His question is: In this case, am I allowed to shorten and combine the prayers when I travel to this house?

Answer:
Yes, if you go to the house in the countryside without settling there, and you only go for a need or a leisure trip, then you shorten the prayers from when you start shortening until you return, unless you stay in the countryside for a period exceeding four days, in which case you complete the prayers, or if you have people who are residents praying in congregation, pray with them. Yes. As for on the road, going and coming, you shorten the prayers and combine them. Yes.
