Our stay with Lily and Brian was awesome! The location is perfect for spending time at Volcano National Park. It is halfway between the park and Hilo. The cabin was just as described and very comfortable. With the windows open we were able to enjoy the sounds of nature. The location is off the main road so there is no traffic noise at all. Even though we arrived well after 8 pm, Brian was there to greet us and even got us set up with some hiking options for the next morning. My husband really loved the coffee maker that other reviewers have talked about. it was so good he drank it black. We had an amazing breakfast on our last day and was able to enjoy it with our hosts. Lily and Brian's dogs were an added bonus. We especially liked how Ranger was there to greet us in the morning when we opened the cabin door. You need to be comfortable around dogs to stay here and we are. We maxed our days and Brian was really helpful in giving us tips about hiking in the park. Lily gave us great suggestions on where to eat. Our highlight was going back to the park after dark to see the lava glow. It just happened that we were able to see the lava splashing up in the crater! Very exciting for us. Because we spent so much time in the park we did not get to enjoy the hot tub. Maybe next time. We would definitely recommend staying here. We feel that Brian and Lily go above and beyond to make your stay perfect.
