Driving up de road toward the house is a grand experience on its own. We felt like we were visiting a nobleman who had invited us to stay the night. The breakfast outdoors is lovely. The drive in to town only takes about 10 minutes, while being at the house feels like you're way out in the country. It can't hurt to take a bit of mosquito repellent with you tho'. The shower was the best one we had on our 12 day trip.
