The condo exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way! Quiet and private area, feels like you're staying in a rainforest retreat miles from anyone else. Yet literally only minutes from Volcanoes National Park, the restaurants in the village, and a quick scenic drive down to the Hilo side of the island. Most of the comforts of home, including a full kitchen setup, in a beautifully-decorated studio cabin, with some of the best forest architecture we've ever seen! Arriving felt more like checking into a Buddhist temple than your average condo!! Kathryn was also a fantastic host, providing us with all of the info we could hope for and more, and warmly welcomed us to her neighborhood when we arrived. One note is that, as it says in the description, nights in Volcano can get quite cold!! There's a heater in the space, and an electric mattress pad on the bed, so we were always plenty warm while sleeping! But you will want to bring warm clothes just to hang around the cabin (or the lovely rainforest patio/garden out back) during the evenings, and early AM -- unless you've planned to go to Mauna Kea, or been to the Volcano before, many folks won't think to pack warm stuff for a Hawaiian vacation! Overall, an amazing stay and we hope to be back someday!
