This was the coolest place we stayed on our entire trip in Hawaii! If you are coming to Hilo, then you must make it your mission to stay here and check out the lava! The house is about as close as you can get to see the Lava (biking and hiking required) but boy do they make the trip enjoyable! The room is so spacious, the bed is so comfortable and because we are about an hour away from downtown HiLo, they offer a shared kitchen so you could cook some meals (food and everything included) after that 10 mile hike. You would be absolutely doing yourself a disservice not staying here, Matt and Lauren are some of the nicest/smartest people I've met.
