My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was a great spot. The space had everything we needed including additional nice touches (flowers, fruit). Location-wise, 12 minutes from NP entrance which was perfect. We went into Hilo a couple nights for dinner, but there are closer places to eat in Volcano Village if needed (along with small grocery store). Very happy with our stay, and we enjoyed Jake's presence immensely (one of the dogs).
