What a cool spot!! Robin and Kris have made a really wonderful space for people who want to visit Volcano, HI.
My wife and I spent 2 nights at Robin's place while exploring Volcanoes National Park. The town of Volcano, where their unit is located, is a perfect jumping off point for exploring the park. A 5 minute trip gets you from their place into the park entrance. We also had good meal at the Ohelo cafe, and Thai Thai restaurants, which are just 2-3 minutes from their home.
The house is super clean, and cozy. Kris supplied plenty of firewood and kindling for the wood-burning stove. Kris and Robin were also nice enough to give us some fresh papaya, bananas and clementines, as well as local tips for exploring the park. Also, the kitchen is appointed with a great gas burning stove, large refrigerator, and ACTUAL SHARP cooking knives! Its always a bummer trying to prepare food with cheap, dull typical rental unit cutlery, but Robin provides guests with the type of cooking utensils you'd use in your own home.
Their gaggle of chickens could be seen wandering around the outside of the guest house in the morning, and were fun to watch. The 2 dogs came over to say hello as we packed up to leave.
Robin and Kris are very gracious hosts, who helped us have a great time exploring the park, and also gave us some good tips for things to do on the other side of the island as well. Thank you both!
