When we were browsing the web for accommodation near Volcano National Park, we were a little perplexed by the constant advertisement of cabins with stoves or space heaters. We are in Hawaii, shouldn't we be more concerned by a lack of AC? Turns out, with an elevation of 4000 feet, it gets rather chilly, and the heating at fiddlehead house sure does come in handy. Once we figured out that you should get a log in the stove and flip on the heaters the moment you make it over the threshold, the house become the exact kind of cozy and romantic place you want to call home after a long day of hiking the park.
The rainforest wrapping around the home was lovely; big windows all around display the scenery, and coqui frog sounds are a unique and beautiful thing to fall asleep to (if you like their sci-fi-esque calls, which we do!).
The shower was absolutely a highlight, and the bathroom is quite large as well.
The kitchen has all that you need, the laundry room is much appreciated, the bedding is simple but comfy, and the host is very responsive. We thought that bugs would be a terrible nuisance, seeing as it is in the rainforest after all, but we saw very few and it was no problem at all. This is a place that we will definitely keep in mind for future visits. Thank you April and Ron!
