We arrived at Kaeo and Karl cottage under a stormy rain after driving the whole afternoon from Kona. It was so dark that we barely could see the car in front of us. It was hard to see the streets and landmarks Kaeo sent on the very detailed directions weeks in advance. So I recommend arriving when there is light. Kaeo was the most amazing hostess. Her first question was if we had dinner and since we said no, she immediately said there was quiche on the fridge and brought us a delicious salad. We had a great dinner inside the cozy cottage. The cottage is very comfortable with a queen size bed, four pilows and lots of covers for the chilly nights. The kitchen is full equipped and the bathroom very spacious - it is a separate room, so you need to go outside and enter the next door. The water is hot and the shower has good pressure. The cottage is totally isolated with a private lanai and garden full of beautiful plants and flowers. The famous banana bread was on the fridge and it was yummy! Next day we got fruit muffins, also yummy. You have to have in mind that you are in the middle of tropical rain forest with the next "town" (Volcano village) 30 minutes away. So come with all your adventurous spirit. It was a great experience and Kaeo is really one of the best hostess ever. She thought of every single detail and demonstrated really care for her guests. Mahalo Kaeo!!
