The house has been fully renovated and operates as holiday apartments today. Visitors should know that reaching it requires a walk uphill, as it sits on an elevated position.
The construction used fieldstones gathered from the immediate surroundings. This gave the building a strong connection to the landscape and made it visually part of the island setting.
