Hard to capture just how great this space is in a short review.
The location was incredible; it was a 15 minute drive to see the lava glow from the Halemaʻumaʻu crater (absolutely magical at night) and close enough to Volcano Village for any last minute groceries / takeout however, once we entered the property, we felt like we were on another world. The cottage feels like it's nestled in the middle of a volcanic jungle, surrounded by large trees draped in ivy and moss; a great getaway. The space itself feels modern, is very clean and so very well equipped. Everything we could possibly want was in one drawer or another and small touches (like hot coco + popcorn packets, motion activated night lights, nightstand wireless chargers) hit different here. We also enjoyed using the outdoor grill, panini press and blender when we were in. While we never needed them, we also saw that the house had plenty of kid friendly games, and plates, so very family friendly. Host communication also stood out; we were impressed with Matt's thorough communication both before and during our stay. Considering the current travel restrictions, he was really helpful in detailing what exactly he needed from us in what format and by when. The binder within the house was detailed with all the instructions for the gas stove, bedroom fireplace heaters and media. The restaurant menus + details on how water / electric works in the house was also very enlightening. When we contacted Matt during our stay, he was very prompt with all responses. I would highly recommend this space and hope we can make it out here again -- by our last night, we were wishing we could stay another night. Thank you!
