This little cabin is an off grid delight! I am an entrepreneur in Kona and wanted to absolutely be away from anything that resembled work and I wanted to take my pup along. The little cabin was sparkling clean and was not cold at all. The shower was super hot in the afternoon and evening after the solar had charged up the "on demand" system. I did an electronics fast and completely unplugged. Since this unit is off grid that was perfect. It was so incredibly quiet too. I have stayed in other places in the volcano area and they had coqui's. Even though you are in the rainforest not a peep was heard. I did a 3 day diet cleanse as well and the little kitchen was well equipped for simple meals and a big chest style refrigerator . It had a gas stove, which I love cooking on gas stoves, so that was awesome too. My little pup was totally relaxed here too. Other places we've stayed at in Volcano were too busy for him and he seemed a little nervous. Not at Andy's. My little mini poodle felt completely at home. I could tell because after coming back from hiking when we turned onto the road he started making his excited little barks that he makes when he really likes a place. Thoughtful extras provided by the host included, spa style robes for me, a ball, a can of dog food and little doggie sweater for my pup. We hope to be able to break away again soon for another retreat. Thank you!
