Candice and Richard were amazing hosts. Their volcano cottage was in immaculate condition as it is a place they love. We felt that care in all of the details. There is really nothing they did not think of from the towel warmer, to the rain gear to the hiking instructions. We really felt that they were sharing their home with us, and it is such a special place. Very close to nature, but also incredibly homey and loved. Also, we are still dreaming of the honey they made. Wow. We understand why it is award winning.
