A really cool off-the-grid house! Very comfortable. We walked to the lava (you can also rent bikes, or take a "shuttle"...shuttle is a rip-off, but the bikes will cut your time to the lava for sure), sat on the ledge, waited for sunset, and watched the earth being born...amazing!! This house is about 4 miles from the lava flow, mainly down a gravel road, and then a short hike over old lava to the view point. The outdoor shower is HOT..tip: just use the washcloth, get it wet, and fan it in the air to cool it a bit before scrubbing the lava dust from your body! Made some french press coffee in the morning, sat on the lanai, and watched the plume from a distance. Just make sure to stop and get any snacks or groceries on your way in, since you are a ways from everything. Water was provided at the house. Totally recommend!!
