Kristin is an INCREDIBLE HOST! Prompt communication, easy self check-in, and had excellent recommendations for the volcano and surrounding areas! Also left little notes and personal touches around the space. The space is quaint and cozy! My partner and I stayed one night, coming from a day trip in Hilo and wanting to overnight before the volcano exploration the next day. Our vacation base was Kona and the Volcano area was definitely cooler, and misty, in temperature. Pack a light jacket or sweater. The space has AWESOME electric blankets and a space heater, which was plenty for us. The coqui frogs sing all night long and the sunny windows let the sunrise wake you! It’s a paradise. Def would recommend for a single or couples stay. Would stay again and recommend!
Ps in town there is a little general store called Volcano Store. It’s wooden and doesn’t look like much, but ended up being one of those unexpected impactful memories from our trip. We stopped in for snacks before checking into Kristin’s, met the sweetest store keep, and upon her recommendation stopped by the next AM for the store owners homemade Musubi! A delightfully tasty snack before volcano hikes. And as she told us, get there early because it’s a favorite breakfast of the locals as well. We arrived at 7am and only few were left. It’s a quaint store, worth the visit!
