Such a wonderful place to stay! I feel lucky to have gotten this gem as my first-ever airbnb experience. The property is beautifully maintained and easy to find (using Lily and Brian's instructions) and only about 15 minutes drive away from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The guest room was bright, clean, comfortable, quiet, and well-stocked with all the things we forgot to bring with us. I felt instantly at home in there.

Brian warned us that the peace and quiet would make us sleep late the next day and he was right! We woke up the next morning/afternoon to playful, friendly dogs on the lawn and homemade coffee cake and fresh fruit on the lanai. And then after driving and hiking all over the park, all I could think about was getting back into that soft bed. Zzzzz...

I only wish that we had stayed a third night, which might have given us time to hang out with our hosts. Brian and Lily have put a lot of effort and thought into making the guest room, the property, and even their own home into a welcoming and generous environment. I'll definitely try to stay at Chateau Kilauea again next time I visit Volcanoes NP.
