What a little slice of paradise! Shannon has just the right touch. This place was something out of a Hawaiian Home and Gardens! It was lovely. Loved the recommendation for the local restaurant called Ohelo. Make sure you make reservations it is amazing. The location is situated so that you can drive To volcano National Park visiting center and everywhere you would need to be up there. Shannon was an excellent host and we felt as though we had our own little private Shangri-La. The setup was great so that you could cook a meal if you wanted to. Everything was clean and neat. We would come again.
