Amazing location for exploring Volcano National Park, and the gardens were stunning. The yard felt much bigger than it was - creating the illusion that we had hiked into the wilderness even though we were 15 steps from the deck. The house worked really well for our needs, with a decently stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets and slippers. Unfortunately the hot tub was broken when we arrived but Paola - the owner and our greeter - has a special gift to apologize for the timing of the unexpected repair. Speaking of Paola, you couldn’t ask for a nicer welcome, as she walked us through the space, had loads of materials to offer for recommendations and hikes, and gave us tips on where to eat. At the end of our time there, my father-in-law had misplaced his guidebook, so she sent him along with one of her own. (It’s in the mail on its way back to you, Paola!) There were a few small inconveniences (light bulbs out, provided toiletries needing to be restocked, dehumidifier on its last leg) but it didn’t ruin our fun.
