This is the nicest and most peaceful place we’ve stayed in the state. Very, very close to Volcanoes NP. Since the volcano-viewing was all night for us, we really wanted a comfortable, peaceful place to rest in the day, and I think Catherine’s place is about the best you can do on the whole island. Great kitchen, too, which is important for me, as we did quite a bit of cooking. The pond outside the kitchen window was a nice bonus. The property the house is on, and the surrounding area, are both exceptionally beautiful and filled with big old trees.
