If you love tropical wilderness and birdsong, you will definitely appreciate this little retreat just down the road from Volcanoes National Park. Even with the host's assistant living downstairs, it felt very private and peaceful. We arrived right after several days of rain and encountered an initial mustiness and dampness, but there was a dehumidifier on hand that dried out the rooms in short order. Everything was very clean and we had more than enough towels, dishes, and kitchen items for our one-night stay, plus a thoughtful little basket of fleece socks for the cooler hours. Overall, this little lodge has a cabin-in-the-woods feel, with extra-extraordinary woods--it is Hawaii! Only wish we'd had more time to sit on the deck and soak up the birdsong.
