Ira’s cottage was 4 minutes away from the volcano national park, perfect for our purpose of stay. The cottage was very cute and cozy, with a lovely garden and two rescue rabbits sitting at the back. The zen bathroom was definitely a highlight. We did not get to use the hot tub as it was under repair, which was a bit of a disappointment. Be aware that some restaurants around this location are only operating at certain days / hours, probably due to COVID. We brought grocery from Hilo and cooked our own dinner the first night, which was very satisfying. Overall, we enjoyed our stay a lot and would recommend this cottage.
