The home is in a beautiful neighborhood adjacent to the golf course, in a quiet secluded community and VERY close to the National Park entrance making it easy to go to dinner in the little town and hit the Volcano viewing point at night time! The communication with Jim right off the bat was easy- and the directions he provided with photos were helpful. When we arrived the cottage was just as we hoped - quaint, cute, cozy and peaceful. It was fun having our name on the sign and having Barry there to greet us and show us all the light switches and added comforts for our stay (like a stocked kitchen with bread, milk, coffee, fruit, cereal, etc!). We love the extra touches and thought that were put towards the guests comfort. We loved the guidebooks, maps, restaurant suggestions and propane fireplace for our stay. We took Barry's advice and had an early dinner before going to see the caldera and we were able to skip the crowds. The grounds and landscaping around the cottage were gorgeous and we wanted to have our meals or afternoon drinks outside in the backyard. We didn't really want to leave the cottage to go to the park since it was so comfy! We definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return for future stays at the Volcano National Park. It was a perfect size for our family (two kids ages 3 and 6 and two adults). The cleanliness and attention to detail were so appreciated and we had such a comfortable stay. We left the CRC feeling like family!
