Mark's place is a lovely home with architectural features that compliment the landscape. We enjoyed chalet style windows facing a tree-fern forest and the way the home highlights natural building materials including fine local hardwoods. Extras included a great hot tub in a magical setting of ginger, anthurium, and tree-fern.
The house was comfortable, warm (this is a cooler, rainy area of the island and a well insulated house is important), and well appointed for our multigenerational family weekend.
We were close to all Volcano area has to offer. The park, galleries, winery, and dining were minutes away. On Sunday mornings a walk to the farmers market would have been possible, but were pleased that we took the car for all the treats and art/crafts/plants we purchased.
