This is truly THE place you want to stay at while visiting the Volcano area!!!! We stayed for only 3 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage is a real retreat and is the perfect place to experience the hawaiian forest and nature. It is a magical place with many plants and birds. The interior of the cottage is just as great. The place is neat, comfortable and tastefully decorated. There are heaters in every room to make it comfortable at night. The bed is very comfortable and you get to see bright shining stars at night from the huge bedroom windows!!!!

We met Candice and Richard on our arrival and they were very generous with us. They took the time to walk us through every detail of the cottage. They were also very patient giving us lots of information on hiking possibilities and on the park. They are very nice people and they are very dedicated in arranging everything so we feel comfortable in their cottage. While talking with both of them we got to learn a little bit about their values in life. They are nature-conscious people and they are also respectful of other people. We really had the feeling that renting their cottage to us was more about sharing their secret place than about business.

The location of the cottage is just as perfect as the rest! You are only at a 5 minute drive from the Volcano National Park. The neighbourhood is very calm. It's also nice to go for a walk on the street as there is very little traffic and everything is so green! We also felt very safe in the surroundings.

We sincerely thank Richard and Candice for sharing their special place with us.
