We spent a few nights here to explore Volcano and Hilo areas after a few days on the Kona coast. The area is at about 4000 ft elevation, so expect cooler temperatures and rain now and then. This property is a very comfortably appointed guest quarters with it's own private entry and covered parking spot within Joel's home. He is such a a welcoming and friendly host, it quickly felt like staying with family! He has thought of all the welcoming touches, from plenty of coffee for the Keurig, cold filtered water in the fridge, wonderful bath products in the shower, extra amenities should you have forgotten anything under the bathroom vanity, and even a photo album with probably every brochure for every attraction in the area. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property and host!
