We were a little skeptical as to the house based on the location but when we pulled into the driveway and walked through the house, it was amazing. My husband, mother in law and I were staying in the house and there was plenty of room for all of us. We had the whole house to ourselves. The house was pristine and the garden was extraordinary. My mother-in-law loved the garden and balconies. My husband loved the whole house, balcony and the BBQ. I loved the master bedroom with the shower leading to the deck. This is the ideal place if you want to visit the Volcanoes at night. It was about 10 minute drive to the Volcano park. It's about a 30 min drive from Safeway in Hilo (or any major supermarket), so I would recommend picking up groceries before heading there. Gas is also expensive on the mountain, so it's a good idea to gas up before heading up.
We all loved this sanctuary. The house was a unique experience and would definitely love staying there again. Thanks for letting us stay in your sanctuary!
