The cottage is wonderful. It is the perfect location, very close to Volcano National Park so we could easily go back and forth from the park to the cottage. The setup of the cottage is great: a little kitchenette with a stove, microwave, coffee maker and fridge. There was banana bread, tea, coffee, yogurt and fruit ready for us. The cottage is cozy but there was enough room for everything we needed It also has a huge shower that was great and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a lot of hiking around the park. Make sure you print out the directions on how to get into the cottage, it was a little tricky to find since we arrived very late at night.
Ira is a wonderful host and we enjoyed walking around the grounds and exploring the artwork and the gift shop. Thanks again Ira!
