Carla is a superb host. She was very prompt to respond to all our questions and the house is so cute & comfortable. It came with all the items you may need to get started on your vacation. We really appreciated having the extra bits already stocked like soaps, oils, spices & laundry detergent!! You have to be able to walk up hill from your car but that was no concern for our family. We really enjoyed the view of the valley. Loved this cottage!!
