Mark / Lucretia’s place is pretty much ideal for visits to Volcanoes National Park. It is very clean, comfortable and well equipped.
Although a car is required, the park is very close. We would spend the day at the park, come back for dinner, then return to the park for evening / night or early morning adventures.
The town of Volcano is close, and has food, gas and other amenities. M & L provide a really good list of restaurants and other places in Volcano in their folder at the cabin.
However, with the well equipped place, we recommend stocking up at a Hilo grocery store before heading up to the cabin. (Don’t forget a full tank of gas! Hawaii is a big island.). All utensils required for preparing meals are provided, except food.
Whoever decorated the place did an exceptional job! Very comfortable and pleasing for such a small place. Great place to get warm and dry after a long day in the park.
Don’t let occasional rain bother you! Bring a slicker and hike the amazing trails in all weather. Get out a ways and experience viewing rare, beautiful and endangered Hawaiian plants and wildlife first hand. Nothing like experiencing a rain forest in the rain! If you are lucky Pele will be putting on a show for you as well!
Over all very good value, comfortable and well appointed for Volcanos National Park visitors. Highly recommended for a couple.
Aloha,
