Kathryn was the best host imaginable— she sent lots of pertinent information prior to our arrival and provided an entire notebook of information to help us make the most of our 2-day visit to the park. She met us upon arrival and answered all of our questions. And the cottage— what a magical, artistic and engineering feat! The detail is exquisite and very thoughtful. If we had planned better, we would have prepared all of our meals in the cottage because the ambiance is better than any restaurant. Take Kathryn’s advice and buy your groceries in Hilo so you can spend as much time as possible in that magical rainforest setting!
