Cozy stay just 5 minute drive to Volcano National Park, Winery and Golf!

After following our GPS to the property which was easy to find even in the dark we pulled into the covered parking area. The door to the room is inside the garage with a passcode and once you get in the room is to your right, the bathroom is directly ahead, and a keypad protected door to the rest of your house is to the right. You are given a key to lock the door to the room, as well as a pair of flashlights if you need them. The room itself has a high table to eat at, shower across from the door, cabinet with plates, utensils, cups and a kitchenette on top of it including a coffee maker which the host kindly provided guidance on how to get the best cup of coffee out of. There is a guidebook of recommendations as well as more volcano paraphernalia than you could shake a stick at. Regarding the park, I would absolutely stay here if you either love volcanoes or plan to hike - yes you could technically stop by most of the attractions in half a day but even staying in the Kīlauea area and Crater Drive we had a full day in the park, dropped by the morning after and even returned twice more once we were in Hilo, and the convenience of being able to start and end our first day while practically in the park was palpable. My wife did note that the door to the rest of the house and the way the shower is somewhat of an add on did feel a bit to open and exposed to her, As the host has mentioned in other reviews the addition is fully separate from the house, so just keep in mind.

Perfect location minutes from the park! Nice private entrance, convenient water refill amenities, comfortable bed...would highly recommend for anyone wanting to spend some time near Volcano!

Great place just down the road from the National Park. Took 5 minutes or so to get to the main entrance. The unit is part of the main residence, which was quiet, however you could hear the wood creek above you when the residence walks. Like all Hawaii you are subject to the roosters waking you up early but definitely recommend if you need a place to crash VERY close to the park.

It was convenient and clean. A little bizarre that you had to leave the bedroom and go out in a foyer to use the toilet.
