The house was wonderful! It was exactly as described and perfect for our party of five. The front bedroom was just right for my mother, the second bedroom with twin beds worked great for my 22 year old son and 13 year old daughter and the master bedroom was exactly what my husband and I needed! The house served as a great home base. Our first night we had a delicious dinner in Pahoa at Kaleo's, just minutes from the house. We were able to easily drive to Volcano National Park where we hiked to the lava lake! Afterward we drove chain of craters road and had wonderful time wine-tasting at Volcano Winery and ended the day with a great dinner at Thai Thai in Volcano. We also made trips to the beach, Hilo and Akaka Falls! Breakfast on the lanai was a treat and when it rained I was able to discuss with my daughter how the rain water collection worked providing a hands on science lesson. While we were there we were very happy to meet Faith, she is a wonderful host and was happy to answer any questions and provide suggestions.
