The only thing more incredible than the Volcano Haven is its hosts Candice and Richard. From the moment we booked their home, Candice was great with communication, constantly checking in to see if we had any questions or needed recommendations for our trip. We were already impressed with the welcome packet she emailed with lists of hikes and other things to do in the area, local restaurants, etc, but when we arrived we were shocked to find out there was even more information they had put together for guests including binders full of detailed descriptions of nearly every hike in the park that really helped us narrow down which trails to focus on. They have stocked the house with literally every single thing you could possibly need for your stay, and there were sweet touches like a box of chocolates to greet us. The house itself is beautiful, and truly a haven as its title suggests. It rained both nights we were there, but we loved sitting by the fireplace and watching the rain outside on the magical tree ferns , then waking up to the sounds of the birds in the gorgeous gardens surrounding us. The location is perfect, only a few minutes from the park and just down the road from a few restaurants, deli, and convenience store. We hope to return to visit more of the national park someday and would absolutely love to stay at the Volcano Haven again.
