), and wonderful art galleries. You can picnic in the park next to the marina and while the day away dreaming of bigger boats.brbrSeattle.brThe city of Seattle is a wonderful 30-minute foot ferry (no cars) ride from Kingston across Puget Sound. On a clear day there are spectacular views of Mt. Baker to the North and Mt. Rainer to the South. The ferry drops you on the waterfront almost in the center of town. Explore the waterfront by foot, or Uber/Lift/Taxi into town, although the more aerobic folk can walk the hills. Downtown Seattle is only blocks away. Don’t forget the Seattle Center, the Chihuly glass art display there, and the Seattle Art Museum in town. Definitely visit the historic Public Market to catch a salmon and visit the first Starbucks location across the street with the original logo out front.brbrNo smoking in the house.brWe are not smokers and can tell immediately, as can our other non-smoking guests. Smoke outside on the covered deck. Violating this rule will result in the loss of a portion of your deposit as we attempt to get the odor out.brbrPetsbrPets are great! We have a wonderful cat (he thinks so) and we have trained him not to scratch the furniture. Generally, cats are the most destructive guests with their sharp claws. We allow dogs on the COVERED furniture. Please use the doggy blankets we provide. Nothing better than cuddling with your buddies
