You cannot see the house when you first pull up. You will be greeted by 5 sweet dogs. They have sheep and a pony but the alpaca has passed away sadly.
John is very friendly and a long time fox glacier resident. He made us feel at home. We were a little confused about the room situation. They rent out rooms in their house but have additional accommodations in their large yard for their kids who are in boarding school. You will share a bathroom with other guests which is clean. We were traveling with a 2 year old and they provided a crib which was very helpful.
We were not sure if other guests were coming and others arrived late at 11pm. I think it would be nice, given the very close proximity and shared spaces a heads up about when people were arriving and how many so that everyone could be contentious about sharing a bathroom.
