The room is pretty. They offer fruit, noodles, cookies, oatmeal and coffee ground in the room. The wifi is weak, gravel road is narrow but overall a convenient place as a middle stop from kona to hilo.

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.

Very strange room. Very cold (thank god they had a space heater). No drinkable water. They partially filled a filtered water container for our limited use!! Room very dark. This lodge was rated excellent, but there was nothing excellent about it.

Close to Volcanoes Park.

Property is more of an Airbnb. It was located in a lush tropical property and check in was a key left in the units door. Good location for visiting Volcanoes park. Good place if you’re mode of travel is simple with minimal amenities. Owners made the stay comfortable. Unfortunately not many restaurants were open on our Monday visit.
