We had an amazing stay at Ben's place in Volcano. The location was fantastic, just about 5 minute drive to the entrance of Volcanos National Park, and in a quiet picturesque neighborhood. The house is beautifully designed with rustic decor and nice detailing. There is a back porch with table and chairs to enjoy the cool temperatures while looking out into the lush backyard.
Ben did a great job of setting the place up well for travelers, with journaling/drawing supplies, a guitar, a speaker system board games, and nice little signs providing all the necessary instructions for the house. I also appreciated that leftover non-perishable food is passed along from guest to guest.
I don't know when the next time I'll be on the Big Island is, but I would definitely stay here again!
