Awesome home base for exploring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the rest of the island. It was great to taking short trips to HVNP to see the incredible sight of the Kilauea lava lake at night (after the crowds left) and before sunrise (before the crowd arrived). It is an amazing experience not to be missed. We always looked forward to returning to the cottage after a long day exploring. The cottage is exactly as advertised and we throughly enjoyed our stay.
