Ben's volcano home is fantastic! We were there June 4-6 '18 and got to experience some small tremors from the volcano but the major activity was well away (~50 min drive and well below this Volcano location's elevation) and we felt safe. The house is stylish roomy and we found it inviting for a our family of 4. He has all the ammenities washer dryer detergent toiletries kitchen supplies wifi netflix to keep your crew happy. Ben had great suggestions for activities and it was touching to have him checking on my family and keeping us well informed and providing resources during our stay. Volcano is a safe place and Ben will make you feel like ohana. No concerns and the air quality was good every day, better than Moderate Kona.
Explore the park or quick drive to Hilo waterfalls lava tubes. Hope to be back someday Ben, Aloha and Mahalo!
