The location was great! Very close to both Volcano Village and to Volcano National Park. We enjoyed the quiet and spaciousness of the area surrounding the home. We rented two of the comfortable bedrooms; the third one was vacant so we had the whole house to ourselves. Leonard was very accommodating. We accidentally left a rain coat; he called us to let us know and offered to mail it back to us. We had questions about the TV--Leonard was only a phone call away and came right away to help us out.

Don't be concerned about the short drive on gravel road to the place. We googled the property address and we easily found it!

large house/ we booked one room for two but as there were no other guests we had it all to ourselves for the one night that we stayed !

it was down a road in the middle of nowhere in the Fern Forrest. so our GPS did not work when it was time to be notified to turn on the paved road. so missed the easy road and ended up driving a long distance on a hard diet road. All was well as I was with my boyfriend, but it would have been really a bit too isolated & scary if a location for one or two females traveling alone, in my opinion.

The property is in the forest and we had a whole floor to ourselves, large tv and Netflix available, we heard the Jamaican frogs at night lovely noise, these we were told would aid sleep, we had the best night sleep yet! Leon was fabulous, nothing too much trouble. Best check in, he took time to show us everything, even offered us coats as cold when viewing the volcano at night. Leon also showed us directions of route to take to airport and stops along the way which gave us experiences we would never have had. very accurate information provided by being a local.

hard to find but Leon always available on the phone for support anytime

Great location if you want to visit Volcano National Park. I was very jet lagged and looking for a not-too-expensive place to crash for one night in that area, and it was perfect for that. A bit of the beaten path (in middle of rain forest) but not too hard to find. Big room and comfortable bed. Didn't interact too much with staff but seemed nice.

Host gave us a lot of recommendations about where to go on the island. He basically planned our days, which was very helpful and nice. We enjoyed the sounds of the forest at night very much!

just bear in mind that the house is not very clean, I guess tropical humidity is not helping

California King bed was super comfy!

We wish that German Shephard's living quarters were not on the house porch. He is friendly, but leaves a trace of odor that does not blend well with the business nature of the property.

Seclude location about 20-min driving to the Volcano Visiting Center. The host is very kind and provides his advice for local attractions. The host is also very responsive to e-mails from his guests.

There are some stains in a number of places on carpet. Should have some deep cleaning or, better still. to be replaced with laminated floor for easy cleaning.
