Great location for visiting Hawai'i Volcano National Park; just minutes away. The place is pretty isolated, literally at the end of a long road off the main highway. Yet, it's minutes from Volcano Village, which seems to have a decent number of good restaurants. And it's a convenient base for visiting Hilo and other points on that part of the Big Island. It is chilly, so dress appropriately. We had to run the heater occasionally to warm the place up. There's a fireplace that we never figured out how to run, so ask Michael or Leah about that when you check in. They're great hosts; friendly and helpful.
