Our stay at the Laukapu cottage was truly wonderful! We have stayed a lot of places and this was the best. I’m a bit of a home design buff, and this is one of the most thoughtfully designed cottages I’ve ever seen. Attention to detail is wonderful. Kathryn is a great hostess. We were there during the government shut down, but Kathryn was so knowledgeable about the volcano and it’s geology, including recent changes, that we felt we really understood what we were seeing despite the lack of rangers. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity, you will really enjoy staying here.
