This is a great stay if you're looking for something specifically in Puna or very much off the beaten path. We stayed here four nights as a base for exploring the Hilo area, the Puna Coast, and Volcano National Park, and it was a pleasant, low-traffic trip to and from the various sights...just factor in the drive times if you do the same.
We wish we had planned to stay a bit longer and just enjoyed the farm...the location is spectacular, with an abundance of fruit trees and a view of the ocean in the distance. It was so quiet and peaceful and scenic! The farm is located very much off traveled roads in a quiet, mellow area. Expect plenty of nature sounds at night (the usual frogs) and a bird symphony in the morning.
Lynda's an exceptionally hospitable, responsive, and considerate host and made our stay pleasant. The farm was brimming with fruit while we were there and it was nice to be able to pick citrus for breakfast and spend time on the wraparound lanai in the fresh air. Superb stargazing at night, as well.
The cottage is comfy for a couple and well appointed with kitchen and bath basics. It was just enough "nature" for us two city folks without it being rustic or roughing it. We'd gladly stay here again. All in all a very refreshing place to stay for the senses.
