Knotty by Nature (formerly Doodle Ridge) was Custom Built in 2021 and designed for true enjoyment of everything the mountains have to offer! The “mountain modern” décor lends to an extremely comfortable and inviting escape that will be enjoyed by all. There are two fully furnished balconies complete with fireplaces, plus a firepit, all to cozy up to and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Indoors, there are two complete living rooms with fireplaces, plus a game room for the young and young at heart. You will never want to leave!
Main Level
On the front porch, there are two rocking chairs to sit in and enjoy the wildlife and the view. Once you enter the home, you'll find the main living with an open concept. The family room has plenty of very comfortable seating and a fireplace. There is a smart TV with Hulu live plus all of the streaming options. The dining area is set with a large rustic wooden table which seats 8 guests comfortably and seating for 5 more at the granite countertop in the kitchen. The open kitchen is equipped with brand-new stainless-steel appliances and all the supplies you would need to prepare your family's meals.
Also on the main floor, you will find a half bathroom with modern accents, a fully equipment laundry room and mud room.
The primary King Suite, located on the main level, features a mounted Smart TV, double granite vanity, large shower with 2 shower heads and an enclosed wash closet. Here you will also find a spacious walk-in closet.
Downstairs
As you walk down the stairs, you will enter the huge lower-level Family Room which also features a Game Room with ping pong and air hockey tables, large couch seating and a fireplace and a beautiful half bathroom. There is also a wet bar complete with wine fridge and sink.
There is an additional large bedroom with full bathroom en suite on this level, identical in size to the primary suite, with a large shower and soaking tub.
Upstairs
At the top of the stairs is the open Loft with more comfortable seating and a view that will allow you a quiet area to relax or get some work done while you listen to the excitement below.
Off the Loft are two Queen Suites, each with a full private bathroom and mounted SmartTV. One Suite also has a twin bunkbed.
Outdoors
Both levels of the house feature expansive decks with both covered and open-air seating to enjoy.
The deck off the main level has a fully equipped BBQ/smoker, as well as a dining table that seats 6, plus a living area in front of the fireplace that seats 6 or more. The Smart TV is mounted above the fireplace.
The deck off the lower level seats four with another fireplace, and plenty of room for yoga on the deck, games and more.
