We stayed in Amanda's beautiful cottage for the last couple nights of our honeymoon! It's truly a special place and very comfortable, too—Amanda thought of every detail. The location is so peaceful. We fell asleep listening to the frogs and rain every night, and it was an easy drive to Volcano National Park. Amanda's local restaurant recommendations were also so good!
One word of warning: Pay attention to Amanda's written directions instead of relying on a navigation app! We used Apple Maps, and it took us on the wrong path down a long, unpaved dead end that veered into someone's private property. It was dark and rainy as a dog was barking at us to get out—not a great situation. Luckily, Amanda was very responsive when we reached out for help and actually called us to give us step-by-step directions to her place. We should have followed those from the beginning, so don't make our mistake!
