Eileen’s home was absolutely incredible. It’s clear she has a background in hospitality or is just an incredibly wonderful host because each and every element to this space is so clearly well thought out and considerate of the traveler staying within. We loved counting the birds every day and enjoying the many stylish touches throughout the house. The home is located 10 mins away from the Volcano National Park, and close by to a (very few) shops and restaurants. Plan on bringing your food from bigger supermarkets in Kona or Hilo (and cooking supplies) if you’re going to take advantage of Eileen’s great kitchen (we made breakfast lunch and dinner for 2 days!) because the general store is CRAZY expensive, but good if you’re in a pinch. All in all, we loved the experience of staying in the Birdhouse and will be thinking about this trip for a long time. Thank you for being a small, but wonderfully lovely part of our Big Island adventure !
