This is a hidden gem. The cottage is the perfect setup for two people. Access to the kitchen area is out by the tavern and breakfast is served up at the house. The hot tub is also up by the house and was perfect for watching the Milky Way. Lily was super accommodating to provide us plant based meals and packed an early to go container for our flight. We had a great time talking with them both and truly enjoyed their 4 dogs. This place is the perfect location for spending time at Volcano park. The area is at a higher elevation so expect cooler weather and more rain. We were sad to go and will definitely be back if we return to the Big Island.
