Amazing stay, the hosts let us know the volcano was erupting the day we stayed and guided us on where to see it. Truly made my birthday a memorable day!

A very unique experience. Hosts are 5 stars . Excellent communication. House is stocked with everything you might need to enjoy your vacation. Be sure to stop in Hilo or a bigger town if you need groceries……close by options in Volcano are small on food offerings. Loved the stone work in the bathroom! Karaoke in house was an unexpected good time!
