Wow. Our stay here was awesome. Our room was super clean and the shower was very nice - big, clean, good water pressure. The private porch off of our room had an incredible view at night - tons of stars in the sky, and lava glowing just a few miles away. That view alone is worth staying here!
Lauren and Matt were great hosts, giving us lots of tips of where we should go in the area. They even provided us with snorkel gear, a backpack, water bottles, and headlamps so we could hike out to the lava at night! They really have thought of everything.
If you are into sustainability, you will be extra impressed with this place. Lauren and Matt have done the majority of the work building this place themselves, and they've made it super eco-friendly without sacrificing any comforts or luxuries (ex: All solar powered. Compost. Collect and filter all the water used there)
I wasn't sure what to expect with the shared kitchen, but it worked out fine. There's a really big kitchen table so we always had space. It was fun to be able to chat with other people in the kitchen too. There's also a large map on the wall in the kitchen with pins of where all the visitors have come from...that was pretty cool.
Note that when driving here, you may feel like you're not going the right way...there's not a lot of houses out this way, but follow Lauren's instructions and you will be fine.
Highly recommend staying here - it's a great deal and the location is just...incredible! Staying on the lava flow made it feel like we were on another planet!
