Our family of 5, including our adult son/daughter in law and adult daughter stayed here for two nights in mid-January. It was a super convenient place to stay for visiting Volcanoes National Park, and we were so close to the park that we could go back to the house for lunch and then head back to do more hiking at the park. The space is just as pictured. No surprises.:) There is a nice porch area in the back but we only sat out there once as it was chilly other times. The first time we drove to the house we thought we must be in the wrong place as it seemed very remote but have no fear, it's there and it's very nice. We found everything to be clean, current and comfortable! This house like many in the Volcano area does not have central heating so the heat source is the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. It seemed to do a good job in the main area but I did feel a bit chilly in the master bedroom (furthest removed from the fireplace). There are extra blankets in the closets, so I was toasty enough under those! Would return here again!
