The location is actually in Volcano, on the Big Island in Hawaii. Do you want to explore Volcano National Park, Hilo's Exotic Gardens and Zoo, Akaka Falls, and flower and macadamia nut farms? Then use this comfy home as your base. It is located two miles from the entrance to the National Park in a residential area and nestled in a natural setting of tree ferns and Ohia trees.

Accommodations are three fun, decorated rooms with keyed locks. Downstairs, you'll find the Cat Room with a queen bed, and the Bears Room with twin beds, both have half baths and share a shower. Upstairs, the Heart Room has a queen bed and a bath which is shared only if the owner's studio is in use.

A charming, tree-view, glass-enclosed porch with eating and light cooking facilities is available for shared use. Coffee, tea, and small treats are supplied in this red-tiled and carpeted area.

When you visit someone's home in Hawaii, the local courtesy is to remove your shoes before entering. Remove da shoes. . . Mahalo!

There is a shared sitting area with a gas fireplace and a laundry area. The washer and the dryer honor fee is $1.50 each. The 3,500-feet elevation and cooler temperatures make the flannel sheets very cozy.
