YOU NEED TO STAY HERE!
I have to say the pictures do not capture how beautiful this place is. This is by far the most magical place we've stayed. The room is huge, the bathroom/rain water shower is amazing, it has a beautiful private deck that looks out onto the lava rock, the common area is so welcoming, I cannot say enough great things about this place. The wood work is awe inspiring to say the least! They are a self sustained property which is so cool. You will not find a more unique and comfortable home. They provide bath towels, soft robes, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, WIFI, TV (although who would want to watch that when you have those views!) And the hosts are so welcoming, so kind, so eager to tell you about the history and the area.
The home isn't hard to find but if this is your first time in that area I wouldn't recommend doing it in the dark if you don't have to. We drove from Kona and got there much later (the sun goes down a lot sooner than you think so just plan to get their earlier) Even so, they were so helpful in getting us there it wasn't hard at all.
There is so much to explore nearby and they're so helpful in telling you where to go. There is a black sand beach that was just created nearby. There is a green sand beach, the National Park is so close (even though it was closed when we went- it's open now I believe) We weren't sure what to expect with the volcano so close, we didn't know if roads would be closed or what, but they weren't and we had no trouble getting there. You can see steam coming up from part of the road on the way there- which was super cool.
This place is so special. Trust me, you will remember it for the rest of your life - I know we will. Mahalo for your hospitality and what you do for your community. We will be back soon!
