Mike's Bamboo Retreat at Volcano National Park is such a peaceful place! It was perfect for our stay on the Big Island. The frogs and the birds serenaded us through the evening into early morning. The yard was lush and homey. The ride back up the one lane road was a great way to end a busy day. We made a stop by Costco and bought our meals for our stay and it was so nice to have family breakfasts and late night dinners around the dining room table. The coffee grinder and maker was phenomenal and we enjoyed all the different local beans! We were thankful for the washer, dryer and dishwasher. These all made our stay more pleasant. Mike and Victoria were very prompt and great at communicating. They also have a lot great local suggestions to enhance your experience on the big Island. I would highly recommend the Hilo and Volcano markets for local treats, fresh fruits and baked goods!
