My hubby and I really had a fantastic 3 night stay at Brian & Lily's little cabin. They were full of gems & tips that made a big difference in our trip. If you're inclined, ask them about markets, lava tubes, hiking trails in Volcanos National Park, restaurants, cheaper fuel, money-saving tips, etc. Their generous spirit is hard to beat. We truly enjoyed having breakfast with them and sharing in conversations. The cabin is well-equipped with fresh water, towels, beauty products, reading material and plenty of hot water. Having access to their washer/dryer was also helpful. The cabin is so close to the park... It was great!
Just be warned, you must love dogs and cats. For having so many pets, we admire how well they try to train them to not jump on guests. They will give you quite the lick bath though!! We loved it but you've been warned lol...
