Mike's cabin was the perfect place to stay to explore Volcanoes National Park and to enjoy the peace and quiet of the jungle. My wife and I stayed for 4 nights during our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. This gave us enough time to explore VNP, drive to Kalapana and bike to the lava flow, and to just relax and enjoy the cabin.
The location is perfect. It's less than 10 minutes from the entrance of the park and we found ourselves going early in the morning to beat the crowd and after dark to see the volcano glow from the Jagger Museum. The cabin is completely secluded but only a short drive from the highway. Just over the highway there are several restaurants and convenience stores. We really enjoyed dinner at the Kilauea Lodge.
The cabin itself is beautiful and charming. Mike has thought of absolutely everything and was very attentive to any needs we had. We could see the sunrise from our bed and on a clear night we could see the moon and stars. The cabin can be chilly at night and the area can get cold and rainy, so pack accordingly. One night we took advantage of the fireplace which was great.
Mike was the best airbnb host I've had and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
