We enjoyed our short stay in this home. We wished to visit Hawaii Volcano National Park, which is about one mile from this house, and the house accommodated all nine of us very nicely. It was well-kept and very comfortable, with good beds and good gathering places. It has a private yard that is a big outdoor space, and we could watch wild pheasants roam around until we came outside, when they would suddenly, poof, disappear! It was nice to see art on the walls, the bed pillow covers were beautiful, and I loved the reading room.

Our hosts were great. Miliani even kindly emailed me some suggestions before we headed down to Volcano, and upon arrival, our hosts greeted us warmly, then gave us a brief tour of the house and answered any questions regarding the house and the Volcano area before they left. We appreciated their introduction.

One particular advantage of this house is that it is so close so to the National Park. We were able to visit the park in daytime, and then come back to the house for dinner, and return again to the park at night to see the volcano crater glowing orange through it's lava lake and steam, a spectacular sight, but drive only a few minutes home to bed. A great advantage, I think.

Miliani and Don made us feel very welcome. We liked their house. We also loved their gift of two beautifully made jars of jelly, plus butter and good bread and crackers! Aloha, indeed.

Thank you both for such a pleasant experience,

Chris Ann
