I've stayed in some cool Airbnb pads, and this is one of them, but to stand in a room and watch a documentary about the place being built is unmatchable. Like taking a wine glass out of a cabinet while onscreen the cabinet face is being carmelized; or standing beside some reclaimed wood wall art while watching the artist pick out that-very-piece-of-wood in a documentary. And the off-grid aspects of this hand-built-from-the-ground-up house (and well built) are genuinely inspiring. On top of that, this home's distance from Volcanoes National Park is perfect. At least for my party. It's not too long of a drive (~20 minutes, and much of that on side roads that get lazier by the mile), but it puts you in a private (isolated) setting that definitely beats the vibe that's much closer to the park entrance. And the stars are so clear and plenty and night, even when the moon is on the horizon, you'll probably also realize it's been years since you saw them so thick.
