The house is very nice and you definitely feel like you’re in the rain forest. The proximity to the park was fantastic, enabling us to go in and out more than once a day. There was just enough around as far as a few restaurants and one general store, although Aubrey made the good suggestion to buy groceries before we got there, which we did (we stopped in Hilo on our way). It was nice to come back to the peaceful house at the end of the day.
