We had a fantastic experience at Sri’s cottage. The place is tastefully decorated and has all the amenities for modern life (gas stove, refrigerator, washer/dryer, little heater in the living room) in a rural community. As the description says bring a lot of water and buy groceries at Kona or Hilo. There isn’t much in the way of stores nearby. Volcanoes National Park is 5 mins away and we totally loved the night time drive to see lava flow! We will do this again when we visit the Island.
