This is a beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Very comfortable place, and cozily tucked away with a lot of beautiful greenery around the house. The bed and furniture was comfy, and the various appliances functioned great, and the kitchen was well-stocked in cutlery and plates. Great spot if you’re wanting to visit the Volcano National Park as it’s just down the road. The park especially is a great place where you can easily spend hours or a whole day. Even with the government shut down there was still plenty to check out and explore. Hilo is a bit of a drive but a good place if you’re looking for more stores and restaurants and a general city vibe. It’ll be good to stock up on groceries before heading up as that sort of shopping can be limited. As for food, our favorite by far was the Aunty Pon’s Thai food truck at the Cooper Center. About as close as the Volcano Park and offers excellent food and great service. Greta helped a lot with tips and advice on what to check out during our stay. Overall a great place to stay at, just be careful with the stairs at the front door as it can be slippery when it rains.
