Bamboo Retreat is close to the entrance to Volcano National Park (15 min) yet far enough away from the main road that you truly do feel like you are staying in a retreat. The house was a good fit for our family of 4 and we enjoyed our stay. The host had spot on directions to the house, which was greatly appreciated considering the long day of travel and arriving at dark; in addition to quick responses to the couple questions I had during our stay.
If you haven’t been, a few days in this house while hiking the park is a fun and active family vacation. Then do what we do and spend a week on the Kona side to relax after.
