The studio was very nice, clean and well appointed. It is within a gated private residence so we felt very safe. The location is just 10 minutes from Volcano National Park so very convenient. There are some local food options and more, including Foodland Grocery, about 15 miles away. there is a microwave, refrigerator and coffee machine for basic food options. A knife, cutting board, microwavable bowl, and can opener would provide more food preparation options.
The host was wonderful and worked with us as we needed to extend our stay.
You won't be disappointed! The amenities are very thoughtful and practical. The studio is comfortable, and very clean.
Elaine and Carter are friendly and helpful with great tips about visiting Volcanoes NP and Volcano Village.
Our stay at the Fern Studio was excellent. The hosts, Elaine and Carter, were so incredibly kind and very communicative. Providing instructions early prior to our arrival and gave us lots of tips while we were there. Especially for the National Park next door.
Very friendly hosts and a neighborhood rooster! The place was extremely clean, and pretty convenient to Volcanos National Park. Eating-out options in Volcano town were extremely limited, so maybe consider going into Hilo (about 25 mins)... not the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in but definitely not the worst either. Very quiet.
