This is hands down the best Airbnb stay I’ve had to date! Todd is super helpful, the property is well-maintained and beautiful, and he thoughtfully provides all the essentials for a lovely trip to Volcano.
Some notes:
-Todd has a fully stocked kitchen in the maid’s quarters! There’s enough silverware / plates / pans to cook full meals for two. He provides some basics, such as oil and salt / pepper, so if you need something more, I’d bring it with you
-there’s a refrigerator available, so if you do some shopping in Hilo, you can bring enough food for a decently lengthen stay (we were there for 5 days and didn’t need to purchase a thing!)
-the location feels very private, and is a perfect romantic getaway into the mountains
-it can be chilly at night (we visited in September), and Todd provided blankets and firewood for the fireplace!
-the hot tub was perfect and private!
-Parking is in front of Todd’s house in a little U-shaped driveway that is reserved on one side for guests. Easy and convenient!
Overall, a beautiful house with lots of character and history. Todd is obviously a seasoned host with a knack for the fine details! I can’t wait to visit again!
