If you are looking for a place to stay close to the 61G lava flow this is the place. My friend and I went to the Big Island just to see the lava so we wanted to be as close to the lava flow as we can. The cabin is literally on the lava field. It's so convenient, since it's right by the beginning of the trail (which I guess it's private property, tourists won't be allowed after 9 pm.) to the ocean entry, you can start your hike early in the morning, and stargazing as you walk and see the sunrise by the time you get there ( we started around 4.30 am.). Also the cabin is less than 15 minutes away from where most of the lava boat tours depart. Compare to 45 minutes from Hilo, if you plan to go on a sunrise trip, this is the place you need to consider. Sean was accommodating. The cabin was simple but well equipped, everything was as described. The neighborhood was unique and quite. The location, not to mention, I've said enough. Wish we could spend more time there. Mahalo!
