Ira’s place is a delight. The cabin is very cozy but a bit of a challenge for older folks. Despite some accessibility issues for my 75 years, we enjoyed our stay. To clarify: there is hardly any space for suitcases and these must be carried from your car because of the pebbled path. Temperatures get down into the 40’s at night and the electric heater is ineffectual. Younger folk probably would not care. We loved the café for lunch with delicious vegetarian choices.
The location is perfect for getting into Volcano National Park – only a two mile drive makes it convenient to go and return during the day and at night after the crater display.
