When we arrived it was pouring rain - the area is very unique - definitely a quiet neighborhood, very off the beaten path. Takes about 15 minutes without rain just to drive down to the house and a 4 wheel drive car is recommended due to the steepness of the roads. The area is great if you are looking to be away from it all. Takes about 15 minutes to get to the nearest supermarket, they were out of bread, but the next day they were back in stock. You should bring your own water to drink. Lovely swim spot nearby. Best part of the stay!
