Close to the national park with everything we needed for our adventure. The fireplace is easy to use and keeps the living room cozy rain or shine. A handy umbrella in the coat rack and covered parking made it easy to load and unload our gear and stay dry. It rained off and on but we got to see the glow of lava at Halema’uma’u after the sky cleared up at night and did some great hiking through the Hawaiian forest and around some lava fields on many of the Park’s trails. The home was clean and well designed with more than enough room for our group of 4. The master bedroom had its own heater which we didn’t need and the bathroom was modern and stylish. We made good use of the kitchen - the complimentary snacks were a nice treat. Would definitely recommend to a family looking for a comfy home base for exploring the volcano and Ka`ū.
