The Lava Loft was just as the name suggested, magical. It was a peaceful retreat that was much needed. The room is open on two sides, so there's a wonderful breeze that blows through, which feels fabulous. The views of the lava fields, ocean and stars are unrivaled. If you hike out to the ocean (over the lava, which makes a fabulous crunching noise... bring good hiking shoes), you have the ocean to yourself! So very peaceful.

Jade is a lovely hostess. She gave us great recommendations for activities and has provided a great space. She also keeps tabs on you when you hike out over the lava, to make sure you return safely, as it is easy to get lost without landmarks.

The kitchen is fully stocked and fun to use. It's down stairs from the living/sleeping area, as is the bathroom and shower, but the dual floor layout is easy to work with.

We totally enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.
