Derek sent us a message after our plane landed about when we would arrive and was ready to greet us when we arrived. He gave us tips about where to travel to and where to eat. The road narrows on the last section to the house and it feels very secluded. The only noise we heard at night were insects and the wind in the trees. The dogs are very quite and well behaved and would not come inside unless invited. There were a few little cobwebs around the house but it felt very homely. We would love to stay there again.
