Great spot to explore the National park. The cottage is very cute and very clean with a comfortable bed. Nice outdoor shower. It’s definitely cooler up in this area so make sure you bring a sweater and rain coat. There were space heaters which were helping in the morning. Also do stop for groceries near Hilo as there aren’t a ton of options in Volcano. The hot tub wasn’t available when we were there but I think it will be a nice addition.
