Amazing stay! I've first read about this place on a blog about off grid living in Hawaii and a year later was a guest. The host was not there but the property managers Amon and Ingrid kept good communication. We met them late at night (we visited the observatory on our way) at their house in Hilo and Amon led us out to the house and showed us all the features (and a few quirks). It's tucked back in a neighborhood with lots of privacy. Very clean environment. There were some beautiful geckos that got into the house but they were welcomed. The coqui frogs at night were awesome and pleasant to fall asleep to. We barely used any electricity but everything worked off grid as intended. The outdoor lava shower was our favorite. Heated water on demand was awesome. The outdoor bathroom was much more clean/modern than expected with an easy flushing toilet and cool sink. A lot of thought and a true craftsman built this cabin and made it unique. Excellent place to disconnect for a few days and explore the Hilo side of Hawaii. Note that i didn't get any Sprint cell reception, but my girlfriend had full LTE verzion. Probably for the better as I could truly disconnect. Some mosquitoes but there are sprays and coils to keep them away. All the painted eucalyptus trees were a bonus. Awesome stay and would stay here again in a second!
