Maggie's house was amazing and the perfect location to see the southwestern area of Kerry. The house is set back in a secluded section just outside of Cahiserveen, you definitely get a feeling that you are in a remote section but within several minutes of a small city with access to supermarket, fuel, pubs, food, etc. The house itself was very clean and well stocked. You have to pay for oil and electricity however the cost for us was very low, so no problem at all. The fireplace was amazing and definitely helped to provide heat at night and just a nice time sitting around with a Guiness or your drink of choice. The kitchen was well appointed with everything you may need. Our local host Rosaleen was a super responsive lady and extremely welcoming. She was very open to discuss the local area, talk about her family, and just gave us a lot of really good information. The dark zone is perfect, we stayed about 3 nights and one of them was clear enough to see the stars. You owe it to yourself to see the stars without ambient light, easy to look up and stare for hours. Location is about 20-30 minutes from Waterville and Portmagee, Skellig Island lookout. You can get to the ferry to Valencia Island in 10 minutes or so. Bottom line, if you are in the Cahiserveen area and need a house to stay, I would highly recommend this house. Maggie is a great communicator and she will help you every step of the way as she did for us.
