It is 3 miles from Volcanoes National park entrance. Unit was very nice and quiet, the fruit and oatmeal and coffee that was provided meant we didn't need to go out for breakfast! This unit, Orchid room, had a fancy fish pond in one section of the room, and a nice walkin tiled shower.

This is a lovely rustic place to stay. When I rate the condition as excellent, it might not be for everyone. I like rustic. It's in the fern forest surrounded by giant ferns and orchids growing out of trees. It's minutes from Vocano National Park. There was a lovely basket of fruit and a plate of banana bread with butter on the table when we arrived. The room was clean and the beds were comfy.

We loved everything about the room except for tiny little ants in the kitchen area but honestly that is not unusual in Hawaii. The Orchid Room (Room 6) was stunning. The bathroom and koi pond were really well done. Loved using the jacuzzi tub as the Kona rain storm started ramping up. We lost power a few times and had to pack up by flashlight in the morning but totally understand as it was a very strong storm -- strong enough to close the national park later that day. Would have loved to have stayed longer. We hope to come back some day.

Secluded. Tropical property. Comfortable, roomy, fresh fruit, coffee, packaged breakfast provided. We loved this place. It was quirky and laid back. I found myself wishing every day of my Hawaiian vacation started and ended here instead of just an overnight.

Rooms were clean. In room breakfast was good, but was not plenty for a family of 4. However, the fruits were fresh and refreshing. The bathroom did not have a sink which was a little inconvenience, but the location of the property was great which was the biggest differentiator for this place. Little hard to find but the owner gave very clear instructions to locate the property. In all, happy with the overall service.

This is a fantastic spot if you’re spending time at Volcanoes National Park. Shannon and her husband were great hosts. The room was very nice and had a water fall feature that really added to the ambiance and enhanced our experience there. They had e-bikes available that gave us a unique experience in the park. Wish we had spent 2 nights.

Disliked: Amenities
Check-in was a bit challenging as we had to walk aroung and check rooms and then guess which was ours, The room is a bit eclectic as the shower floor is some combination of rocks and ?? The room has some smell likely due to volcano water. The lavatubes apparently haven't been anything for some years. The room wass somewhat clean and no insects visible. The TV set had one volume. Overall it worked but no more.
