This is the perfect little jungle retreat for those looking for a central location on the East side of the island.
Cooler than the beach towns, Mountain View provided us with some excellent nights of sleep (the rainforest sounds are delightful).
Clay is a sweetheart and helped us promptly when we locked ourselves out of the house.
Everything was sparkling clean and well thought of. They had a full jug of water and Keurig coffee for us.
They also leave some EPIC old DVDs about the Volcanoes NP and lava - we watched one a night and couldn’t get enough of it.
Volcano city has some really nice restaurants so we were 15 minutes from a wonderful dinner every night.
No brainer if you want a central, quiet, and local experience on the Hilo side!
