If you want a head start for a late-night (or early morning) hike to the lava fields, this is the place to stay. We only stayed one night and unfortunately the weather was not in our favor, but the opportunity was there nonetheless. Regardless, the location is otherworldly and you are unlikely to ever stay anywhere quite like it. I'd absolutely give it another shot if I ever returned to Big Island.
On last tip if you are thinking of staying here: I made the mistake of relying on Google Maps rather than really looking at the instructions provided. Google took me through Hawaii Volcanoes NP to another "Chain of Craters Rd" opposite the one Sean and Zorro's place is at. The other one dead ends at the ocean but does not connect. This was my mistake since their driving instructions were clear but it cost me another 1.5 hrs at least before I finally arrived. Don't be me!
