The place is very close to the Volcano National Park, which is fantastic. Note that there are basically no grocery stores in or near the park (very different from Kona or Hilo) - wish we had taken this into consideration! Host is on premise in a neighboring house, so we just ran over to ask where salt and pepper were. Although there is one bedroom, the five of us slept just fine on two beds and one couch. No washer/drier. Thoughtful touches such as specialty lotions and a variety of teas. I particularly enjoyed the passion fruit tea. Can't beat the location!
