The cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was exactly as described, but somehow even more awesome than expected. The garden grounds were so calm and relaxing.
Volcano itself is a great little mountain town with morning drizzles and good 'tin roof' rains at nice. Very relaxing. Ira was a gracious host that provided us with everything we needed as well as valuable information about the surrounding areas, what to get into, and where to dine.
This stay defined our 3rd anniversary and we are already looking for reasons to get back there ASAP.
