We enjoyed the hot tub and the proximity to Volcano National Park and the local restaurants. The kitchen is extremely small and somewhat cluttered and minimal and the futon couch in the living room was not the most comfortable for sitting. We enjoyed the tiny electric fireplace and it was a great base for exploring the area. The hosts are very responsive and they took the time to send us a link to a news report about the area regarding the volcanic eruption as we were wondering about the air quality. If you need a good base to explore the park and plan on having sore muscles this is a great place for a couple of days.
