quiet and away from the crowds- this cabin is really nice and you will have everything you need to cook meals and relax on the deck. we loved the hot tub at night under the glow of the crater. Def would recommend. we tried most of the restaraunts out in Volcano and wasn't super impressed. Kilauea Lodge was kind of a train wreck the night we went. just a heads up that restaraunts out here are very hit and miss. Hilo isn't far and has plenty of grocery stores and a few decent places to eat.
