We really loved this home. It is so peaceful there. There are other houses nearby, but it feels as if you're in the middle of an uninhabited rainforest. We watched birds and listened to the frogs in the backyard, and it really was such a nice place to relax at the end of our days. The hot tub was wonderful in the evenings. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, and the entire house was clean and comfortable (including the beds). Communication with the host was quick and easy. Just as a tip, an extra power strip or two could be useful in some rooms as the outlets aren't always in the most ideal locations. The heated towel rack and dehumidifier were wonderful for drying wet items, and the washer and dryer were such a great feature. Some reviewers mentioned the road to the house being a bit rough. I can assure you any rental car should be fine traveling the short road. It is a gravel type road, but it is not deeply rutted or overly bumpy at all. The house is so perfectly located for going to Volcanoes National Park (it's like 5 minutes away), and is a great place to retire at the end of each day. We really couldn't find anything bad about this house...it is one of our favorite vacation rentals that we have ever stayed in (and we've stayed in quite a few). We would stay here again without hesitation. In fact, if we ever come back to the Volcano area, we won't even look for another place to stay...we'll just book this place immediately. It's that good!
