Walking through the property, you will find many varieties of orchids, Antheriums and many other beautiful plants.

About the host
Hosted by Mitch Carlson
Our family has been living part time on the Big Island of Hawaii for a few years now and love to share our experiences and all we love about Hawaii with our guests. We love to hike and drive through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It is truly amazing. During our travels, we have stayed in hotels, timeshares and vacation rentals and we have tried to bring the best of all three to our homes for your upmost comfort and feeling of home. We love to bring our family and friends wherever we go. Our family never wants to leave our home in Volcano or say good-bye to the Big Island. Fingers crossed maybe someday we will stay forever.
