A hidden gem tucked away near the small town of Volcano. Close to Volcanoes National Park (a five minute drive to the Kilauea entrance) but no worries about errant lava flows! Currently there are small eruptions contained to the crater. The recent and massive eruption of 2018 went 20 miles underground before devastating the coastal area near the town of Pahoa. But I digress. We loved staying at Lee’s place - “modern Hawaiian contemporary” for lack of a better description. Very clean and very tidy with nice touches like live orchids, dimmable lighting, and decorated with many cool photography pictures from Lee himself. The picture of the bed and sitting area in the listing does not do justice as the room is quite large and comfy with a large screen TV tucked away in a beautiful cabinet, coffee maker with delicious fresh ground Hawaiian coffee provided, microwave, fridge, toaster oven, and so on. Very large bathroom with huge shower area. There were Big Island guide books and personal recommendations for hikes and other activities in a binder provided by the host. Oh and the beautiful grounds - you are basically in the middle of a tropical rain forest! A hammock, swing, and sitting area is provided in the front lawn. Beautiful little front porch area and landing. We didn’t not expect much, but the place exceeded our expectations. We did not interact much with the host as Covid Omicron was going on, but other communication was above and beyond. Kudos Lee!
