our family of four from oahu enjoyed kristi and hank's lovely home during our 5 night getaway. volcano is a great spot from which to explore the national volcano park as it was just minutes away. unfortunately for us, it rained every day (not unusual for hilo in march). however, the cozy wood-burning fireplace made up for it (firewood provided, thank you!) would suggest buying some insta-logs in hilo to help start your fire. the home is beautifully appointed and clean; the fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy! because the town has no street lights, it's best to check in during daylight hours. we would love to stay here again on our next visit!
