This place has it all - unique scenery, comfortable, private, and spacious rooms, with gorgeous lanai to see all of the lava and stars. The shared kitchen is super well stocked of supplies, has a welcoming feel, and is very clean, and we met other interesting travelers by hanging out there. The off-grid power and water setups are impressive and inspiring. You will never stay anywhere like this. It’s off the beaten path, which has its pros and cons, but rest assured, nowhere is super far away; you could still get anywhere on the island and back in a day. Hilo is about 40 minutes and the park entrance just under an hour. Both doable even for evening activities and getting back here.
