We loved our stay in this charming and clean cottage! If you, like us, want to avoid the drive to Volcano National Park from Kona (or even Hilo) to maximize your time in the park, this is as perfect a location as it can get. It is near to the small town of Volcano, so you can get your meals in between your hikes and going back to the park for lava viewing :) If you want to do stargazing you can just do it at the cottage. The coqui sounds will keep you company when outside but the cottage has good enough insulation to not disturb your sleep. Depending on the time of the year, the towels may get a bit muggy due to the humidity, so don't forget to use the dehumidifier to remedy that!
