Amazing hosts and a magical spot. We feel lucky to have been able to experience this space. The volcano had just started erupting again the day of our flight so we felt even more fortunate to be able to stay at Crater Rim with its adjacency to the park. We could see the glow from the lava lake in the crater from bed at night. Wow! The cabin is full of amenities and travel resources for your stay in Hawaii. We stayed here at the halfway point of a 10 day trip to the big island which was a welcome break from beaches and towns, but it would be an excellent place to stay on the first few days of a trip to the big island due to the travel resources Jim and Barry provide for their guests. The space is enchanting and has all the amenities you could want. The yard is like a sanctuary - after 5-10 miles of hikes in the park each day, my husband and I spent a few hours in the yard reading and enjoying a drink in the setting sunlight. Our stay at Crater Rim Cabin was highlight in an amazing trip to Hawaii for both of us. One of our favorites places to stay - all time.
