My husband and I loved staying with Lily and Brian! Their place is very secluded, in the middle of the rainforest, and we fell asleep each night serenaded by the jungle sounds around us. The cottage we stayed in was a beautiful space.
Lily and Brian are the friendliest, most hospitable people you could ever meet! When we arrived they gave us a tour of their space and all their amenities—I only wish we’d had more time here to enjoy a dip in the hot tub! And they provided breakfasts for us every morning that were delicious—we were in Hawaii for two weeks and stayed in several locations, and we think our breakfast of French toast and bacon prepared by Brian was the best breakfast we ate throughout our whole vacation! Brian gave us a great overview of what sights to see in Volcanoes National Park, which we definitely appreciated—it’s always better to hear what to see/not see from a local who actually knows what he’s talking about!
They have four dogs and two cats. My husband and I are definitely cat people so when we first met the four barking dogs we were a little intimidated. But the dogs were very friendly, and their orange kitty joined us for breakfast one morning.
I would highly recommend staying with Lily and Brian!
