Birders take note! This place is wonderful for birds. We had Apapane in great abundance. We had Red-billed Leothrix on the front walkways, Japanese White-eye all over the place and Kalij Pheasant all over the neighborhood.
The house is a gem. Everything you need is there in the kitchen to make feasts in the house. Just stop at Foodland on the way up and get your ingredients. The weather at 4000 ft is lovely and cool at night. We slept with a few windows open and got too cool.
If you're looking for a cool, woodsy place to stay just minutes from the volcano state park entrance, close to the Bird Park, this is it!
