Joshua's volcano home was really great. We enjoyed living "off the grid" and had no need for the generator. Glad we had an SUV to navigate the road, as the last 2 miles are bumpy. The house is more off the beaten path than expected, but we enjoyed the privacy and backwoods locale. There were many nice touches in the home for travelers - magazines, etc. We appreciated the lovely gift left for us on Christmas day - very thoughtful. The outside shower was a lot of fun, and a highlight of our experience. There are some mosquitoes while enjoying the outside porch, but that is to be expected (thanks for the bug spray). There were many welcoming touches making use of the kitchen easy (coffee, cooking spices, etc.). Staying at the volcano house is a unique experience that my family will cherish for years to come.
