My husband and I went on our one year anniversary with my parents and stayed at lauras place for 5 nights! The location is high-ish up in elevation and could possibly hurt ones head with the pressure or vog (volcano fog) and yes there is a lot of it. But this place has amazing views and a decent location not too far from a marketplace(5minutes) or kona town (15 minutes). The owners do not live there, they live in california, luckily roy, lauras husband was there to talk to us a little and gave us some advice. There is a code lock on the door and a tenant below. Besides it being a little unclean, with dust and spider webs, this was the only part we disliked..we felt like we were bothering them and had to tip toe around because the floors are loud and you can hear everything through the walls...literally everything..including the animals all night. But the views are stunning and location and hospitality were great, would definitely recommend!
