The Secret Garden is a lovely place and conveniently located for exploring the Volcano area and National Park. The accommodations are nice and the house was clean and well stocked when we arrived. Unfortunately, our visit was compromised by a significant storm ("blizzard" up high, several inches of rain and high winds in Volcano). Electrical power to the entire Volcano area was lost and did not return for more than 24 hours, leaving us without lights, internet, water, and cooking options apart from using the wood stove (which we did). The house had flashlights (only one that worked), a gallon of potable water in the fridge, and a jug for toilet water for when the power is lost. We gather that power outages are not an uncommon occurrence at this property. Jeff did his best to communicate with us and offer his assistance, but there was little he could do, so we left early and descended to Hilo for different accommodations.
