BOOK THIS PLACE WITHOUT HESITATION! We had a great time at Eileen's place...it's a beautiful cozy, quiet and romantic house just minutes from Volcanoes National Park. Eileen was completely responsive to the few questions we had and sent us a fabulous itinerary including some things we didn't see the the normal tourist guides. The house was spotless and so very charming as well as private and quiet. It's one of the best places we've stayed and now recommending to all our friends and family. The house is decorated with a bird theme and we had fun seeing how many bird motifs we could find throughout. In addition the back lanai was lovely and relaxing to sit out sipping our morning coffee. Should we go back to the Hilo area we will certainly book Eileen's place again.
