We loved our stay at the cottage! When we booked a year prior to our arrival the main goal was to stay close to Hawaii Volcano National Park and this place fit perfectly! We were able to do an evening visit to the park to see the lava glow which was one of my highlights of the trip. The whole process was smooth from check-in to check-out and communication was easy. The hosts are very responsive and really seem to want you to love the home as much as they love it. While the cottage is not central to all the activities on the Big Island (we stayed a week and did do a bit of driving a couple days to visit the other side of the island), it was such a charming place and our girls just loved it as did my husband and I. Mahalo!!
