We can not rave enough about The Enchanted Treehouse. And , it is an Enchanted Tree House! Our plan was to spend a few days hiking and exploring in and around Volcano National Park. The park entrance is only 5-10 minutes away. But , we found ourselves heading back to Shannon's place for afternoon chilling. Reading books or relaxing in the outdoor sitting area under the Tree House. Even in a rain storm, this place was totally dry. You are surrounded by beautiful gardens of flowers and birds. The Tree House itself, was a perfect place for us to get away from it all. Truly magical. Shannon was very responsive to our questions. Volcano National Park can get very crowded. Think busloads of tourists. Shannons place was very convenient for us to get to the park at a reasonable time, and do some awesome hiking before the crowds arrived. We could also get in to the park after 5pm, when the crowds thinned. It was a different experience being on an expanse of frozen lava lake with just us compared to when we were getting in our car and there was than 100's of people trekking across. Shannons place is minutes away from the local restaurants, the Lava Rock Cafe and Cafe Ohelo were our favorites. These were also part of Shannon's suggestions. Shannon's place was truly a find!
