This place was definitely rustic, as stated in the description, and it was a nice stay. This was a stopover for us, but if you are exploring the Waipio Valley it's a great location for a few days. The bed was comfortable and everything worked, although some of the light switches are in funky places. It was really peaceful and the Waipio overlook is amazing. We loved the nighttime jungle sounds. It was raining when we were there but I'm sure the night sky is amazing when it's clear. One thing - bring your own coffee, as it was not provided. Bill, the host, was very responsive to communications and all the directions were clear and easy.
