This is an absolutely perfect spot from which to explore Volcanoes Natl Park, only a short drive away. Stunning, lush foliage surrounds the cute little wood cottage. There's a covered lit walkway leading from the parking spot to the entrance door for those dark, wet nights getting back late. The kitchen is well stocked, and there's even a little stocked pantry. The bed has heating pads and the room comes with a space heater too!! Great for when the temp dips in winter. Another huge bonus was the washer/dryer with detergent that was free for guest use.
Kathryn was an outstanding hostess. She gave my wife and I some great tips on how best to view the lava/volcano and knows a ton about the area! She is also super kind and generous with all the little touches in the cottage.
This place is wonderful, cannot recommend it enough!
