If you want to explore Volcano National Park, this is the place to stay. It really is 5 minutes to the entrance. The house is super quiet and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and we all slept like babies after 2 full days exploring the park. There is a white board inside with helpful hints - where to see eruptions and what parts of the parks are closed.
We all had a wonderful stay and being so close to the park when I got up early one morning when everyone else was sleeping I got to explore the park solo as it is that close of a drive
