Nice and quiet. Located near park entrance. Nice size room clean and confortable. Very attentive to their guests
Joel let us know that morning that an eruption had started. We were able to see it and have a fabulous stay without worrying about rushing back. The condo was great, very clean and as advertised. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others
This place is perfect for a single traveler or a couple looking to explore the volcano!
Pros: super close to Volcanoes NP
It was a perfedtly satisfactory place to stay in a location very convenient to the Volcano National Park. We had no complaints.
I stayed at this property to see the volcano eruption. It was perfect! This apartment has everything— the owner even provides flashlights which was a lifesaver when hiking around the crater rim trail in the dark.. I would stay again if I ever get the chance. Thank you!!
Just 5 miles to park entrance and April Fools day eruption did not disappoint!
The location was fantastic and the room was spotless. Perfect for two travelers.
Perfect spot for us before starting out to VNP! Quiet, with all the little touches that made us super comfy. Our host was quick to answer questions before our trip so we could enjoy ourselves fully.
Great host. Property cute and spotless. Perfect place to stay to visit Volcanoes National Park.
Joel delivered as advertised. Wife and I wanted to take quick trip to see the eruption at Kilauea. The property was about 10 min. from Volcanoes National Park and this fit the bill after some long hours volcano watching.
This place was in a great location if you wanted to visit the Volcano National Park. This was literally a 7 mins drive and if you're interested in playing golf, it was 5 mins away.
The unit is attached to the Joel's house so, we had to be mindful of keeping things down (not that we're loud people but wanted to be respectful). There was a microwave, a good size mini fridge, some plastic utensils, cutting knife/board, wine opener, disposable plates and cups! Coffeemaker was available and pods. The heated towel rack was a bonus!!! Joel was super kind and got us some milk and cookies from his neighbor the one morning since we forgot to get some!
I would recommend you staying here if you had only a couple of days to explore the area!
This is the perfect spot to stay if you want a bit more time to explore Volcanoes National Park and beat the crowds. Joel was great with communication and recommendations and as he said, we won the volcano lottery when the crater started erupting the morning we arrived!
Stayed here on our short trip to the national park.
It was a perfect location and a lovely little place that was easy to locate, yet perfectly quiet.
Joel was really communicative and answered all my questions and gave advice on where to visit and the weather conditions.
It was a perfect location for the night - thank you!
Joel had great communication with us and the place was nice and close to volcano. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend his place to anyone.
Wonderful little spot right in Volcano. The hosts gave us excellent hiking recommendations. The volcano Winery is walking distance. The bed was comfortable and we were plenty worm enough with the heater. 10/10 would stay here again
Warm and cozy room. Host was helpful and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!
Was about a 5 minute drive to park, was well outfitted with everything you need after a day hiking. Wonderful shower, and towel heater. Would stay there again.
We spent a few nights here to explore Volcano and Hilo areas after a few days on the Kona coast. The area is at about 4000 ft elevation, so expect cooler temperatures and rain now and then. This property is a very comfortably appointed guest quarters with it's own private entry and covered parking spot within Joel's home. He is such a a welcoming and friendly host, it quickly felt like staying with family! He has thought of all the welcoming touches, from plenty of coffee for the Keurig, cold filtered water in the fridge, wonderful bath products in the shower, extra amenities should you have forgotten anything under the bathroom vanity, and even a photo album with probably every brochure for every attraction in the area. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property and host!
