Stunning. That's a one word description for this beautiful contemporary arts & crafts style home. What you see is what you'll get and much more...good design (right down to the kitchen drainboard), quality workmanship, spaciousness, atmosphere (gorgeous bird songs, lush greenery everywhere you look) and clean as a whistle. We loved the little touches, such as the Kona coffee beans and the bean grinder, the bowl of fresh fruit including papaya and bananas and, on the walls throughout, huge woodcut prints and photographs from island artists (saw more of this work in the Volcano Art Center). There's plenty of laundry detergent in the washer/dryer room and shampoo/conditioner in the showers. You won't miss any key cooking utensils, except maybe kitchen scissors but that's about it! And the location is 5 minutes from Volcano National Park's Visitor Center. SO convenient!! Now...word to the wise: it gets chilly in Volcano, so bring a sweater and long pants or at least some layering clothes. And it gets a bit nippy in this home, too, particularly in the a.m., so every morning we built a wonderful fire in the wood-burning stove which you'll need to warm the home, as there's no thermostat. Full instructions are provided so you can't go wrong! It was sheer pleasure to do this while making morning coffee. Overall, we have nothing but great memories from this place. We don't know the owner from a hill of coffee beans but we say to him: well done!!
