The listing said that this location was close to volcano national park and was quite chilly and remote. This description was accurate and for the most part the area was private...there is a house right next to the studio, in fact it seems like the studio is built on top of the old garage kind of close- full curtains for the option of privacy would have been nice. A way to play movies would also be nice. The heater is a small electric one that mainly heats the wall that it was attached to, but luckily the awesome jacuzzi and extra blankets kept us warm. Besides a few minor glitches the property was nice and we would come back for a 2nd visit-perhaps with our little girl next time.
