The original email had a "directions" like that took us to a non-existent place in the middle of nowhere. We had to stop and try to find the actual address on our own. No clothing storage anywhere, no available closet or dresser of any kind. We had to live out of our suitcase the entire week. We were left 1/4 of a sponge to wash dishes. It did the job but geez, how expensive is a whole sponge? Overall, the place was clean, weird setup with bedroom downstairs and outside. The kitchen was well supplies with dishes, pans, etc. Couch was comfy.

Check in process was smooth and easy. The property had enough of the basic kitchen utensils to cook meals, the grill worked well. The small heaters provided quickly warmed up the cabin when needed. Bring plenty of fire starter if you plan to use the wood oven/ fireplace. The view from the back porch was as advertised, this felt like a very private getaway. We rarely heard noise from the neighboring properties. It would have been nice to have a few more outside seating options, especially to use the outside fire pit. Overall very happy with our stay and the proximity to the Park.

our stay

We had fun here- kinda rustic but comfortable. Should mention the house has an awkward layout with the bedroom downstairs next to the garage, so you have to walk outside in the rain to go back and forth. Loved the outdoor shower though.

Very expensive, confusing locks

Advertised cost was not actual cost. By a long shot. We paid over $500 for one night. I understand the properties are more geared to multiple nights, but that was too much. Five times advertised price. Also, would have appreciated some way to know what keys were for what locks.

Amazing home

We loved the location of this beautiful home. It was cozy and updated. The frogs at night were a welcome change to the construction and noise of Other hotel guests in Kona. Communication was great and it felt like we got a great deal . I would definitely stay here again.

Nice chicken house in the jungle.

We enjoyed this place as it was relatively close to the HI volcanoes park and very quiet. A little strange that the bedroom is separated (downstairs with separate locked door) from the rest of the house and isn’t close to the bathroom, but we got used to that and really enjoyed the quiet jungle and the chickens.

Was looking for a quite get away minutes for the National Park. Got some hiking and Mountain Biking in each day of my stay. Location very secluded and quite great for unwinding.

Chalet dans la nature mais déçue de la disposition

Nous avions réservé 3 nuits mais nous sommes restés seulement 2. La seule chambre est au rez-de chaussée et il n'y a pas store dans les 2 portes patio de la chambre. De plus, pour aller à la salle de bain, il faut sortir dehors monter au deuxième étage et entrer dans la salle commune. En arrivant ça sentait vraiment le renfermé. Nous avons donc dormi sur le divan lit au 2e étage, pas très confortable. La nuit il y a beaucoup de bruit. J'ai dû dormir avec des bouchons. Mais pour le reste c'était un beau petit chalet chaleureux dans la nature et très près du parc des volcans. C'était très facile aussi pour entrer sur les lieux. Nous avons été déçu mais pour ce qui est du prix c'est bien comme qualité/prix.

Wonderful accommodation to spend holidays

We can highly recommend the accommodation. After the start problems were solved, the stay went smoothly. The problems concerned 1. internet connection, 2. hot water, 3. TV. 1. internet did not work for the first 5 days, so we had practically no possibility of communication as foreigners = unacceptable. 2 The problem was solved quickly and easily. 3rd TV: The instructions for use were unusable due to faulty operating devices. The problem was solved within a reasonable time. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Volcano very much. We would rent the Guardian Hwak again for our next trip. Best regards, Thomas
