The layout of the house made it perfect for our group which was 1 older couple and 4 single adults. Because we were all related, the larger beds gave the cousins snuggling options, which they would tell you was the highlight of the vacation! The beds have great mattresses and bedding. The kitchen is fully equipt. It wasn't that you are really cooking per se. But you have everything you need to get the party started. We never got to meet Danielle, but I'm sure she would have made herself available if there was a hiccup. The house is as beautiful as it is pictured. I would come back here every time.
