It would be hard to overstate how incredibly beautiful and peaceful this location is. Our host was very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed when we arrived, and even responding late at night when we couldn’t figure out how to turn the hot water on. (It’s easy! Just flip the circuit breaker next to “bypass.”) Make sure you bring lots of bottled water and shop for food before you head out to this house, because it’s very remote.
Our biggest challenge was driving: We rented a car at LEON by the port, and drove the 30 minutes to the east coast. Our car was a small sedan, and we were worried it wouldn’t be able to make it up the steep switchbacks, especially on the dirt roads closest to the house. But we found out that it’s possible! Go slow, and even a little front-wheel drive car like ours can make it (barely). If we had it to do again, we would rent a Jeep on the mainland and bring it over on the ferry, so we recommend that!
