Robin & Kris' cabin was perfect for our trip to the Big Island. The location couldn't have been better to access Volcanoes National Park. We were close enough that we were able to monitor the Kilauea eruption, and drive over at dusk when we saw it was active. Seeing the lava in person was an incredible experience.
It was also not far from Hilo, Waimea, and Mauna Kea - making it a great spot for exploring the island.
The cabin is tucked back in a gated lot across from Robin & Kris' home, and feels very private. The landscaping is beautiful, and you feel like you're in the middle of a rain forest. The cabin had a fully stocked kitchen, amenities like a washer & dryer, and a wood burning stove. There is no furnace, and it does get quiet chilly being at a higher elevation, so having the stove was nice and cozy.
Robin and Kris were easy to communicate with, yet we still had plenty of privacy. We especially enjoyed the fresh eggs and jam provided when we arrived. There are two small general stores nearby with some food options, but a short drive to Hilo provides access to grocery stores when needed.
Overall it was a great experience, and the location cannot be beat. We loved our time on the Big Island. Thanks Robin & Kris!
