The property was conveniently located close to National Volcano Park. The outdoor space was wonderful with ample seating and was covered. We were able to sit out in the rain by the fire pit being serenaded by the birds all night long! We would have found more info on the property helpful such as how to work the shower, where to leave the garbage etc. The only real issue were the beds they were not very comfortable.

Positives: --The location is perfect for anyone visiting Volcanoes National Park. --The deck is lovely. The grill is great and very clean.--The kitchen is old and there is no dishwasher but it is otherwise very well-equipped.Negatives:--The house is musty and smells absolutely terrible. There are dehumidifiers in every room. --The carpet is old and stained.--The furniture and bedding is very old. The blankets were musty.--There is a washer and a dryer in the unit but they are secured with locks. There is a laundromat in town but it is not nice and quite inconvenient.--Not the worst place but the musty, moldy smell is overpowering.

We loved our stay at this property and wish we would have stayed longer. Plenty of space for everyone and a gorgeous deck overlooking the lush gardens and foliage. We had a dip in the hot tub and met the very nice owner. The location in proximity to Volcanoes National Park was amazing - literally minutes.

We stayed with our three kids and had a great time! While some of the carpet and finishings are a bit worn, the great spaces made up for it. The hot tub was great after hiking at the national park all day, the deck was huge and amazing for grilling dinner, and the gardens made for a very unique rainforest feel to the whole stay!

Loved the gardens and the gorgeous covered lanai (patio). The unit was spacious and the proximity to Volcano NP was amazing! The beds were comfortable. The very minimal kitchen equipment made it hard to make dinner (ie-no large frying pan, etc) and the light coloured carpet was quite stained throughout which lead to a feeling of it being dirty. Easy fixes would make this place 5 stars.

This is an absolutely lovely home in the jungle, with lots of wood and high ceilings. The big lanai is a beautiful spot to relax. The house is spacious, with a nice kitchen and dining area. It would be perfect for a family or 2 or even 3 couples. And it is close to Volcano National Park. One thing to remember is that it gets gold in the jungle at night. The gas fire place warms up the living space, but bedrooms can be cold, so bring warm jammies.

Awesome property surrounded by ohia trees and hapu’u ferns giving a peaceful vibe. The house provided all our basic needs. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely return soon since I live on the other side of the island.

I loved how close to the national park this place was. I also loved that it could fit my family of 6.

The location is great to visit Volcano National Park and Hilo.
The house could use some TLC which did not come across in the supplied pictures. It has more of a cottage feel. There were cobwebs on the lights and corners of the room. The carpet was old and stained. The washrooms and kitchen could use updated fixtures. And the beds were quite old with little support.
The communication from the owner was good. The live in person on the lower level was friendly and helpful, but the ukulele playing at 6am was not appreciated.

We did not stay there because Danielle Barro double-booked the property even though I reserved it and paid for it 13 months in advance. I had communicated with her the week of our stay. I called after 4 PM the day of checkin and she hesitated and said “this hardly ever happens” and then tried to blame it on me because I hadn’t booked directly with her. I told her I had the confirmation fromVRBO but she said she has properties listed on multiple sites. I said I had just flown 5000 miles and asked her where our group of five people were supposed to stay. Danielle offered to try to find a place but it wouldn’t be in Volcano and I told here I didn’t trust anything she would do. After many calls, we found a place that was more than double what we paid for the VRBO. So, I do not plan to trust the VRBO bookings
