This is definitely a GEM in the rough. Simon & Jeri are very fast in responding to questions and made our stay very comfortable and easy. They have got everything you need. From doing laundry to making breakfast before you hit the road. If you like birds chirping non-stop and the sound of the forest. You might want to consider that. For us it was great we love those sounds. Another thing you want to consider is that there is no street light in that area and some of the roads are one lane only. Not an issue for us. We picked this house mainly because it is very close to the Volcano Nation Park and it is less than 30 min. away. If you want to go look at the lava flow, making visiting the park at night very practical. Overall we really enjoyed staying there and will recommend this place to my friends and family.
