I have lived on the island for 15 years and have stayed at many places in the Volcano area. This place was by far my favorite. The cottage was incredibly comfortable and well-appointed with many thoughtful touches. The experience sitting in the hot tub beneath the dripping, towering tree ferns cannot be beat! It's a very peaceful, serene place and also well-located; I was even able to go on long jogs on the nearby paved roads and not encounter any cars. The surrounding neighborhood was quiet and totally absent of the barking dogs and sketchy living styles that can sometimes come up in the area. This is a lovely retreat. I most definitely will be back.
