The kitchen
You will find a well-stocked kitchen cooks love with granite countertops and breakfast bar.
Appliances: Fridge, oven, gas cook top, dishwasher, microwave.
Small appliances: large toaster, 6-quart crock pot, blender, hand held electric mixer, automatic drip coffee pot.
We provide commonly used spices and seasonings. The cupboards are well stocked with dishes, cutlery, glassware, wine glasses, bowls, pots and pans, serving ware etc.
Coffee
There is a small supply of tea, coffee, filters and sugar in the cupboard to get you started. We have a 12-cup automatic drip Mr. Coffee (basket-style) coffee maker. Bring ground coffee. We usually do not provide creamer because it is perishable.
Lattes and more
Need a latte? Visit Plain Hardware in nearby Plain, WA. It's a quick drive, just 5 miles down the road. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how quaint this local hardware store is. It's full of beautiful country home goods, clothing and more.
Cooktop
This is a propane gas cooktop. Propane gas tends to burn hotter, which you may notice a slight difference if you are used to a natural gas cooktop. To operate the gas burners, press the desired knob DOWN FIRST, then turn counter-clockwise to the left. It will ignite on the “Hi” mark. To turn the flame off, turn the knob all the way to the right. The knobs should glide easily. If it is not turning easily, the knobs may have been replaced to the wrong location when the cooktop was being cleaned. There are two positions for the fan. Turn clockwise to either “low” or “high.”
Oven
The oven is a standard sized GE convection oven. It is easy to operate. If you decide to cook bacon in the oven, consider using a lower temperature such as 350 F. Bacon splatters tend to smoke. Turn on the cooktop fan and crack open a couple windows for more air flow. You'll find oven mitts, baking trays and a roasting pan in the drawers or lower cabinets.
BBQ
A covered gas grill is located on the deck. BBQ utensils are stored in the first kitchen drawer to the left of the refrigerator. Please return them here. Please shut off the propane immediately after use. We find it is quite common people forget to turn it off when there is a large group. Please monitor this as it can be a serious fire hazard. Return the cover back to the BBQ after it cools.
This image is the BBQ grill knob. Please note it is in the “off” position when facing upwards.
Griddle
An electric non-stick griddle perfect for making pancakes can be found on top of the heart cabinet in the kitchen. Please return the griddle to this location after use.
Dining Room
Next to the kitchen you will walk through unique arched doorways to the spacious dining room. The dining room table can seat 8 people. It is a great place for family to gather, have a special meal or play board games.
