This is a great space, beautiful and private but a very close drive to the little town of Volcano and the park entrance. It was also an easy trip into Hilo, a very cute city with interesting beaches if weather permits. Do watch your speed as the entire trip into Hilo is downhill and we saw a lot of unmarked police cars making speeding stops.
The house is spacious and well laid out for a family or group of friends. The high ceilings in the living area and owner's suite give a great feeling of space. The fire place and lighting give great ambiance. I didn't think I'd use the outdoor shower but it turned out we used it every day we were there! Beautiful stars at night and bird/frog sounds throughout the day to help you relax. We would definitely stay again.
If you are a coffee person, there is only a french press so make sure the coffee you purchase is not ground for a drip machine!
