There are not enough words to describe how much we love this place and our stay. If you are looking for a place that is close to the volcano national park and local restaurants and shops but is private and hidden by beautiful fern and native trees where you have a secluded home where like you are all alone in the wilderness... this is it. It is less than a mile from gas station, shops, restaurants and volcano park but when u pull up and drive through the tall beautiful native Hawaiian trees you feel a sense of calm set in and you instantly feel relaxed. This place is peaceful and tranquil and you can’t help but take a deep breath and smile because you know you made the right choice for you and your family. You wake up in the morning to birds singing and the sun hitting the beautiful ferns with fresh clean air. In the evening or at night you have a big jacuzzi where either the whole family or just you and your other half can relax and enjoy because it’s big enough for 8 people. There is a fire place that warms the whole house and individual heaters to warm up those cool nights. The house is big and spacious but the hosts with all there thoughtful touches make it feel like your home. There is everything u can think already waiting there for u. Fresh local fruit for breakfast and snacks, delicious coffe, tea or coco to warm up by the fire. The laundry room is huge and they provided everything u need. There are board games, and there is a half bath right off the living room close to the front door which is great for kids and guest. Open concept let’s you have great sight lines throughout the house in case you have little ones. A flat screen tv in case you actually want to watch something. For me the nature and forest outside was the best show I could hope for. There is a big BBQ grill right outside on your deck off the main living room close to the kitchen which made it easy to cook outside and enjoy he beautiful surrounding area. The hot tub down the stairs off the lanai is conveniently located so you can interact with the rest of the house. The hardwood floors throughout the home are breathtaking and the custom built staircase is beautiful. You will see exceptional hard wood furniture and tables that marks brother built himself. Actually it’s my understanding he built 2 custom homes that are beautiful and inviting. Upstairs are 3 big spacious bedrooms with beautiful linens and super comfy beds and pillows. Each room has a personal heater in case you get cold. There are two rooms that share a bathroom on one side of the upstairs and the big master bedroom is private and across the others with a beautiful hardwood floor hallway with no walls so u...
