Volcano Arts Cottage is as charming at the description and photos say. Since the lush garden in which the cottage is located is closed to the public from around 4 p.m. until 9 or 10 the next morning, privacy is complete. The kitchenette has a stove top, microwave oven and under-the-counter refrigerator and there is a small propane barbecue (which we didn’t use) outside the front door. The cottage is “cozy;” as one review said, “it is comfortable for one person or an intimate pair.” Volcano is at about 3500 feet altitude and the weather in early March was cool and rainy, but the cottage’s propane heater quickly warmed the space and the electric mattress pad made the bed very welcoming. Ira was a gracious host and made us feel very welcome, including providing breakfast supplies of coffee, granola and milk for it, yogurt, fresh fruit, and a loaf of banana nut bread. We can recommend the cottage as a special place to stay when visiting the village of Volcano.
