Scott's cottage was just as described. The home was clean and welcoming when we arrived. Prior to arrival, Scott did warn us of rough road conditions leading to the home due to recent rains, but we were able to safely navigate down the street in a sedan both during the day and after dark. Scott responded very quickly to questions we had about the property and was able to stop by with an flashlight for our trip to see the lava after dart within minutes of our request! As others have mentioned, the coffee is amazing. The house is ~35min from both Hilo and Volcanoes National Park.
