We stayed in Kimberly's cottage for part of our honeymoon and it was the perfect little oasis! The cottage has everything you will need and is the perfect size for a solo trip or for a couple looking for a unique getaway. It is a quick and easy drive to the Volcano National Park so we were able to visit the park on several occasions for great hiking and views.
The location is remote and quick food options are not as readily available but Kimberly's advice to stop at a grocery store on the way into town was on point. We were able to cook a few meals in the cottage and still enjoyed some local restaurants for dinner a couple of times. There are some neighbors around the cottage but you would never know they are there because the area is full of lush landscaping and is SO quiet. The only thing you hear all day is the birds and light rain.
Everything inside the cottage is decorated so nicely and all appliances in the kitchen are top notch. Kimberly supplied everything we needed including a cute picnic bag which I'm so glad was there because we were able to take it with us on hikes and have snacks and sandwiches when we got hungry.
The one thing I will miss the most, other than the beautiful scenery, is that bathroom. My husband and I are making plans to model our dream bathroom after this. The tub was perfect after a long hike and that outdoor shower is so refreshing in the cool Big Island air.
Overall, this a must book stay especially if you have plans to see the Volcano National Park or if you are just looking for a quiet place to unwind. We can't wait to go back again one day.
