We absolutely loved staying at Ira's cottage! Situated down the road from the main entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, we had an easy time hopping over to the park for some amazing hiking and exploring. Then, we came back and had a delicious lunch at Cafe Ono next door to the cottage. We enjoyed using the hot tub in a light rain, since there's a convenient little overhang. We so appreciated all the fresh fruitand homemade banana bread too! We just don't have papaya as good as Hawaii back home!! Thanks again Ira for being a wonderful host.
