The home is exactly as it shows in the photos and was very clean and welcoming. The rooster next door is definitely an early riser...4-5 am. We also found a trick with the driveway was to let off all passengers at the base and just have the driver go up solo. Another option we found easier was to go past the house and come back down the hill, giving you a bit of momentum to go up the drive. We cooked most meals and had everything we needed in the amazing kitchen.
