Julie’s place was the perfect quiet retreat. Nestled into the fern forests of volcano national park, you are just minutes away from trails, the caldera, and many of the best restaurants on big island. The cottage is silent. It’s the perfect writers retreat or couples vacation. The patio has a gas fireplace for having coffee or tea or maybe even wine. The fireplace kept us cozy and warm. The kitchen had everything we needed. If solitude and peace is what you are craving, you will find it here. Highly recommended.
