We had a wonderful time staying at Ben's house. The house was extremely clean and had everything that we needed for sleeping showering and use of the kitchen. The location of the house is in a very quiet area and we enjoyed star gazing and had the best view of the lunar eclipse directly from the back deck. The location also provided easy access to volcano national park. Covered parking was a plus since most mornings we left early and did not have due on the vehicle. We loved this house and would definitely stay here again. We would highly recommend giving this house a try if you are staying on the big island.
