The Château Staff
You'll randomly encounter our team members in the house. No one speaks audibly before Noon so please don't expect cordial conversations. You'll be entertained by their efforts to make you feel at home at the château.
Anatoly Sir Pudgy Paws
Spa Manager
Not one to hold back from his desires, Sir Pudgy Paws will do his best to steal your food. He employs various ways to trick you including lying on his back, sprawled out, playing dead. Trust us. He knows what he is doing... he wants to trip you.
Herr Udo Bruno der Kleine Fuchshund
Recreation Manager
Herr Udo will do everything in his power to make sure you play and laugh during your visit. His obsession with playing ball will at first delight you and then, well, you'll see.
Sukoshi Enoki Koto Inu
Rōnin (Samurai lord)
Enoki only speaks and understands Japanese. Throughout your visit, he will acknowledge your presence with a customary series of grunts. He will be very busy keeping watch at the château.
Philomena Uschi Shenar
Room Attendant
Need to know when the daily Amazon delivery has arrived? Or when it's time for dinner? Philomena will make sure you're alerted to any visitors, deliveries, or neighbor dogs. It's what she does. No gratuities are expected.
Oswald "Ozzy" Shenar
Concierge
Ozzy is our resident concierge. He specializes in helping guests decide what’s next—whether that’s a nap, a hike, a beach walk, or shopping in downtown Sequim. Whatever the plan, Ozzy guarantees it will include joy, fresh air, and at least one tail wag.
Our Team
The Château Shenar team will attempt to help you relax, rest, and escape the stress of everyday life. Unlike teams you'll find at other resorts, our team has never had any customer service or hospitality training so don't get your hopes up. Just roll with it and make the best of it while you're with us.
Chris Shenar
Director of Facilities
Most often found seeking solace in his workshop, Mr. Shenar offers one-on-one lessons in virtual reality gaming and dog wrangling. Sign up for one or both of these fun activities.
Katherine Shenar
Sales Manager
She got you here and now you're stuck. She will emerge from the cave at some point in the afternoon. She will not cook you anything but she will make you a smashing signature cocktail if you're nice to her.
