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.

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.

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.
