The house was very clean , well maintained, and well stocked. The most compelling draw, though, is the host, David. Though we never met personally, he made his knowledgable, thoughtful, and hospitable presence felt through his visitor guide, whiteboard, and resources regarding the national park. He clearly knows a lot about the park and is an amazing resource regarding exploring the park no matter the situation, circumstance, or experience level at outdoor activity or hiking. When you stay in volcano village, your goal should be to maximize park time, and David’s resources allow you to do that. Would stay here again when I come back, which I definitely will!
