This little gem is a very special place! Our family of 5 (kids ages 16, 14 and 11) stayed for two nights to explore volcano national park. This place is definitely off the beaten path and has a very bumpy dirt road with tons of pot holes, but once you get the hang of it it feels like a ride a Disney world. Once you get through the gate you are transported to a very private jungle house (except for the other property that is right next door that is owned by the same couple). Sitting on the porch and listening to the birds sing at night is truly magical! From the pictures, I was excited for the swinging bed, but that space isn’t as inviting in person. The lanai and house are very well decorated. The only negative is you should expect a few small ants if you cook. We were careful, but still had a few. Also, there are very limited cooking supplies. You should also know that if you want to have any food or do any cooking you should get it in either Hilo or Kona. There are some restaurants, but outside the park some are listed on Wednesday or Thursdays and the really good Thai truck runs out of the best sellers (like pad Thai) early. We loved hiking in the park, especially the night hikes to watch the lava glow. That is a must! Then come back and take a bath in the outdoor tub and hear the birds! Just magical! Dana was very responsive and helpful! Overall, a great experience.
