Eidel's house is pretty straight forward. The layout is rather basic; once you enter the front door you step straight into the front room which has your almost cliche cottage feel with it's white walls and stained wood floors and the lovely blue and white decorations. Through the archway just left of the front door is the kitchen, with it's own little private patio area which doubles as a herb garden. During the warmer months meals are eaten outside due to the beautiful balmy temperature that seems to hug the town.
There's a quaint and very cosy living room on the first floor with a working fireplace, while up on the second floor joining the study is a sitting room with an imitation fireplace, which makes it a very cosy and inviting winter retreat when a thin blanket of snow dusts the village.
The bedrooms are both on the lower floor. The guest room, while appearing small from first glance, is actually quite spacious inside, as it hosts a small round table for the occupant of the room to use how they see fit. The single bed is quite deceptive, as it is a king single, meaning it's larger than your typical single bed, but not quite the size of a double bed; it does hold two people if they sleep very closely together. The master suite - Eidel's room - has it's own little patio that's separated from the rest of the garden by a bamboo screen and gate. The bedrooms can be accessed by a hallway just past the dining room, which is located adjaceant to the kitchen. There is a small bathroom near the guest room, with the main bathroom being Eidel's ensuite. There is also a toilet under the stairs that lead to the study and sitting room.
The butterfly farm is located at the front of Eidel's property, hiding her actual home from the public. The back of the tourist attraction is completely blocked off by high, dense hedges that have a gate hidden only where Eidel can find it. The hedges were put up by a few villagefolk who had greener than average thumbs to protect her home and keep her privacy as intact as possible. There is a butterfly breeding house located away from the main attraction - the Butterfly House. A large dome the size of a football stadium, you could spend hours in the greenhouse-esque building and not realise it. A volunteer run cafe sits in the heart of the dome, with an oriental style setting in the west and a more contemporary style setup in the east. Tourists can only visit the breeding house via special request; usually only for educational purposes or for special international tour groups.
Hidden between the hedges of the farm and the front garden of Eidel's home is a secret little butterfly house which is usually reserved for Eidel's re-birthing since it's so closed-off and predator protected. In between the end of her life cycle and the beginning, she just uses it as a chillout location or when she wants to take a break and revert to her spirit form.
