If you are looking for somewhere beautiful to stay on your trip to the big island, definitely make a stop here. The forest surrounding this airbnb is phenomenal and the airbnb itself if cozy and clean. Shannon also has the place pretty well stocked with things you may have forgotten, like sunscreen (oops). Its only about a 20 minute drive to a Target if you need anything and just minutes from Volcano National Park. If you are looking for adventure activities , you may find yourself doing a lot of driving (like to Kona), but with all of the gorgeous views, it is well worth it.
