We just spent 3 nights at Scott's Mountain View cottage. What a wonderful place to unwind and escape the crowds! It is 10 minutes down a very bumpy road but well worth the drive.
The location is perfect, allowing for a quick drive up to the Volcano Park on one day and a quick drive down to Kona - if you're spending a couple of days there.
The cottage is appointed for relaxation, from the hot tub to a great kitchen and even rain umbrellas to borrow when you are heading out. Also rainbows aplenty as the mist moves in and out throughout the day.
