We absolutely loved staying at Liz’s cabin and would stay there again in the future. We initially had some miscommunication about the required minimum stay. I thought there were a lot of house rules, but once we got there, I understood why. Liz’s place is an immaculate cabin on the inside, well decorated and stocked with modern appliances, ample kitchen ware, an extremely comfortable bed (we were only 2 people), and a wonderful wood stove for heating (which is actually needed on some nights when the temp dips down).
There are some small cons, such as weak water pressure/volume and far distance from a grocery store (~35 min). Definitely hit the store on the way from the airport. However, this is a cost of being so close to the volcano that you can tell if Kilauea is active by looking at the sky. The day that the volcano became active, the vog in the nighttime sky was illuminated red and visible from the driveway, so we could quickly (5-10 min) get to the park and head to see lava. If you’re interested in seeing lava and visiting the park for a few days, this is an excellent place to stay.
