Joan's place was awesome! You get a real feel for living in the country & the wet side of the island (East side). There is plenty of room to walk around & enjoy the animals, landscaping, & fresh air. The cottage has its own fenced back yard for privacy, full stove & oven, large fridge, great hot water, & very comfortable queen bed. The Volcano Village is about 1/2 away, so easy access to food and groceries. We would highly recommend this place to any travelers looking for a great place to stay!
