Andy’s place was located in a great spot for checking out Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea! We unfortunately never met Andy or the dogs but we were still met with great hospitality and local tips. We especially liked laying in bed and watching the sky change through the windows- definitely a unique view from bed. If you like long, hot showers and endless electricity, then this might not be the place for you. Propane is used to heat the water- which works well, you just have to be patient. Solar energy is used for lighting and whatnot. We didn’t have any issues running out, but we did bring headlamps “just in case” knowing this ahead of time. In all, it’s a pretty cool spot and is in a great location for checking out nearby volcanoes. Thank you for the coffee, eggs, and bananas!
